PEPOWN to host "Hello! LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI!" on Aug. 29-30
PEPOWN in Chigasaki will host "Hello! LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI!" on August 29-30, featuring LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI from Bashamichi, Yokohama. It is the sixth round of the monthly "Hello! Project," which focuses on one brewery at a time.
Hop BroPEPOWN in Chigasaki is hosting Hello! LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI! on August 29 and 30, and it looks like a strong sixth entry in the Hello! project.
MugiWait, what? A full tap takeover kind of thing? The name already sounds like a party!
Hop BroExactly. The featured brewery is LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI from Bashamichi in Yokohama, and the idea is to fill PEPOWN's taps with their beer.
MugiWhat is that! When you say tap takeover, I picture the draft lines staging a rebellion!
Hop BroIt just means one brewery takes over the draft lineup. The specific beer names aren't announced yet, but AJB is known for style-free brewing, so the range should be pretty wide.
MugiOhhh! But what does AJB style mean? You dropped that acronym like I'm supposed to be in the club already!
Hop BroAJB stands for Anglo-Japanese Brewing Company, founded in Nozawa Onsen in 2014. LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI is their Yokohama base, opened in 2022 inside KITANAKA BRICK&WHITE as an urban brewpub.
MugiNo way! You can drink while looking at the brewhouse? That is dangerously close to a beer theme park!
Hop BroAnd brewer Sora is scheduled to be there, which is the real hook. Even without the beer list, you get a story per pint when the person who made it is right there.
MugiThat's unfair! The unannounced beer list somehow makes me more curious, and now I want to see the taps the second I walk in!
Hop BroPEPOWN already has that local Chigasaki atmosphere where you can really focus on craft beer, so bringing in a Yokohama brewery feels perfect. It's basically two days of deep dive drinking.
MugiThen it's settled. On August 29 and 30, this is absolutely not a one-pint night. I want the beers and the brewer talk!
Event Overview
PEPOWN, located at 1-6-9 Kyoei, Chigasaki, Kanagawa, announced a two-day event, "Hello! LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI!" on August 29 and 30. The concept is part of the venue's monthly "Hello! Project," now in its sixth edition, where one brewery takes over the taps and guests can dig into its beers in depth.
Featured Brewery
This time, the spotlight is on LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI in Bashamichi, Yokohama. The post explains that it is a new base opened in 2022 by Anglo-Japanese Brewing Company (AJB), which started in Nozawa Onsen in 2014. The brewery sits inside KITANAKA BRICK & WHITE, a restored historic building, and operates as a brewpub where you can drink while looking at the brewing equipment.
What to Drink
The post does not name individual beer labels, but the taps will be filled with LIBUSHI BASHAMICHI beers. AJB is described as making beers without being bound to a single style, so the lineup should lean broad rather than predictable. The post also notes that brewer Sora is expected to visit, adding a direct connection between the beer and the people behind it.
PEPOWN's local Chigasaki setting makes it a good fit for this kind of focused brewery showcase. For beer fans, the appeal is not only the beer itself, but also the chance to hear the story behind the brewery while tasting it in a relaxed neighborhood spot.
