Craft Beer Market Atré Kichijoji (1F, Atré Kichijoji, 1-1-24 Kichijoji Minamimachi, Musashino City, Tokyo) announced the tapping of “SNOW MONKEY IPA2026!” in an Instagram post. The text includes lines such as “Series No. 10, No. 1,020!”, “a variety of casks,” and “all the long-awaited barrels have been tapped,” making it hard for Shiga Kogen Beer fans to ignore.

The post also makes clear that it is the final day of the event and that the beer will be served until it runs out. If you want to catch the fast-moving draft, arriving early is the safer bet. It is the kind of day that puts the real appeal of craft beer front and center: enjoying it at exactly the moment the barrel is in great condition.

The shop is located on the 1F of Atré Kichijoji, directly connected to the station, making it an easy stop on the way home from shopping or work. While it is a casual beer pub where you can drop in for a single drink, the post also advertises course meals with all-you-can-drink included (advance reservation required), so it can also handle group visits. Another nice point is the lineup of dishes such as an appetizer assortment, grilled pork fillet, and today's pasta, making it easy to build a proper meal around the beer.

The main attraction this time is, of course, SNOW MONKEY IPA2026. With various casks on offer as well, it becomes a lineup that makes it easy to compare the character of each pour from the same brewery. For anyone in the Kichijoji area who wants to chase a “one barrel only” beer while it is still available, this is a post worth checking.
