Kiuchi Brewery has announced the operation of BAR BUS HITACHINO, a dedicated bus tour with an onboard bar. Guests can enjoy Hitachino Nest Beer and other Kiuchi beverages while visiting breweries, a distillery and a sake brewery in the Hitachino area of Ibaraki.
Hop BroKiuchi Brewery has decided to run a bar on wheels, BAR BUS HITACHINO. It is a trip through Hitachino with great drinks!
MugiWhat, a bar inside a bus!? Cheers while traveling sounds like an adults-only field trip!
Hop BroIt has a green body, an owl logo, and even a counter with taps inside. That means Hitachino Nest Beer can be poured onboard.
MugiAre taps like faucets? So there are beer-only faucets on the bus? Wouldn’t the bumps make everything extra foamy?
Hop BroExactly—they are beer-serving faucets. The appeal is pouring it at its best drinking condition, with the temperature and carbonation managed well.
MugiWow! And Kiuchi Brewery does more than beer, right? It sounds like a department store of drinks—how could I choose?
Hop BroAlongside Hitachino Nest Beer, the tour may offer Hinomaru whisky, Hinomaru gin, Kiuchi plum liqueur, and Kikuzakari sake. Five drink categories from one producer is impressive.
MugiI thought it was a beer trip, but there’s gin and sake too!? My taste buds might get lost in Hitachino!
Hop BroPast itineraries left Tokyo Station and visited the Yago Distillery and the Nukada brewery, where Hitachino Nest Beer is made.
MugiA brewery visit, tastings, and local food too? You get to taste the brewing region itself. That is lovely.
Hop BroKiuchi Brewery traces its roots to a sake brewery founded in 1823, while Hitachino Nest Beer began in 1996. It feels like a toast across two centuries.
MugiI want to ride it already! Dates, prices, and departure points vary by tour, so let’s check the official details and toast on the owl bus!
A mobile bar tour through Hitachino
Kiuchi Brewery announced the operation of BAR BUS HITACHINO through its official Instagram account. The dedicated bus features a tap-equipped bar counter, allowing guests to enjoy Kiuchi beverages while traveling through the landscape and production sites of Hitachino.
According to the official project website, the tour can feature Hitachino Nest Beer, Hinomaru Whisky, Hinomaru Gin, Kiuchi Umeshu and Kikusakari sake. Previous itineraries have departed from Tokyo Station and visited Yasato Distillery, Nukada Brewery, where Hitachino Nest Beer is made, and the Konosu brewery. Departure points, operating dates, prices and reservation procedures vary by tour, so prospective guests should check the latest official information.
BAR BUS HITACHINO is designed as more than transportation. Some tours offer access to production sites that do not normally accept general visitors, along with tastings, guided visits and meals featuring ingredients from the Hitachino region. The combination gives beer fans an opportunity to experience the brewing process and the local food culture around the drinks.
Kiuchi Brewery is based in Naka, Ibaraki, and traces its history to a sake brewery founded in 1823. The company launched Hitachino Nest Beer in 1996, developing an international reputation through its owl label and broad range of beer styles. Kiuchi also produces sake, whisky, gin and plum wine, making the bus tour a compact introduction to the brewery’s wider portfolio.
The next details to watch are the route, operating schedule and beer lineup for the newly announced service. Updates will be provided through Kiuchi Brewery and BAR BUS HITACHINO’s official channels.
