16 Taps in Kichijoji in May

Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji (1F, Atre Kichijoji East Building, Musashino City, Tokyo) announced a joint tap takeover by DD4D Brewing and NORTH ISLAND BEER. With breweries from Hokkaido and Ehime lined up at the same counter, the event will begin with early pours on May 1 and run as the main event on May 2 and 3. The post says each brewery will offer eight taps, for a total of 16, and all beers are expected to be on tap by the second day.

The Menu on April 25

The second image in the same post also showed the craft beer menu as of April 25. Featured as CRAFTROCK BREWING limited releases were "Sansho Lager" and "Sauna Beer," while the regular lineup included "Drink All Day," "Lucky 7," "Ocean Avenue," "Alternative IPA," "Dank City IPA," and "Joy Hopposites." The guest section also featured a wide range of beers, from lagers to IPAs and special barrel-aged pours, including BREWDOG BREWERY's "Hazy Jane" and "Punk IPA," Y.MARKET BREWING's "Baltoro Expedition," Oriental Brewing's "Unite," and Shiga Kogen Beer’s barrel-aged Yamabushi series.

Store Features

In addition to its station-connected location at Atre Kichijoji, the store's concept is "craft beer and bistro-style French." It is easy to stop by after shopping or work, and the appeal is that you can enjoy beer together with food paired to it. Even during events, it naturally blends into the flow of a large-scale TTO while still letting you enjoy your usual pint.
