Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho is set to host a Miyagi-prefecture double brewery takeover. The event starts at 12:00 on June 20 and brings in ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS and Kibo no Oka Brewery, with seven beers from each brewery. It is a focused lineup for drinkers who want to compare styles side by side.

ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS


- Makikaze Ale
- Makikaze Wheat
- Shiokaze Lager
- DANK YOU VERY MUCH (TAPROOM anniversary IPA)
- CROSS PORT SOUR Shikwasa (a collaboration cider-style beer with AGARIHAMABREWEY in Okinawa)
- Jasmine Tea IPA
- Galaxy IPA

From a standard ale and lager to an anniversary IPA, a shikwasa sour, a jasmine tea IPA, and an IPA brewed with Miyagi-grown rice and Galaxy hops, this lineup shows a wide range of aroma, bitterness, and acidity.

Kibo no Oka Brewery


- Knuckle 167A (American Pale Ale)
- The Spencer (West Coast IPA)
- Couret (Yuzu Saison)
- Lever Lever Lever (Porter)
- Make Over (Sake-kasu Hazy IPA)
- Harunorekka (Barrel-Aged Sour)
- Mexican Lager (Mexican Lager)

This side is equally varied, covering American Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, Yuzu Saison, Porter, sake-kasu Hazy IPA, barrel-aged sour beer, and Mexican lager. It is the kind of lineup that works both for serious tasting and for pairing with food over a longer session.

The venue itself is a beer pub in Jimbocho, an area known for easy access and a relaxed drinking atmosphere. The post also mentions a prize-based rock-paper-scissors contest, which adds a small event feel to the day. For beer fans, it should be a straightforward chance to experience two Miyagi breweries in one place, alongside food and a comfortable pub setting.
