After School Brewery joins IBREW Shinbashi’s four-day school-themed event
After School Brewery will join IBREW SHINBASHI’s "Daiichi Shinbashi Gakko no Natsu Yasumi" from August 13 to 16. The event brings together school-repurposed breweries from across Japan, with Kikuchi and Andy also scheduled to appear on the evening of August 14.
Hop BroMugi, from August 13 to 16, IBREW SHINBASHI is hosting First Shinbashi School Summer Break. After School Brewery is joining the event, and the whole school-themed setup sounds packed with energy.
MugiWhat! Six closed-school breweries? That sounds like a school festival that suddenly leveled up into a craft beer party!
Hop BroYep. After School Brewery uses a former junior high staff room, Brasserie Knot a former elementary school gym, and Falo Brewing a former school lunch room, so it's all school-site renovation brewing. The history of the buildings is part of the appeal.
MugiWhoa, but saying you can taste the backstory is such a poet-level explanation that my brain just stood up for morning assembly!
Hop BroBasically, the memory of each place spills into the brewery's character. Primary Barrels, Open Air Brewing, and Sankaku Beer Works are coming too, so you can compare six breweries all at once.
MugiOkay, I'm in. So are the beer names and styles out yet? I want to do my IPA homework in advance!
Hop BroNot yet, according to the article. But that kind of day-of suspense is part of the fun, and honestly, even standing in front of the taps deciding starts to feel delicious.
Hop BroThere'll also be limited food inspired by nostalgic school lunches, so you can go full food pairing with the beers. That's basically homeroom for your stomach.
MugiWait, food pairing? What's that? Why did this suddenly sound like a classroom term for being extra hungry?
Hop BroIt just means matching food and beer so both taste better together. And on Friday night, August 14, Principal Kikuchi and Andy are scheduled to stop by, so you get the live atmosphere too.
MugiOkay, now I really want to go. Even if the lineup isn't announced yet, cheers in Shinbashi while discovering all six brewery personalities sounds way too fun!
Hop BroExactly. For four days, After School Brewery is bringing its Ikejiri-Ohashi school-world vibe straight to Shinbashi, and that's not to be missed. I'm already picturing the first pour.
After School Brewery, based in Ikejiri-Ohashi, Setagaya, will take part in the IBREW SHINBASHI event "Daiichi Shinbashi Gakko no Natsu Yasumi" from August 13 to 16. In the post, the brewery describes the gathering as a lineup of craft beers from breweries created through school renovation projects, bringing a school-themed four-day event to Shinbashi.
The participating breweries are After School Brewery (Tokyo, former middle school staff room), Brasserie Knot (Hokkaido, former elementary school gym), Falo Brewing (Miyagi, former middle school cafeteria), Primary Barrels (Kyoto, former principal's office), Open Air Brewing (Hyogo, former cafeteria), and Sankaku Beer Works (Kagoshima, former elementary school tech room). Together, they offer a cross-section of school-repurposed brewing spaces and the beers they produce.
The event will also feature limited food inspired by school lunches, designed to pair with the beers. According to the post, Kikuchi, the 'principal' of After School Brewery, and Andy, head of the brewing team, are expected to appear at IBREW Shinbashi on the evening of Friday, August 14.
For beer fans interested in both the liquid and the story behind it, this is a compact chance to experience several school-themed breweries in one place.
