OGA BREWING Company brings back its summer Wanko Beer challenge in Mitaka
OGA BREWING Company announced on Instagram that its limited-time Wanko Beer challenge is back. The 45-minute session offers all-you-can-drink pours of Green Star and Mitaka ALT, with drinkers aiming to beat a posted record of more than 16 glasses.
Hop BroMitaka has something fun back on the calendar: OGA BREWING COMPANY is bringing back its summer limited event, Wanko Beer.
MugiWait, Wanko Beer makes me picture a Shiba Inu running around with a pint glass!
Hop BroThankfully it's less chaotic than that. It's a 45-minute all-you-can-drink challenge with Ryokuboshi and Mitaka ALT.
MugiNo way! Ryokuboshi and Mitaka ALT already sound powerful. Mitaka ALT sounds like a special attack!
Hop BroHere's the nerdy part: Mitaka ALT is an alt-style top-fermented ale, and alongside Ryokuboshi it really shows off OGA's core lineup.
MugiHold on, top-fermented ale suddenly sounds like chemistry class!
Hop BroSimple version: Mitaka ALT has toasty malt character with a crisp finish, a German-style ale, while Ryokuboshi feels like the perfect gateway beer.
MugiAnd the record is more than 16 glasses? That's not a stomach, that's a magical storage system!
Hop BroThe challenge is fun, but pacing matters. On weekends they also serve curry and quiche, so you can stay, eat, and enjoy the whole thing.
MugiI love that OGA BREWING COMPANY calls itself Mitaka's craft beer pioneer. Names like Mitaka Pale Ale and Kichijoji IPA make it feel so local.
Hop BroUseful logistics too: they're closed on Tuesdays, open 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
MugiAt this point I already want to head to Mitaka this weekend and order the first glass right away!
Hop BroThen it's settled. We'll start with Ryokuboshi for a toast to Mitaka, and if we still have room, take on Wanko Beer.
OGA BREWING Company in Mitaka, Tokyo, has announced the return of its limited-time Wanko Beer event on Instagram. The challenge offers 45 minutes of all-you-can-drink pours featuring Green Star and Mitaka ALT.
- 45 minutes of unlimited beer service with Green Star and Mitaka ALT
- The posted benchmark is more than 16 glasses
- Weekend-only curry and quiche are also available
- Opening hours are Monday to Friday 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, with Tuesdays closed
On its official website, OGA BREWING describes itself as a brewery rooted in Mitaka, and its lineup reflects that local identity with beers such as Mitaka Pale Ale, Mitaka Wheat Ale, Kichijoji IPA, and the Chuo Line-inspired GO WEST series. The Wanko Beer format fits that approach well: it turns familiar house beers into a structured tasting challenge rather than a simple drinking session.
The food pairing is part of the draw too. With curry and quiche available on weekends, the brewery offers an easy way to spend time with beer, food, and a local atmosphere in the same space.
