A toast to Itabashi’s brewing scene

LIVIN' LARGE BEER & GALLERY has shared a post featuring TOKYO ALEWORKS in Itabashi and a nearby yakitori restaurant marking its 50th anniversary this year. The story brings together local brewing and the long history of neighborhood dining.

TOKYO ALEWORKS operates a taproom inside Itabashi Cask Village, serving more than ten house-brewed beers alongside American-style food. Its lineup includes the Itabashi Hiiru Lager, a German-style pilsner with a clean, refreshing profile. The name references Itabashi’s historical connection with beer.

Another notable pour is Straight On Brew Light Lager, an American lager created in collaboration with Break Edge Beerworks, WCB, and hardcore legend Joe D. Foster. It is designed around a light body and a crisp, sharp finish.

LIVIN' LARGE BEER & GALLERY is a Higashi-Nagasaki beer pub where craft beer meets art and local culture. For beer enthusiasts, the connection between a neighborhood institution celebrating five decades and a modern brewery continuing to develop Itabashi’s beer identity makes this a particularly appealing local story.
