Sekimachi Cellar to host GRANDLINE half tap takeover on June 12
Sekimachi Cellar in Tokyo will host a one-day Half TapTake Over with Yokosuka-based GRANDLINE on Friday, June 12. Four GRANDLINE taps are planned, along with tacos, a giveaway raffle, and extended hours until 10 p.m.
Hop BroSekimachi Cellar is throwing a GRANDLINE Half TTO on Friday, June 12, and this kind of beer event has a way of taking over your whole evening.
MugiWait, Half TTO means what exactly? Like the taps get hijacked, but only halfway?
Hop BroPretty much, but in a friendly way. It's a four-tap takeover, so four lines will be pouring GRANDLINE instead of the full board.
MugiOhh, a mini beer expedition. And if they're open until 10 p.m., this is actually doable after work.
Hop BroExactly, and GRANDLINE is a Yokosuka brewery that launched in October 2023 with a glocal idea of connecting local brewing to Japan and the world.
MugiHold on, glocal beer sounds like a business seminar that accidentally became delicious.
Hop BroIt just means local roots, global outlook. Plus brewer Onishi is expected to be there, so even though the beer names and style details are still to be announced, you can hear the story straight from the source.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. A beer with commentary track is exactly how I end up ordering one more.
Hop BroAnd the food side is strong too: COKO Tacos Day is serving handmade tortilla tacos from 3 p.m., built with beer pairing in mind.
MugiSo it's not just pouring beer, it's a full-on event day with prize draws and even a rock-paper-scissors contest?
Hop BroRight, and Sekimachi Cellar has that casual sip-or-stay vibe with the kakuuchi counter and second-floor terrace, so you can drop in for one and accidentally stay for four.
MugiYeah, I'm in. June 12 at Sekimachi Cellar sounds like one of those nights where I suddenly need tacos, GRANDLINE, and absolutely no early bedtime.
Event overview
Sekimachi Cellar, a beer pub in Sekimachi Higashi, Nerima, Tokyo, will host a Half TapTake Over with GRANDLINE on Friday, June 12. It is set to be the brewery's first Friday takeover at the venue, and the shop will stay open until 10 p.m., giving guests more time to enjoy the lineup.
What to drink
The announcement does not yet list the individual beer names, but four GRANDLINE beers are scheduled to go on tap. GRANDLINE started in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, in October 2023 and describes its brewing as a local-to-global effort. The brewery's representative, Mr. Ohnishi, is also expected to visit, which should make this a good opportunity to hear about the beers directly from the maker.
Food and atmosphere
Food will be provided through COKO Tacos Day, with Mexican tacos and handmade tortillas. Food service starts at 3 p.m. The event also includes a raffle for drinkers and a planned rock-paper-scissors game, so it is designed as more than just a tap release.
Sekimachi Cellar offers a counter for standing drinks and a second-floor terrace, making it an easy place to stop by while shopping or walking around the neighborhood. It is a relaxed setting for a quick beer, but also well suited to spending time comparing different pours. This takeover looks like a chance to experience GRANDLINE's beers in a setting that feels close to the brewery's own energy.
