BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA to Pour HOLA for 3rd Anniversary on Aug. 23
BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA, a beer pub in Kamakura's Onarimachi area, will host its 3rd anniversary party and a PASSIFIC BREWING tap takeover on Sunday, August 23. The anniversary beer is HOLA, a Mexican Lager made with sudachi, and a homemade sudachi sausage will be served as a limited food item.
Hop BroKamakura just gave us a reason to go out. BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA is throwing a third anniversary party on August 23, tapping its anniversary beer HOLA and adding a PASSIFIC BREWING tap takeover on top of that.
MugiWhat! That's full-on celebration mode already! The anniversary sounds fun by itself, but does a tap takeover mean the whole bar turns into a beer playground?
Hop BroPretty much. The main beer, HOLA, is a Mexican Lager made with masa as an adjunct, plus sudachi to give it a lime-like bright finish.
MugiHold on, masa as an adjunct? What does that even mean? Did a taco just jump into my beer?
Hop BroMasa is corn flour, and an adjunct just means an extra ingredient beyond malt. In normal-person terms, it adds a light corn character and keeps the beer easy to drink in hot weather.
MugiOoh, and with sudachi too, that sounds like a summer-ready pint. If it's ice cold, I might never stop drinking.
Hop BroIt gets better. The limited food special is a house-made sudachi sausage, so the citrus note carries from the beer straight into the food.
MugiThat sounds amazing! But wow, that pairing talk was extremely bar-manager of you. So basically beer plus food makes the "whoa, that's good" feeling bigger?
Hop BroExactly. BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA is a beer pub in Onari-cho, walkable from Kamakura Station, so it's perfect for casual food-and-beer drinking without feeling stuffy.
MugiAnd with the PASSIFIC BREWING tap takeover too, this is one of those too many good taps situations, right? I need to show up hungry.
Hop BroExactly, and with HOLA as the anniversary centerpiece plus more PASSIFIC pours around it, I'm already craving that first sip.
MugiSame here! I want to order HOLA and sausage first, clink glasses, and say, "Yep, this is what summer in Kamakura tastes like."
BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA, a beer pub in Kamakura's Onarimachi area, will hold its 3rd anniversary party and a PASSIFIC BREWING tap takeover on Sunday, August 23. In its Instagram post, the bar says the anniversary beer brewed in early July will be poured on the day, and the beer is named "HOLA."
HOLA is a Mexican Lager made with masa, the corn flour also used for tacos, and finished with sudachi for a lime-like brightness. The beer is designed to stay refreshing in the summer heat while still working well with food, which makes it a fitting choice for a beer-and-food-focused anniversary event.
The limited food is a homemade sudachi sausage. Because the sausage and the beer share the same citrus direction, the pairing should feel intentional rather than flashy. That matches BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA's style as a beer pub where drinks and dishes are meant to be enjoyed together.
With PASSIFIC BREWING on tap and HOLA at the center, the August 23 event should offer a clear snapshot of what the bar does best: straightforward beer, thoughtful food, and a setting that welcomes both locals and visitors stopping by Kamakura.
