Sakamichi Brewing to Hold “Sakamichi Summer Fest” from June 19
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo, will host “Sakamichi Summer Fest” from June 19 to 21. The brewery says the taproom will feature an IPA contest, along with food pop-ups, music, and a craft beer run across the weekend.
Hop BroTachikawa is about to get lively, because Sakamichi Summer Fest is happening at Sakamichi Brewing from June 19 to 21.
MugiWait, a full three-day craft beer party? Tachikawa just turned into summer vacation!
Hop BroExactly. Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo, makes everything from classic styles to modern craft beer, and they care about locality, process, and the environment too.
MugiNice! So this time, instead of one named beer, the star is the IPA contest, right? Please tell me that is not a speed-drinking battle.
Hop BroThat misunderstanding was impressively wild. IPA is a beer style, and the fun is the hop aroma showdown. You compare bitterness, citrus notes, and all those little differences.
MugiHold on, what is a beer style? Do beers have wardrobes now?
Hop BroKind of. A beer style is just a flavor category, like salt or miso for ramen. Here, the tasting focus is IPA, so even beginners can find what they like.
MugiOkay, that sounds manageable! And if there are food pop-ups plus a DJ, my stomach and my ears are both fully booked.
Hop BroThe schedule is strong too. June 19 has Tokyo Arepa!, June 20 has Taquito! and DJ Sada San, and June 21 brings Lapin Cafe! plus Craft Beer Run!
MugiWhat do you mean, run and then drink? Craft Beer Run sounds healthy and irresponsible at the exact same time!
Hop BroAnd it is not just a taproom stop. Pairing beer with food and music turns it into the whole experience, which feels very Sakamichi Brewing.
MugiYeah, I am done resisting. Just picturing that first pour makes me thirsty, and now both of us want an IPA in Tachikawa.
Sakamichi Brewing is a craft brewery based in Tachikawa, Tokyo. On its official website, the brewery describes its approach as covering a wide range of beer styles, from classic to modern interpretations, while also paying attention to process, local ingredients, and environmental responsibility.
The event announced on Instagram is “Sakamichi Summer Fest.” According to the post, the brewery will run an IPA contest in the taproom from Friday, June 19 through Sunday, June 21, while another area will host food pop-ups, music, and other events. Rather than a one-off gathering, it is structured as a weekend-long program.
The announced lineup is:
- June 19 (Fri) 17:00-22:00 `Tokyo Arepa!`
- June 20 (Sat) 12:00-20:00 `Taquito!`
- June 20 (Sat) 18:00-22:00 `DJ Sada San`
- June 21 (Sun) 12:00-20:00 `Lapin Cafe!`
- June 21 (Sun) 18:15-19:30 `Craft Beer Run!`
The appeal here is not only the beer, but the pairing of food, music, and tasting-driven programming. For a brewery in Tachikawa, the festival also reflects an effort to build an experience around the taproom, not just serve a pint.
