Yatsugatake Brewery to Hold a Three-Day TTO at Tsugaru Beer from June 19
Yatsugatake Brewery will host a tap takeover at Tsugaru Beer from June 19 to 21. The lineup includes core beers, limited releases, and rare kegs not often poured at events, with brewery head Miyashita Tentsu also set to join.
Hop BroToday's hot topic is the Yatsugatake Touchdown TTO: from June 19 to 21, Yatsugatake Brewery is rolling into Tsugaru Bakushu in Fukushima.
MugiWait! The Tsugaru Bakushu taps turn into Yatsugatake world for three days? Are tiny mountains coming out of the faucets?
Hop BroExactly, it's a tap takeover. Along with the core Yatsugatake Touchdown beers, they're pouring limited releases too, and that's the big draw.
MugiWhoa! But what's a rare keg? Does it suddenly sparkle into existence like a secret game character?
Hop BroPretty much. Here, a special draft keg means a beer they normally don't bring out at regular events.
MugiWhat! And Yatsugatake Brewery is lager-focused, right? So what actually makes a lager different?
Hop BroA lager is a clean, crisp style fermented slowly at low temperatures, so it shows off the natural South Yatsugatake water and the malt richness really well.
MugiOhhh! Beer made with Kiyosato highland water already sounds delicious. My brain just got hit by a fresh mountain breeze.
Hop BroAnd Brewmaster 102 is scheduled to be there too. Pour times start at 3 p.m. on the 19th, 11 a.m. on the 20th, and run until 7 p.m. on the 21st, while the venue stays open from 2 to 10 p.m. every day.
MugiThe word strategy already makes this feel like a field trip! And if they have 102 fried chicken too, this event is clearly a delicious trap.
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it: the pairing setup is solid. I'd want to open with the flagship lager, then move on to the limited pours and rare kegs.
MugiThen it's settled! I'm chasing limited beer and karaage to Tsugaru Bakushu, and I absolutely want to toast with Yatsugatake Touchdown!
Yatsugatake Brewery will hold Yatsugatake Touchdown TTO at Tsugaru Beer from Friday, June 19 through Sunday, June 21. The pouring schedule is 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on June 19, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on June 20, and 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on June 21. Tsugaru Beer will be open from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. throughout the three days.
According to the post, the event will feature core beers as well as limited releases, plus rare kegs that are not usually poured at events. Brewery head Miyashita, known as "102" or "Tentsu", is also scheduled to appear. Food service will include a Tsugaru Beer version of the 102 fried chicken, making the event a straightforward beer-and-food pairing session built around tap takeover format.
Yatsugatake Brewery is based in Kiyosato, Hokuto City, Yamanashi. On its official site, the brewery describes its approach as using the clear natural water of the Yatsugatake foothills at an elevation of 1,230 meters, with a focus on bringing out the richness and umami of malt. Founded in 1997, the brewery has long centered its work on the Touchdown brand, especially its lager tradition. This TTO gives drinkers in Fukushima a chance to experience that malt-forward style at the source of the pour.
