MAGIC HOUR KYODO announces DD4D collaboration beer for August 8
Tokyo craft beer bar MAGIC HOUR KYODO has unveiled a special beer brewed with Ehime-based DD4D Brewing for its second anniversary. The beer is scheduled to go on tap on August 8, and the shop owner joined the brew day in Matsuyama.
Hop BroKyodo is the place to watch right now. MAGIC HOUR KYODO in Tokyo is pouring a 2nd anniversary collab beer with DD4D BREWING from Matsuyama on August 8.
MugiWait, what! A collab for a beer bar anniversary? So we can drink it on the anniversary day itself?
Hop BroExactly. It is scheduled to go on tap that day, and the owner even joined the three-day brewing process, which is a big deal.
MugiWhat does joined the brewing even mean? Like standing in the back and politely watching like a school visit?
Hop BroWay more hands-on than that. It means being there through the actual beer-making process from turning malt into sugar to boiling and setting up fermentation.
MugiOh wow! But the article says the beer style is undisclosed, right? IPA? Sour? I am so curious I can only sleep at night!
Hop BroThat mystery is part of the fun. They said they aimed for a beer packed with both sides' character, so the reveal is being saved for opening day.
MugiI get the character part, but what kind of brewery is DD4D? Small-batch, many styles suddenly sounds like exam vocabulary!
Hop BroDD4D started as a select shop in 1998, then launched its brewery in Matsuyama in 2019. Their strength is making varied beers with a cross-genre creative mindset.
MugiOkay, that clicks! If they have already worked with fashion and film, a bar anniversary collab totally fits. I want to see the keg opening moment in Kyodo.
Hop BroSince the name and style are still secret, it makes you want to solve the puzzle with that first sip the second it hits the glass.
MugiThat settles it. On August 8, I want to toast in Kyodo and yell, 'What is this, it's so good!'
Tokyo craft beer bar MAGIC HOUR KYODO has announced a special collaboration beer brewed with DD4D Brewing in Ehime’s Matsuyama for its second anniversary. In the Instagram post, the bar says the beer is planned to go on tap on August 8, 2026, and notes that the shop owner was present during the brew day.
DD4D Brewing traces its roots back to a select shop founded in Matsuyama in 1998. The brewery itself was launched in 2019, and today it continues to operate from Matsuyama with a focus on small-batch, wide-ranging beers and cross-industry collaborations. Its work has often moved beyond beer alone, making projects with bars, apparel, film, and other fields a natural fit for the brand.
The post says the team aimed to create a beer that reflects the character of both sides. Because the brew day stretched across three days, the project appears to have been built on more than a simple label swap. The beer’s style and full release details have not been revealed yet, but the anniversary tap opening should draw attention from Tokyo drinkers following DD4D’s latest collaboration.
