Hop BroToday's topic: Tsumagoi Kogen Brewery's appearance has been announced for CBH Takasaki '26 Spring. This is one you can't miss!
MugiWhat! They're coming to the Takasaki event? Just being a 30th anniversary brewery makes me way too curious!
Hop BroThat's right. Founded in 1996 and now in its 30th year, and they've consistently stuck to ingredients from Gunma Prefecture.
MugiWow, that's serious local pride! So this time's highlight is Tsumabru HAZY, right?
Hop BroOfficially, it's the 16th release in the 30th anniversary limited series, a HAZY that really brings out citrus aroma, designed to be perfect for spring outdoor drinking.
MugiWhat is that! HAZY sounds stylish, but what does dry hopping even mean? Is it some kind of spell?
Hop BroNot a spell, haha. It's a technique where hops are added after fermentation to boost the aroma. It doesn't get too bitter, and the fragrance comes forward.
MugiI see! Then it sounds easy for me to drink too! And full-on citrus aroma? That's the best!
Hop BroThe event runs May 23 and 24 at the plaza in front of Takasaki City Hall, admission is free, but you'll need a standard reusable cup so don't forget it.
MugiThe fact that this is their third time exhibiting is hot too, and this is basically a guaranteed toast on site. I want to drink it right now!
For craft beer fans in Gunma, this is event news worth paying attention to. In the "Exhibiting Brewery Introduction" post on the official Instagram account of CRAFT BEER HOUSE takasaki, Tsumagoi Kogen Brewery Restaurant was featured.
The brewery information introduced in the post is straightforward. Tsumagoi Kogen Brewery was founded in 1996 and is now in its 30th year. It also emphasizes that it brews with a strong commitment to ingredients produced in Gunma Prefecture. The beer highlighted as the event's "must-try" was "30th Anniversary Limited 16th Release Tsumabru HAZY / Citrus Aroma." It is a fragrant pour that should pair perfectly with a spring outdoor event.
The exhibitor comment also mentioned that this will be their third time exhibiting, showing the presence that comes with continued participation. Rather than serving as a one-off topic, the fact that the brewery and the local event have built up their relationship over time is one of the points that adds depth to the local craft beer scene.
The event information for "CRAFT BEER HOUSE takasaki '26 Spring" is as follows.

According to Tsumagoi Kogen Brewery's official website, in addition to promoting itself as a microbrewery in Tsumagoi Village, Gunma Prefecture, the brewery suspended restaurant operations in autumn 2024 and announced a management policy focused on brewing and beer service. From April 2025, it resumed counter sales and draft beer service inside the restaurant. With that background in mind, this Takasaki appearance looks like a good opportunity to experience where the brewery stands now through its beer.
