Hop BroOGA BREWING in Mitaka has an idea for Respect for the Aged Day: beer with a hand-drawn label.
MugiWhat? You can draw on a beer label? That’s a truly one-of-a-kind gift!
Hop BroExactly. Just ask the staff at the shop, and you can draw it right on the spot.
MugiI want to draw Grandpa’s portrait! But if my artistic talent goes missing, can I hide it behind beer foam?
Hop BroThat would give it character. OGA BREWING is a brewery with a brewery and taproom in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka, Tokyo.
MugiA taproom? Is that a room full of faucets? I’m picturing a bathroom!
Hop BroClose! It’s a place with taps for pouring beer and enjoying it fresh. Here, you can drink while looking at the tanks.
MugiNice! Looking at the tanks makes it feel like you’re tasting the beer’s whole journey. What beers do they have?
Hop BroThey offer neighborhood-inspired beers like Mitaka Pale Ale, Mitaka Wheat Ale, and KICHIJOJI IPA. A pale ale is a style with a great balance of aroma and easy drinking.
MugiNow I want one too, even though it’s meant as a gift! They open at 11 on September 23, so let’s check the schedule and go draw some labels!
