Niigata’s 04&Beer launches a three-day 3rd-anniversary program starting July 3
04&Beer, a beer pub in Niigata City’s Nishibori-mae-dori area, will hold its 3rd-anniversary program from July 3 to 5. July 3 is framed as a casual pre-party drinking night, while July 4 brings brewers from CAVE D'OCCI BREWING and Swanlake Beer for a collaboration lager pour.
Hop Bro04&Beer in Niigata is throwing a third anniversary party from July 3 to July 5, and the relaxed back-alley vibe is exactly the appeal.
MugiWhat! A full three-day celebration and the big selling point is that it stays chill? How does that even work!?
Hop BroDay one, July 3, starts at 5 p.m. as a just drink day, with steak, edamame, and even bring-your-own food.
MugiNo way, BYO food welcome makes this sound less like an event and more like the best house party ever!
Hop BroThe main attraction is July 4 at 3 p.m., when the head brewers from CAVE D'OCCI BREWING and Swanlake Beer show up with a first collab lager whose actual name isn't listed in the article.
MugiHead brewer sounds less like a job title and more like the final boss of fermentation. What do they actually do?
Hop BroBasically, that's the brewer leading recipe and production. And a collab brew means they make it together, so this is really a makers' crossover in a glass.
MugiWait, CAVE D'OCCI's first lager ever is already a big deal, and they teamed up with Swanlake for it too!?
Hop BroExactly. Lager is a style fermented slowly at lower temperatures, which usually gives you a clean crisp finish instead of a loud, flashy punch.
MugiOhhh, so it's the kind of beer where the story tastes better once you know who made it!
Hop BroThat is why 04&Beer fits this so well: it's casual, close-up, and never stiff, so this lager is already my first pour if I walk in.
MugiSteak on July 3, the lager on July 4, and that cozy pub energy all weekend? I'm at I need a pint now level.
04&Beer, a beer pub at 8-bancho, Nishibori-mae-dori in Niigata City, will celebrate its third anniversary with a three-day program from Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5. Tucked away in the Furumachi area, the bar is set up for relaxed craft beer drinking rather than a formal event atmosphere.
On Friday, July 3, the venue opens from 5:00 p.m. for what the owner describes as a casual pre-party: simply a night to drink. Steak and edamame will be available, and guests are also welcome to bring their own food. It is the kind of low-key setup that fits a neighborhood beer pub well.
The main beer-focused highlight comes on Saturday, July 4 at 3:00 p.m., when head brewers from CAVE D'OCCI BREWING and Swanlake Beer are scheduled to appear. The bar will pour a collaboration lager, described as CAVE D'OCCI’s first lager brewed together with Swanlake. For beer fans, it is a chance to enjoy the beer together with the people behind it.
04&Beer’s appeal lies in its easygoing style: beer first, but with enough flexibility to make the whole evening feel open and social. Across the anniversary program, the pub’s close-up, neighborhood feel should make the beer experience even more direct. For Niigata craft beer followers, it is a small but notable three-day stop.
