Goto Brewing to Host a Joint Beer Run Event with Magic Hour Kyodo in Kyodo
Goto Brewing in Kyodo, Setagaya Ward, announced on Instagram the "Magic Hour Kyodo Beer Run Event," a participatory plan that combines an approximately 3 to 4 km run with toasts at both shops, scheduled for Sunday, May 17.
Hop BroSomething interesting is happening in Kyodo: a joint beer run event is getting underway. It’s an event put together by Goto Brewing and Magic Hour Kyodo, and the idea is to run first, then toast with beer.
MugiWait, drink after running!? A run before beer thing sounds like something even I, with zero stamina, can join?
Hop BroThat’s the point. It’s designed as a relaxed 3 to 4 km run. It’s not for hardcore runners, but more like enjoying a pleasant loop around the neighborhood before having a drink.
MugiOhhh! But what kind of place is Goto Brewing? When I hear standing beer bar, it sounds a little serious.
Hop BroGoto Brewing is a house-brewery in Kyodo, Setagaya Ward. It’s run by a married couple who graduated from Tokyo University of Agriculture, and their strength is that you can enjoy freshly brewed beer right there.
MugiFreshly brewed sounds unfair...! By the way, what does Kyodo Ale mean? Just from the name, it sounds strong!
Hop BroAle is broadly a beer style that tends to bring out aroma, and it’s the kind of style that works well as a signature flagship beer. Goto Brewing also does seasonal limited releases, so it’s fun that it has a different face every time you visit.
MugiWhat is that, a reason to keep going back keeps piling up! And this time it’s 1,000 yen to participate, with beer included?
Hop BroExactly, and the perks are generous: you get two toast beers in total. It starts at 15:00, with toasts at Goto Brewing at 15:45 and at Magic Hour Kyodo at 16:00. It’s basically a dream route for beer lovers.
MugiAnd it’s just a three-minute walk from Kyodo Station too, which is perfect for getting there before the run and getting home after drinking! I definitely need to wear something I can move in.
Hop BroYeah, events like this that are rooted in the local community are great. Because it becomes time to enjoy the whole neighborhood, you get to savor the atmosphere of Kyodo and the beer together.
MugiJust imagining it makes my throat go dry! Maybe this is something I’d go for not for the running, but for the well-earned beer after the run!
