Hop BroUshitori Brewery TTO is coming to Beer Bar Sai in Nagaoka on March 21, and that is definitely not one to miss!
MugiWait! From afternoon to night sounds amazing, and a March 21, 2026, 3:00 p.m. start makes this a serious event!
Hop BroExactly, you can really take your time until after 9:00 p.m., and this time there are 8 varieties planned, so the tasting comparison should be a lot of fun.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean? What is TTO? Tap takeover sounds way too intense!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a "takeover" where kegs from a specific brewery line the taps for just that day, and this time the taps will be all Ushitori.
MugiOhh! So even beginners can find something they can drink? I'm still training for the really bitter stuff, so I want a gentle first glass!
Hop BroThat's the nice part: it has a wide range, from classic styles to fruit beers and even high-ABV options, so in style terms you can aim for everything from pale ales to fruit beers.
MugiHigh-ABV? That sounds strong! I'm one of those people who turns red right away, so I want to know about the broad range of alcohol levels first!
Hop BroHigh-ABV means higher alcohol content, so if you start from lighter beers and move toward the stronger ones, you'll be fine. Plus, the venue is in Sakanoue-cho, so it's easy to access downtown, which helps.
MugiDecision made! Let's check the lineup for the day and have a toast at Sai! I want to start our tasting strategy meeting right now!
According to Beer Bar Sai's announcement, this TTO will feature Tochigi's Ushitori Brewery as the guest. The event will run on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 15:00 to after 21:00, making it a setup you can enjoy leisurely from afternoon into night on the weekend.
In the post text, Ushitori Brewery's beers are described as spanning "a wide range," from classic styles to easy-drinking fruit-based types and even higher-alcohol offerings. It looks like there will be options not only for people already familiar with craft beer, but also for those who are not fond of bitterness or are just starting to get into craft beer.
Also, the announcement image says "8 varieties planned", which raises expectations for tasting across the taps. Food was undecided at the time of the announcement, but Sai says preparations are underway.
