Hop BroIkejiri-Ohashi’s After School Brewery is doing something interesting for PODCAST EXPO 2026. For two days, May 9 and 10, you can even enjoy a live viewing of EXPO TV inside the venue.
MugiWait, beer while watching podcasts!? An event venue in a brewery is kind of genius, isn’t it!
Hop BroAnd since the venue is the former staff room at HOME/WORK VILLAGE, it still has a bit of that school-like atmosphere, so you can relax in a space that feels like an extension of everyday life.
MugiThe former staff room... it feels like you might get scolded by a teacher, but is it really okay to drink beer there?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. This time it’s in a free-access area, and from 10:00 to 19:00 it’s easy to drop by. It’s perfect for watching the program and taking a little break.
MugiI see! So what can you drink? It said two kinds from Nara Brewing, right!
Hop BroExactly, it’s a two-beer lineup: Function and KABEL. Function is tied to PODCAST EXPO, and KABEL is presented as a beer themed around reading.
MugiA reading-themed beer... wait, does that mean I can get smarter if I drink it while reading? I’m curious about KABEL’s world!
Hop BroWhether it makes you smarter is another question, but at the very least it should get people talking. You use your ears with podcasts, your tongue with beer, and the conversation naturally expands. That’s the good thing about this project.
MugiOkay, I’m definitely going! If I can enjoy the program while having a break-time drink, that sounds perfect.
Hop BroYeah, it’ll appeal to people who love brewery hopping, and it’s easy for first-timers to get into too. On May 9 and 10, let’s go enjoy the program and the beer together.
Two Days to Enjoy PODCAST EXPO and Craft Beer at the Same Time

Over the two days of Saturday, May 9, and Sunday, May 10, EXPO TV live viewing will be held on in-store monitors, creating a setup where visitors can experience the atmosphere of the event right inside the brewery.
The highlight this time is the craft beer being served at the venue. In the post, two beers are announced in collaboration with PODCAST EXPO 2026: Nara Brewing’s "Function" and "KABEL," a beer themed around reading. Both are part of a lineup meant to be enjoyed as a drink during the event break.

After School Brewery is a brewery created in the former staff room at HOME/WORK VILLAGE. Its defining feature is that visitors can enjoy event viewing and beer in the same place, within a calm space that feels like an extension of everyday life. This time, the event is being held in a free-access area, and the hours from 10:00 to 19:00 make it easy to stop by.
Conversations are born through podcasts, and beer accompanies them. This is the kind of event where that pairing feels natural, and it should be appealing not only to people who enjoy brewery hopping, but also to anyone who has become interested in craft beer through podcasts.
