Otama Brewing, a microbrewery based in Sanwa Ward, Joetsu City, has announced a busy June schedule. The brewery will appear at events across Joetsu, Niigata City, and Myoko, while also hosting pop-ups at its Naoetsu taproom.
Hop BroOtama Brewing is on a real June event streak this month. This brewery from Sanwa-ku, Joetsu is working the Joetsu area while also heading into Niigata City and Myoko.
MugiWait, not just Joetsu? I need the full calendar before I accidentally book my entire month around beer.
Hop BroFirst up is June 5 and 6 at "Mafefes YOICHI" in the Umigatari aquarium parking lot. A pint with the sunset over the Sea of Japan is already doing half the work for you.
MugiWhoa, night aquarium vibes plus craft beer? That sounds dangerously good for my self-control.
Hop BroThen it gets packed. June 12 and 13 is the beer festa at Bandai Terrace in Niigata City, June 12 also hits Takada Honcho Yorumarche, June 13 goes to the Switchback Beer Garden by Nihongi Station, June 19 and 20 is the Niigata Oktoberfest popup at Aeon Niigata Nishi, and June 20 to 22 goes to the Kakizaki festival. It's basically simultaneous event mode.
MugiWhat is that, a clone brewery? Also, what exactly is a taproom popup supposed to mean?
Hop BroThe Naoetsu Taproom has its own run too. Ricca Myoko-cafe- pops in on June 20 and 21, and CHŌCHIN-ZA comes on June 28. A popup event is basically a guest shop or creator joining the space temporarily, so the taproom becomes more of a local hangout.
MugiOkay, that helps. But the article says beer names not announced yet, right? I wanted to pre-pick my favorite like a proper professional.
Hop BroYeah, the specific names aren't listed here. But Otama Brewing is a local microbrewery known for American ale focus and an easy-drinking approach.
MugiHold on, American ale suddenly sounds like a chemistry term. What does that actually taste like in normal human language?
Hop BroBasically, you get noticeable hop aroma without it turning heavy or harsh, so it goes down smoothly. That makes it an easygoing pint for local food and event drinking, and honestly now I want one too.
MugiThen I'm done for, I need a follow-the-brewery pint mission. Sunset spot, shopping street, or taproom, let's go drink Otama Brewing this June!
