MugiWait, 3 minutes on foot from Chiba Minato Station? That sounds way too close! It feels like you could just step out of the station and finish on the smell of beer!
Hop BroAnd this time 20 breweries are gathering, so it's an event where you can try Chiba craft beer all at once.
MugiTwenty breweries is huge, but what exactly is TAP ROOM 99? It doesn't feel like it's just a venue introduction, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: TAP ROOM 99 is the directly operated taproom of KANKIKU BREWERY. In other words, it's like the Kujukuri brewery has set up its own forward base.
MugiA forward base? What is that even supposed to mean? But it sounds powerful! So what kind of beer do they serve?
Hop BroThe post mentions the KUJUKURI OCEAN series, the can-only KB series, and even a smoothie-style lineup using sake lees, so the range is pretty broad.
MugiSake lees smoothie? That's basically the dessert department of the beer world! But KB series sounds like some kind of code name!
Hop BroKB is a can-only release, and part of its appeal is how easy it is to pick up. When you line it up with the classic Kujukuri-born series with its sea-like image, you really see how many tricks KANKIKU has up its sleeve.
MugiSo it's not just about going to see the event, it's more like going to compare Chiba's unique flavors! And if there's food made with ingredients from Chiba Prefecture too, that's incredible!
Hop BroExactly. It has the appeal of a calm taproom where you can drink at your own pace, and at the venue there's also the fun of everyone hunting for a taste of Kujukuri. If you go, one glass definitely won't be enough.
MugiYeah, just reading about it is making me thirsty! First Chiba Beer Fest 2026, then I want to head to TAP ROOM 99 and drink properly at a relaxed pace!
