Narita Airport’s new café to serve Choshi Beer’s Narita Airport Ale from June 26
Choshi Cheers, the Choshi, Chiba-based company behind Choshi Beer, announced on Instagram that NRT BEER FLIGHT CAFE will open in the post-security area of the connecting corridor on the second floor of Narita Airport Terminal 2. The café opens on June 26 at 10:30 a.m. and will pour Narita Airport Ale on draft in a permanent venue for the first time.
Hop BroHere’s a strong airport detour: Narita Terminal 2 is getting NRT BEER FLIGHT CAFE in the post-security area, opening at 10:30 a.m. on June 26.
MugiWait, craft beer at the airport? In the post-security zone too? So you can drink while waiting to board?
Hop BroExactly, and it’s run by Choshi Cheers, the company behind Choshi Beer, with Narita Airport Ale on draft at a permanent shop for the first time.
MugiWhoa, but first permanent draft pour sounds like a big deal. Is draft really that different from cans or bottles?
Hop BroPretty different. Straight from the keg, the aroma opens up and the mouthfeel feels livelier, which is great for an ale-style beer.
MugiThere it is, the jargon alarm. What is an ale in normal-person language?
Hop BroFair question. Ale is a beer family made with top fermentation, and in simple terms it often means flavor-forward, aromatic beer. I almost launched into esters there.
MugiThank you for showing restraint. A pre-flight tasting session with local beer actually sounds amazing.
Hop BroThat’s the point. Besides Narita Airport Ale, they’ll also have craft beer from Chiba, so the airport becomes a quick gateway to the local scene.
MugiAnd Choshi Beer is all about beer that goes with local fish, right? That is such a regional food pairing flex.
Hop BroExactly, and that’s why this matters. At a travel hub like Narita, Choshi’s beer reaches outward to people who might never discover it otherwise.
MugiNow I want one already. Next time I’m at the airport, it’s Narita Airport Ale first and boarding second.
Choshi Cheers, the company behind Choshi Beer, announced on Instagram that NRT BEER FLIGHT CAFE will open in the post-security area of the connecting corridor on the second floor of Narita Airport Terminal 2. The café opens on June 26 at 10:30 a.m., and Narita Airport Ale, the airport's original craft beer brewed in Choshi, will be served on draft in a permanent location for the first time.
The café will also offer other craft beers, mostly from Chiba Prefecture, giving travelers a chance to sample local beer before boarding. That setup gives beer fans a quick way to experience a range of Chiba-based breweries in one place. Choshi Beer’s official site says the brewery focuses on making beer that pairs with fish from Choshi, and its products have long been rooted in the city’s food culture.
Serving the beer at the airport gives Choshi Beer a new route to reach travelers beyond its hometown. As the brewery continues preparing a new shop in the station area, this airport presence should help expand awareness of the brand among a broader audience.
