BLACK TIDE BREWING to Exhibit at Three Venues in Tokyo, Omiya, and Kesennuma in May
BLACK TIDE BREWING, the brewpub in Kesennuma, Miyagi, announced its event schedule for May. The lineup includes appearances at craft beer events at three venues: Roppongi in Tokyo, Omiya in Saitama, and its home base of Kesennuma.
Hop BroThe fact that BLACK TIDE BREWING is moving through Tokyo, Omiya, and Kesennuma in May makes the cross-over across three venues especially exciting.
MugiWait, three cities in one month!? Just keeping up with all those appearances sounds exhausting!
Hop BroOn May 4 and 5 it's the "Craft Beer Invitational at TOKYO MIDTOWN" in Roppongi, from May 13 to 17 it's the "Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival" in Omiya, and on May 30 it's the hometown "Kesennuma Beer Festival 2026." That's a real nationwide event tour.
MugiOh wow, Keyaki Hiroba runs for five days! With that kind of stretch, I'd probably be staring at my schedule before I even started staring at the beer.
Hop BroAnd the hours change by day too: May 13 is 16:00-21:00, May 14 through 16 are 11:00-21:00, and May 17 is 11:00-20:00. These are the kinds of details where the exact time slot matters, so checking before you go is important.
MugiWhat is this, they even have a proper daytime drinking lineup! This is the kind of place where you'd walk in and immediately look like you've already won the day.
Hop BroThe final stop in Kesennuma is at Minamimachi Kaigan Park from 11:00 to 19:00, and it's the most obvious homecoming event for BLACK TIDE BREWING. The flow from Tokyo and Saitama back to their base really feels clean.
MugiFollowing Tokyo, Saitama, and Kesennuma in order really lets you see where BTB is right now. I like that you can trace its current position over just one month; it's a little moving!
Hop BroThe post also positions May as a "major festival month" for BTB, so it's basically a month where you soak in the momentum of the beer scene from spring into early summer.
MugiI've already cleared my schedule! I want to prepare for tastings and follow the whole route, from Roppongi to Omiya to Kesennuma!
