Hop BroCBM in Mitsukoshimae just announced plans for its March 22 12th anniversary! It looks like they’re serving two anniversary beers from Chichibu Beer and Blue Magic.
MugiWhoa! Two anniversary beers is pretty luxurious, isn’t it? And from two breweries too? That sounds so festive!
Hop BroWhat’s more, the brewing story is interesting: they split the staff into two teams, and the Chichibu side brewed it using a traditional copper kettle.
MugiWhat? What’s different about a copper kettle? And have they already decided the beer styles?
Hop BroA copper kettle lets heat move in a softer way, so the flavor profile can become pretty distinctive. This time, the styles haven’t been announced yet, and it sounds like they’ll share updates gradually.
MugiOhh! Then it’s a wait-and-see kind of day until then. And it says the food is seasonal Japanese dishes, so now I’m hungry too!
Hop BroThey’ve got seared kinmedai sashimi, katsuo tataki, and hotaruika tempura too, so it’s fully Japanese-food pairing mode. The store’s strengths really come through.
MugiBy the way, when they say “new taps,” does that mean the kegs they’re opening that day?
Hop BroExactly! It means connecting a fresh keg. And since it’s on the first floor of COREDO Muromachi 3 with direct access from Mitsukoshimae Station, it’s easy to get there without getting lost.
Hop BroCBM Mitsukoshimae already has a strong domestic craft lineup, so the 12th anniversary day is likely to feel especially true to the store’s character. I already want to drink there.
MugiI want to drink too! On March 22, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop holding my glass, so let’s start with Chichibu Beer and Blue Magic!
The latest post from Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae revealed the brewing status for the 12th anniversary event. According to the post, this year’s anniversary beers will come in two varieties, with the team split into two groups for brewing. The Chichibu side of the brew was handled by two staff members, who worked with a traditional copper kettle to make the beer.
As part of the event announcement, the store said the “CBM Mitsukoshimae 12th Anniversary” will be held on Sunday, March 22. Chichibu Beer and Blue Magic were also named as the breweries providing the anniversary beers, and the store said more details would be shared gradually going forward.
The same post also included daily business information, adding not only a “new taps” announcement but also featured menu recommendations. The lineup includes seasonal Japanese dishes such as seared kinmedai sashimi, tai sashimi blanched in hot water, katsuo tataki, blanched nanohana, grilled broad beans, and hotaruika tempura. For visitors who want to pair beer with Japanese food, checking the day’s lineup looks especially worthwhile.
The store is located on the first floor of COREDO Muromachi 3 and is easily accessible via direct connection from Mitsukoshimae Station. Official store information also highlights Mitsukoshimae as a location with a strong lineup of domestic craft beers centered on Japanese cuisine, promoting pairings between regional ingredients, local dishes, and craft beer.
