TAP ROOM 99 unveils September specials, 2nd anniversary event, and 99 Hoppy Lager
TAP ROOM 99 in Chiba has announced its September schedule and event lineup. The month starts with seasonal dishes on September 1, followed by a three-day 2nd anniversary event from September 4 to 6 featuring the commemorative beer 99 Hoppy Lager and discounted draft beer.
Hop BroChiba just gave us a very solid reason to go out. TAP ROOM 99 is holding its 2nd anniversary event from September 4 to 6.
MugiWait, not just a party? They’re also pouring 99 Hoppy Lager for it?
Hop BroExactly. The name says it all: it’s a hoppy lager, built on lager drinkability with a clear hop aroma on top.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? A beer with lager manners and IPA-level drama?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s pretty close. The fermentation stays clean, and the hops add crisp bite and aroma without making it too heavy.
MugiAnd during the event, craft beer is all 550 yen? My wallet just started cheering.
Hop BroThere’s more: six anniversary food specials, a garapon challenge with limited food orders, and a September 5 talk at 9 p.m. by head brewer Matsuo.
MugiPlus a rock-paper-scissors contest and original stickers? Okay, but those September dishes... when do I eat them?
Hop BroImportant catch: the hot salad, fig fritters, and mentaiko mushroom pizza run September 1 to 30, but they pause during the anniversary event.
MugiOhhh, so I go before or after the event. And they serve fresh KANKIKU BREWERY beer in a 12-tap lounge near Chiba Station? That’s strong.
Hop BroRight, and from September 25 to 27 they’re doing another release tie-in with a 990-yen pairing set. At this point, my throat is already there.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want 99 Hoppy Lager first, and the limited food right after. My stomach and my glass are both ready.
TAP ROOM 99 is KANKIKU BREWERY's taproom in Chiba, where draft beer is served fresh from the brewery. It sits within walking distance of JR Chiba Station and Keisei Chiba-Chuo Station, with a calm, adult-friendly atmosphere and 12 taps at the counter.
September seasonal food
From September 1 to 30, the menu features seasonal dishes such as a "fall comfort" hot salad, fig fritters with jamon serrano, and maitake mushroom and spinach mentaiko pizza. These seasonal dishes will be paused during the anniversary event period.
2nd anniversary event runs September 4-6
The main highlight is the three-day anniversary event. The commemorative beer "99 Hoppy Lager" will be on tap, and all craft beer will be priced at JPY 550. The lineup also includes six anniversary-only food items, a gacha challenge for guests ordering limited dishes, a talk event with head brewer Matsuo at 9:00 p.m. on September 5, a winner-takes-all rock-paper-scissors contest, and an original sticker gift for visitors.
Another release event later in the month
