Miyakoji Hop Garden Brewery Brings Back "Head to Sea" at Koriyama Shop
Hop Japan, which operates Miyakoji Hop Garden Brewery, will hold the event "Head to Sea Release PIZZA Party!!" at Hop Japan Koriyama Shop on Friday, May 22, 2026. It will be a one-night event where the beer returns and a special new pizza menu also launches.
Hop BroHere comes the Head to Sea comeback from Miyakoji Hop Garden Brewery. From 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 22, 2026, they'll be holding the "Head to Sea Release PIZZA Party!!" at Hop Japan Koriyama Shop.
MugiWhoa, a beer comeback party sounds amazing! And pizza is starting too?
Hop BroThat's right. "Head to Sea," which came out last year as brewer Murazumi's debut release, is coming back, and the launch of the special pizza menu is happening on the same day.
MugiWhat is that, the event's headliners are doing a double act! But "debut release" sounds like they really put a lot into it.
Hop BroWhat's more, what's interesting about this brewery is that it grows hops from the ground up in Green Park Miyakoji in Miyakoji, so it's an end-to-end operation from hop cultivation to brewing.
MugiWow, so they grow their own hops too. Now the beer suddenly feels kind of farm-like!
Hop BroThe aroma and bitterness of hops really do reflect the character of the field. With a philosophy of "connecting people, things, and events," Hop Japan really shapes a locally rooted beer.
MugiWhoa, that's cool... But whenever people start talking about "styles," my eyes glaze over, so if easy to drink is the focus, I'm all for it!
Hop BroLet's set the fine details of the style aside for now, and just enjoy the beer and pizza together. Since it's been a while since they've done a store event, it looks like it'll be a night to drink, eat, and reconnect.
MugiI'm already hungry! I want to toast after work and nibble pizza with Head to Sea in my hand!
