Hop BroMitaka is heating up now, because OGA BREWING COMPANY is holding a graduation beer event on Thursday, March 26 and Sunday, March 29!
MugiWhoa! OGA is that brewery in the residential neighborhood, right? The one 10 minutes on foot from Mitaka Station South Exit!
Hop BroExactly. And for spring they even brought out a Sakura Label Pale Ale. It’s perfect for the hanami mood.
MugiOhhh! But what makes a pale ale different? And what was that dry hop thing you mentioned earlier?!
Hop BroDry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to bring out the aroma, so basically it’s a more-aroma production method. It makes it less bitter and more fragrant.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And the graduation beer is the commemorative brew made by An, Aria, and Liam, right?
Hop BroThat’s right. A beer for a milestone feels really special. On the event days, it’ll be regular business, with last orders at 7:15 p.m. for food and 7:30 p.m. for drinks.
MugiGot it! But I’m bad with different schedules by day, so can I just remember that on March 23 the last order is 5:30 p.m.?
Hop BroThat’s exactly right. On Monday the 23rd, they’re closed for a private event starting at 6:00 p.m., so they’re closing early. They’re normally closed on Tuesdays and usually open 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and both the taproom and takeout are available.
MugiIt’s decided then! Let’s see the cherry blossoms, go to OGA, and toast with a spring beer. I’m fully in drink mode right now!
OGA BREWING COMPANY, a craft beer brewery in Mitaka, Tokyo, announced its spring business information and event plans on Instagram.
In the post, the brewery noted that the cherry blossoms at Inokashira Park have begun to bloom, and introduced its seasonal "Sakura Label Pale Ale." It is being proposed as a beer suited to the hanami season.
Also included as an important notice was that on Monday, March 23, the brewery will be closed for a private event starting at 6:00 p.m., so the last order for regular business will be at 5:30 p.m. Anyone planning to visit should keep in mind that orders will end earlier on that day only.
The main topic this time is the "OGA BREWING Graduation Beer Release Event 2026." In celebration of the graduation beers brewed by An, Aria, and Liam, who are graduating from OGA this spring, the event will be held over two days, Thursday, March 26, and Sunday, March 29. According to the post, both days will operate as normal business, with last orders at 7:15 p.m. for food and 7:30 p.m. for drinks.
On its official website, OGA BREWING presents itself as a brewery rooted in a residential area of Mitaka, and promotes the idea of "creating a place where intergenerational communication and smiles are born through beer." It is located at 4-1-16 Shimorenjaku, Mitaka-shi, Tokyo, about a 10-minute walk from the south exit of JR Mitaka Station. It is normally open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., closed on Tuesdays, and offers both taproom service and takeout.
