Hinomoto Brewing to Pour Cocoa Husk Fruit Sour Ale at Sugamo Kaiwai 2026
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand will join Sugamo Kaiwai 2026, a free local market taking place on October 25, 2026. Alongside craft beer, the brewpub will serve a cocoa husk fruit sour ale made in collaboration with LoDYc chocolate.
Hop BroSugamo is about to have a seriously fun day! Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand will pop up at Sugamo Kaiwai 2026 on October 25.
MugiWhat, craft beer in Sugamo!? A community-focused market already makes me picture snacks everywhere—and now I’m hungry!
Hop BroIt’s at Cafe Port Glasgow inside RyozanPark Lounge, from noon to 7 p.m. Best part: free admission, and kids can join too.
MugiOooh! But I need to know about the LoDYc chocolate collaboration: cacao-husk fruit sour ale! That name sounds like delicious science class.
Hop BroCacao husk is the shell left from processing cacao. It can lend beer cacao-derived nuances, you know.
MugiWait, we drink the shell!? This isn’t like chewing a chocolate wrapper, right? What is cacao husk?
Hop BroNo wrappers involved—promise! It can bring gentle roastiness and bitterness, while the star remains fruit-driven tartness. It should feel lighter than chocolate itself.
MugiSo, fruity tart beer with a hint of cacao! Will my palate keep up with all that information? Still, it definitely sounds like a one-of-a-kind pour!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is impressive: tuna katsu burgers, okonomiyaki, marinated fried chicken, and baked sweets. I want to explore great beer pairings with those fried dishes.
MugiThere’ll be music and workshops too, plus a Sugamo and Nakasendo walk-and-talk at 4 p.m. Before we discover the neighborhood, I want a toast!
Hop BroExactly! Let’s head to Sugamo on October 25 for Hinomoto’s sour ale and local food, and taste all of Sugamo.
MugiDone! I’ll hunt for that cacao note while aiming for a tuna katsu burger. Toast preparation complete—I want a beer now!
