Passific Brewing tap takeover and HOLA debut at Barchie's Spareribs Factory
Barchie's Spareribs Factory in Kamakura will host a Passific Brewing tap takeover for its third-anniversary party on August 23. Five beers are listed for the day, including the debut of HOLA, the anniversary Mexican Lager brewed for the occasion.
Hop BroKamakura has a Passific Brewing TTO on August 23. It’s happening at Barchie's Spareribs Factory, and the big draw is the early tapping of HOLA for the third anniversary.
MugiWait, Barchie's is the rib place, right? A third anniversary party with a beer takeover too sounds like my stomach and my mood both win.
Hop BroAnd from around noon to 7 p.m., the brewery team pours in person. Getting served by Passific Brewing while hearing the backstory is half the fun.
MugiOkay, but what even is a tap takeover? Is that when the faucets unionize and declare a beer coup?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. The bar becomes five Passific taps for the day, so you can run through HOLA, Snooze, Umee, Passific IPA, and Wald in one shot.
MugiWhoa, HOLA is a Mexican Lager? Masa flour and sudachi in a beer sounds like a taco stand just opened in my brain.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. HOLA stays crisp and easy, but the toasted masa note and green sudachi aroma make it pop. Pair the early-pour HOLA with Barchie's food and it’s game over.
MugiHold on, Umee says tannins and minerality and now I feel like I wandered into wine class. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIt’s a sour ale with ume and red shiso. Tannins mean a gentle drying edge, minerality means a sharp, clean snap, so think wine-like sour rather than candy-sour.
MugiThat sounds fancy. So Snooze is bright and herbal, Passific IPA is tropical with real bitterness, and Wald is dark but clean? This lineup has range.
Hop BroExactly. You’ve got lager, sour, IPA, and Schwarz all in one spread. And Schwarz just means black lager, so Wald brings chocolate-and-coffee aromas without finishing heavy.
MugiYeah, I’m sold. I want a HOLA toast in Kamakura by daytime, then a slow Wald finish later. Even talking about it makes me thirsty.
Barchie's Spareribs Factory in Kamakura is set to hold its third-anniversary party and a Passific Brewing tap takeover on Sunday, August 23. According to the post, the Passific team will be on site from around noon until about 7 p.m., serving five beers that will be poured on the day.
Beer lineup
- HOLA / 4.5% / Mexican Lager
First poured for the anniversary party. It is described as a bright, crisp Mexican Lager built around masa powder from the tacos and the fresh green character of sudachi.
- Snooze / 5% / Summer Lager
A light, refreshing lager with white-grape and herbal notes, plus a firm bitter finish.
- Umee / 4.5% / Sour Ale w/Ume
A sour ale made with Nanko plums from Chigasaki and red shiso. Fruity, mineral-driven, and a little wine-like in character.
- Passific IPA / 6% / IPA
Balanced between tropical fruit and grassy hops, with juicy depth and a solid bitterness.
- Wald / 5.5% / Schwarz
A black lager with chocolate and coffee-like roasted malt aromas, finishing clean and dry.
Barchie's Spareribs Factory is a food-driven Kamakura spot where ribs, tacos, and beer fit naturally together. With HOLA opening early and the rest of the Passific lineup spanning lager, sour, IPA, and schwarz, the party should offer a broad snapshot of the brewery's range.
