Goto Brewing Announces Three Event Appearances in May Across Kyodo, Setagaya, and Shimokitazawa
Goto Brewing, the brewpub in Kyodo, Setagaya Ward, announced on Instagram that it will take part in three events in the latter half of May. It will set up booths at a Kyodo beer run, a food event at Baji Koen, and a beer festival in Shimokitazawa, and will also serve seasonal limited beers such as Amber IPA.
Hop BroGoto Brewing in Kyodo has announced three straight event appearances in the latter half of May. They've got a beer run, a food event, and even a beer festival in Shimokitazawa, so there's a lot going on.
MugiWait, three events!? And a beer run means you run first and drink afterward, right? That sounds like your stamina and your beer cravings are being tested at the same time!
Hop BroExactly. First is the 5/17 beer run. It's a collaboration with Magic Hour Kyodo, and anyone who wants to join has to apply by DM. A drink after running is basically a reward disguised as hydration.
MugiWhat! It's a reward drink, but they make you exercise first!? And this kind of event exists in Kyodo? The whole neighborhood sounds way too healthy!
Hop BroBut what's very Goto Brewing about it is that they keep Kyodo Ale at the core. They started as a beer bar in 2016, got their brewing license in 2017, and moved into in-house brewing. It's a brewpub from Kyodo.
MugiOhhh! They're brewed by a husband-and-wife team. Hearing they graduated from Tokyo University of Agriculture makes it feel instantly trustworthy, and suddenly beer starts looking like a concentrated form of intelligence!
Hop BroNext is the 5/23-24 Meat Edition of `SETAGAYA LIFE SELECTION`. It's at Baji Koen Keyaki Plaza, and since they're appearing from the Setagaya souvenir booth, it has a very local feel too.
MugiJust the name Meat Edition makes me hungry! And the beer there is Amber IPA? That's already guaranteed to be good, right? From the name alone it sounds brown, toasty, and like it could beat the meat!
Hop BroThat's right. They're also planning to offer the wood-scented amber ale `tomarigi oak amber ale` and even the ginger-forward `Ginger Ale Beer`. Amber tends to bring out malt richness, while IPA emphasizes hop bitterness, so this time there's a nice balance in between.
MugiSo it's kind of a world between malt and hops. But what would the wood aroma taste like? I can only imagine beer lining up in a forest!
Hop BroAnd finally, 5/30-31 in Shimokitazawa: `BONUS TRACK BEER FES 2026`. The details come later, but I like how they're taking beer born in Kyodo and bringing it out across the city.
MugiNice! A glass born in Kyodo traveling all over Setagaya makes me want to go out and drink so badly! This is the kind of thing that makes me want to hop from event to event and taste every difference!
Goto Brewing, a brewpub in Kyodo, Setagaya Ward, is known as a craft beer shop run by a couple who graduated from Tokyo University of Agriculture. They opened a beer bar in 2016, obtained a brewing license in 2017, and began brewing their own beer in-house. Centered on their standard `Kyodo Ale`, they continue to brew seasonal limited-edition beers as well.
