Hop BroGood news for beer fans in Kanda, Craft Beer Market Kanda is making a move!
MugiWhoa! What is it? It sounds like the 9th anniversary celebration is happening!?
Hop BroExactly. The 9th anniversary celebration is planned for Sunday, April 12, 2026, and this Saturday there’s also a TTO with Minami Aizu announced.
MugiWhen it gets abbreviated as TTO, it suddenly sounds technical! What do you actually do at a tap takeover?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s an event where one brewery takes over a bunch of taps, and the bar’s faucets become all brewery, all the time for the day.
MugiWow, a tasting paradise! So how broad is the tap list that day?
Hop BroThey’ve got lagers like Heartland and KUJUKURI OCEAN 99, and IPAs all the way up to Punk IPA and W-IPA. It’s truly from lager to IPA.
MugiNice! And the names are intense too! Super Smash IPA - Simcoe sounds like a finishing move!
Hop BroIt’s designed to highlight the character of a single hop, so the aroma profile comes through clearly. And Kanda Tonic, their herb saison, is interesting too.
MugiWait, now what’s hazy? Are hazy IPA styles the juicy kind?
Hop BroExactly. The appeal is the soft mouthfeel from the haze, and the bitterness doesn’t come across too sharply. It’s a good setup for easy comparison tasting even after work.
MugiThat settles it! I want to go this Saturday and on April 12 too. Let’s toast with the first pint!
