Born in the Futako-Tamagawa neighborhood of Setagaya, Futako Beer operates a brewpub located about five minutes on foot from Futako-Tamagawa Station. Visitors can enjoy freshly brewed beer alongside food, seasonal beers made with fruit grown in Setagaya, and guest beers from breweries around Japan.
One of the brewery’s signature beers is FUTAKO ALE, which has been brewed since the brewery’s early days. Styled after an English pale ale, it has a distinctive red-orange color and combines caramel malt sweetness with a grapefruit-like citrus hop aroma. The beer has an ABV of 5% and an IBU of 20, offering a balanced profile suited to pairing with food.
Futako Beer also runs the Setagaya Hop Project, an initiative that encourages local residents to grow hops and connect through locally brewed beer. Its approach reflects the brewery’s focus on creating beers that belong to the everyday life of the neighborhood. Further information about the MARKET venue, schedule, and products will be announced through the brewery’s official social media channels.
