Mugizakkoku Kobo Microbrewery sets August taproom hours and event dates
The Ogawa-machi brewery has posted its August taproom schedule. Regular hours stay at Wednesday-Friday 15:00-18:30 last order and Saturday, Sunday, and holidays 11:00-18:30, with a closure from August 12 to 14 and event appearances on August 1, 2, 8, and 9.
Hop BroThis month’s August update from Bakuzakkoku Kobo Microbrewery is packed. Their Ogawa taproom schedule is out, and they’re also popping up in Yorii, Kagurazaka, and Higashi-Tokorozawa.
MugiWait, full road-trip mode already? So it’s not just one taproom visit, it’s basically a summer beer chase?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They’re known for beer from the field, using homegrown and local ingredients at their small brewery and taproom in Ogawa, Saitama.
MugiWhoa, homegrown ingredients sounds very science-lab to me. In normal-person language, that means they’re serious about where the beer starts, right?
Hop BroExactly. The appeal is that the local character shows up in the beer. The taproom runs 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekends and holidays, and it’s closed August 12 to 14.
MugiOkay, three-day holiday closure noted. I was one bad plan away from showing up to a locked door and emotionally flatlining.
Hop BroThe big one is August 2 at Taihu Tokyo in Kagurazaka, where they’re doing a TTO event with Taihu Brewing. Draft and canned beer from both breweries will be lined up.
MugiWhat is that, an alphabet attack? TTO sounds like secret beer code only advanced drinkers can unlock.
Hop BroIt means Tap Takeover, basically taking over the taps. Their collaboration beer “PINE PINE” will be there too, along with core beers, seasonal releases, and even foeder-aged beers.
MugiHold on, foeder-aged beers sounds like a final boss. But the simple version is: lots of different styles and flavors in one very dangerous lineup?
Hop BroThat’s it. They’re also pouring at the Yorii Tamayodo Suitengu Festival on August 1 and the Tokorozawa Sakura Town Summer Festival on August 8 and 9, so you can catch them anywhere this month.
MugiThen it’s settled: I need that PINE PINE and I want the Ogawa taproom too. My August schedule is starting to look suspiciously beer-first.
Mugizakkoku Kobo Microbrewery in Ogawa-machi, Saitama, has shared its taproom schedule for August. The brewery has been operating in the town since 2003 and continues to focus on what it calls beer from the fields, using homegrown and locally sourced ingredients in its brewing.
