Frühlings Fest to Be Held at Gakudai SANITY, Bringing Together Three Breweries Including Godspeed
The craft beer specialty shop "SANITY Gakudai" will host the event "SANITY Gakudai Frühlings Fest" on May 2, 2026. Three breweries will take part: Godspeed, Yorocco Beer, and Ukyoteng Brewing, making it a day that looks set to brighten the middle of Golden Week.
Hop BroAt SANITY in Gakudai, Frühlings Fest will be held on May 2, 2026. In the middle of Golden Week, it really feels like the perfect place for beer lovers to casually drop by and gather.
MugiWait, there’s an event in Gakudai? And it goes until midnight too, so I might end up staying way too long...!
Hop BroIt’s a three-brewery lineup, with Godspeed Brewery, Yorocco Beer, and Ukyoteng Brewing. And the fact that Godspeed is coming all the way from Toronto, Canada, is already pretty exciting.
MugiWhat? What kind of brewery is Godspeed? It sounds fast just from the name, but is it a brewery that runs here?
Hop BroNot quite running, but Czech and German traditions are at the core. In other words, instead of throwing around flashy aromas, they focus on carefully showing off the crispness of lager and the richness of malt.
MugiOh, I see! Then what about Yorocco Beer? It says they’re a locally rooted brewery, so they must really love their neighborhood!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a brewery with the feel of Kamakura in it. And they even mention their flagship Sky Walker IPA, which is interesting because it was inspired by the name of Godspeed’s Luke.
MugiWow, I love that there’s a story behind the name! Then what about Ukyoteng Brewing? They’re said to be good at lager and Belgian styles, which is such a wide range!
Hop BroRight, Ukyoteng Brewing in Suwa, Nagano, has those two pillars going strong. You can enjoy the clean, drinkable finish of lager and the character of Belgian styles, so tasting them side by side should really highlight how different they are.
MugiWait, did you just say the drinkability of lager? So basically that means you can just keep gulping it down, right?
Hop BroBasically, yes! And SANITY is only a 5-second walk from the west exit of the station, and they even offer draft beer sold by volume. If you bring a growler, you can ask about it, so being able to keep drinking your favorite beer at home is a real plus.
MugiThat’s almost unfair...! If the brewery owners are coming too, then you can drink while hearing the stories behind the beer, right? Just hearing about it is already making my throat feel happier!
Hop BroYeah, this is basically a spring beer outing. On May 2, in Gakudai, you taste and compare the personalities of three breweries, and by the end both of us will be saying, "Should we have one more?"
Golden Week Event at SANITY Gakudai
At the craft beer specialty shop "SANITY Gakudai" in Meguro Ward, Tokyo, "SANITY Gakudai Frühlings Fest" will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. This time’s theme is the German festival celebrating the arrival of spring, the "Frühlingsfest." Timed to coincide with Golden Week, the event will feature three breweries.
The participating breweries are Godspeed Brewery from Toronto, Canada; Yorocco Beer from Kamakura, Kanagawa; and Ukyoteng Brewing from Suwa, Nagano. The post introduces Godspeed as a brewery rooted in traditional Czech and German styles, Yorocco Beer as a locally grounded brewery, and Ukyoteng Brewing as a brewery that excels at lagers and Belgian-style beers.
Among the beers available, there is mention of Yorocco Beer’s flagship IPA, Sky Walker IPA. According to the post, this beer was inspired by the name of Mr. Luke from Godspeed. On the day of the event, the lineup is expected to feature the unique character of each brewery, including Godspeed beers that have just arrived from Canada.
SANITY is a beer pub just a 5-second walk from the west exit of Gakudai Station. It also offers draft beer sales by volume, and if you bring a dedicated container such as a growler, you can consult with them, which makes it especially convenient. In addition, the post says the owners of each brewery are also scheduled to attend, so it should be a place where you can enjoy not just the beer but also the stories behind it.
