HOP MAN in Chigasaki to hold 16th anniversary fair from July 24 with two commemorative beers
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will celebrate its 16th anniversary with a six-day fair running from July 24 to July 31. Two commemorative beers are planned: one from Ushitora Brewery and one from Noboribetsu Ji-Beer KIDENSSETSU.
Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki is throwing a 16th anniversary festival. It runs across six event days from July 24 to 31, with two special beers leading the celebration.
MugiWait, only six event days? So it is not happening every day? I do not want to rush over there and end up sadly sitting outside.
Hop BroThat part matters. It is on July 24-26 and July 29-31, basically three days, break, three days. July 23, 27, and 28 are closed, so timing is everything.
MugiOoh, then tell me about the two anniversary beers. Those are the real stars, right?
Hop BroFirst is Ushitora Brewery's Kawachi Bankan Session IPA, and the other is a Pale Ale from Noboribetsu Ji-Beer Oni Densetsu. One sounds bright and citrusy, the other is a classic that should work with food.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds like a beer for business meetings. Am I supposed to bring a notebook?
Hop BroNot quite. It means lower alcohol, easy pace: you get IPA character in a more drinkable frame. With kawachi bankan, expect citrus nuance, while pale ale is gentler and easy to pair.
MugiI was ready for multiple rounds, then I saw the cash-on-delivery system. And the counter is standing only? This place has serious gym-class energy.
Hop BroExactly. You pay each time, PayPay works, cash is appreciated, and standing-only counter seats mean you should travel light. No table reservations, and point cards are not valid either.
MugiThe rules are festive too! Add anniversary T-shirts and gifts, and suddenly I need a game plan, not just thirst.
Hop BroThat everyday, sports-club vibe is part of HOP MAN's charm. For the anniversary, the ideal side-by-side tasting has to be session IPA first, pale ale second.
MugiThen it is settled. I want a first toast in Chigasaki, followed immediately by a second beer and absolutely no interest in going home.
