MugiWhat?! A Fukushima brewery in Nakano? That is absolutely a beer trip worth making!
Hop BroTheir booth is at Venue B, No. 33 in the Shikinomori Park event area. It runs 10 a.m.–8 p.m. on the 24th and 10 a.m.–6 p.m. on the 25th, rain or shine.

Hop BroThe brewery has a 29-year brewing history in Anna Garden, Fukushima City. They’ve been brewing with views of the Azuma mountain foothills.
MugiWow! Does using snowmelt water and European ingredients really change the flavor that much?
Hop BroIt does. Snowmelt is the brewing water—the beer’s foundation. They pair it with European malt, hops, and yeast for a balance of smoothness, body, and crispness.
MugiHold on—malt, hops, and yeast… are the three beer musketeers assembling? In my head, they all wear capes!
Hop BroThat works! Malt brings sweetness and body, hops bring aroma and bitterness, and yeast builds flavor through fermentation. Their regular lineup includes pilsner, weizen, and red ale.
MugiSo many choices—what a delightful problem! But I’m especially curious about their Fukushima fruit beers.
Hop BroThen try the Peach Lager. It uses Fukushima-grown Akatsuki white peaches selected by Date Farm, and it earned a Japan Great Beer Awards silver.
