Hop BroThis one is all about the 2nd anniversary brew day. TAP ROOM 99 shared a close-up look at KANKIKU BREWERY making its anniversary beer for September 5, 2026.
MugiWait, 99HOPPY LAGER sounds intense! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a limited anniversary lager named after the shop itself. The idea is clean lager drinkability with a hop-forward character, and you get it freshest at the Chiba direct taproom.
MugiOoh, a hoppy lager? So the crisp, quiet lager suddenly decided to become the loud one in the room?
Hop BroPretty much, and the key is cold lagering time. After fermentation, they keep it cold and let it rest, so the aroma can pop while the flavor stays neat and smooth.
MugiWhat, so that’s basically beer naptime? Because now I’m picturing a pint under a blanket going, ‘Five more minutes.’
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off, it’s like fridge-side conditioning. The post also showed the staff watching the brew at KANKIKU BREWERY and coming away even more determined to serve better beer.
MugiThat makes me want to taste the story behind the brew, not just the beer. And TAP ROOM 99 has 12 taps with core beers and seasonal releases too, right?
Hop BroYep, and there are Chiba food pairings too. Beer-coated fries, soy-sauce karaage, an easy walk from Chiba or Chiba-Chuo Station, and that calm grown-up hideout vibe.
MugiOkay, I’m sold, first pint goes there! By the time the September 5 anniversary hits, both of us are absolutely going to want an ice-cold 99HOPPY LAGER.
TAP ROOM 99 is KANKIKU BREWERY's direct taproom, where beer is served fresh on draft. According to the official site, the bar offers a rotating lineup across 12 taps, including standard styles such as lagers and weizen, plus seasonal and limited releases.

In the Instagram post, the team follows the brewing process for the beer prepared for the venue's second anniversary on September 5, 2026. The caption describes staff watching KANKIKU BREWERY's work up close and feeling even more committed to serving better beer. The anniversary limited beer is 99HOPPY LAGER, a special release tied to the taproom's name.
The space is described as a quiet, hideaway-like room for adults, suitable for solo visits or small groups. For beer fans, the appeal is not only the fresh pour but also the food pairing and the chance to enjoy the story behind the brew.
