Hop BroThere’s a fun Mito beer topic today: Sannomaru BEER GROOVE is getting a booth from Motoyamacho Brewery.
MugiWait, Motoyamacho Brewery is that tiny back-alley brewery, right?
Hop BroExactly. They also run Motoyamacho Beer Stand, and this time they’ll be at the plaza June 26 to 28.
MugiThree whole days? And 17 Ibaraki breweries plus food? That’s basically beer festival paradise!
Hop BroWhat I like is that the organizers even did a load-in route check at the venue. Serious prep.
MugiWhat is a load-in route check? A strategy meeting so the kegs don’t get lost?
Hop BroPretty much. It means planning the behind-the-scenes logistics so kegs and servers can come in safely.
MugiOhh! So what are they pouring? Are the beer names still unannounced?
Hop BroIn the article, yes. Whether it’s IPA, lager, or something else, the styles aren’t announced yet, which honestly makes it more fun.
MugiShady grass, that classic old prefectural building, and even reminders to respect the neighborhood? That sounds like a kind-hearted beer space!
Hop BroRight, they’re asking people to watch volume, avoid smoking nearby, and not serve drivers. That same Motoyamacho Beer Stand vibe should carry into the event.
MugiI’m done for. My throat’s thirsty just imagining it. I already want the first pint with some festival food!
Motoyamacho Brewery is a small craft brewery tucked away in an alley in Motoyamacho, Mito, Ibaraki, with its own taproom, Motoyamacho Beerstand, next door. In this Instagram post, the brewery shared preparations for Sannomaru BEER GROOVE.
The venue is Ibaraki Prefectural Sannomaru Government Office Plaza. According to the post, committee members checked the loading route, tent placement, temporary structures, and the overall flow of the site. The brewery also highlighted the green surroundings, the shaded lawn, and the classic former prefectural office building often used for film and TV shoots.
The event is set for June 26-28, with 17 craft breweries from across Ibaraki and a lineup of food vendors. That makes it a beer-and-food gathering rooted in local breweries rather than a one-off showcase. Motoyamacho also thanked guests who came to the beerstand on Friday despite its short opening hours, which reinforces the brewery's role as a neighborhood taproom.
The post also included practical notes for the beerstand: keep voices down in the residential area, do not smoke inside or around the property, do not serve beer to drivers, and use a designated driver if needed. For cyclists, the brewery asks guests to walk their bikes home after drinking. It is a reminder that the brewery is building a beer culture that fits its neighborhood as much as its event schedule.
