Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo, will hold a two-day lager tasting and presentation, “Let’s Lager!”, at Sakamichi Taproom on March 26 and 27. The event lets attendees compare seven different lagers while learning about the style and brewing history, and advance reservations are required.
Hop BroToday we’re talking about Sakamichi Brewing’s Let’s Lager! event in Tachikawa. It’ll be held at Sakamichi Taproom on March 26 and 27 from 19:00 to 20:00.
MugiWait, there’s an event like that on a weekday night? March 26 and 27 in the evening is perfect for heading straight there after work!
Hop BroWhat’s cool is that Sebastian Hohentanner from BET Brewing / Tokyo Helles will be giving the presentation, and the setup is to compare seven different lagers while learning about their styles and history.
MugiNo way! When people start talking about lager styles, it suddenly sounds complicated... are the style differences about more than just flavor?
Hop BroAbsolutely. For example, lager is fermented slowly at low temperatures, so it tends to have a clean aroma and a crisp finish.
MugiOhh! So the yeast works hard in a cold room and that’s why it comes out refreshing? Like yeast winter training—cute!
Hop BroAnd this isn’t just a tasting event, either. The exciting part is that they’ll also dig into the context of Tachikawa Helles, which Sakamichi Brewing has been brewing together with him from last year into this year.
MugiA collaboration backstory too? That’s unfair! But is it something I can actually go to? Is reservation required for real?
Hop BroDefinitely. The participation fee is JPY 2,200 if paid in advance or JPY 2,500 on the day, and you can reserve through the application form and pay at any Sakamichi Brewing location.
MugiIf it’s that price for learning and drinking, there’s no reason not to go! My brain is already in full lager mode!
Hop BroThen let’s book it right now. On the day, we’ll toast in Tachikawa and work our way through all seven at a relaxed pace.
