SIBLINGS plans a Hansharo Beer tap takeover on July 18 after a brewery visit
SIBLINGS, a beer pub in Kikuna, Yokohama, shared a visit to Hansharo Beer ahead of its planned tap takeover on Saturday, July 18, 2026. The post also notes that nitro cans from the brewery are expected to arrive at the bar soon.
Hop BroThis one's a big one: SIBLINGS in Kikuna, Yokohama went all the way to the brewery in Izu, Shizuoka ahead of the July 18 Hansharo event.
MugiWait, a tap takeover sounds like the taps are being held hostage! Why does that name sound so dramatic!?
Hop BroNothing dangerous, right. It just means the taps get switched over so one brewery takes over the lineup like a full-on beer festival.
MugiOhhh! And they even got shown around by head brewer Yamada and toured the brewery itself, right? That's like a field trip with actual rewards!
Hop BroExactly. Hansharo Beer really leans on tradition and innovation, and you can feel how its old-school local beer roots connect to what they're doing now.
MugiWhoa, that escalated into history class fast! And it's near Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace too, so the historical aura is intense.
Hop BroThat's part of the charm. The place has real depth, and for this event the beer names and styles aren't announced yet, so the suspense is half the fun.
MugiWhat a tease! But that post also mentioned nitro cans coming soon. How is a can suddenly this exciting?
Hop BroBecause nitro uses nitrogen for silky foam. Instead of sharp carbonation, you get a softer, creamier mouthfeel that feels super smooth.
MugiSilky foam? That's not a drink anymore, that's a blanket made of beer! Now I want both the draft and the can version immediately.
Hop BroSIBLINGS is basically bringing back the energy of the visit and pouring it into the event. I'm already ready to toast with Hansharo Beer.
MugiSame. On July 18, I want to taste the whole story, not just the beer. Draft first or nitro can first is a very serious problem now!
SIBLINGS, a beer pub in Kikuna, Yokohama, shared photos from a visit to Hansharo Beer in Shizuoka ahead of a tap takeover scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026. In the post, the team says they toured the brewery with head brewer Yamada and learned about the background behind the beers.
Hansharo Beer is described as a brewery that has continued making beer since the era when Japan’s craft beer scene was still widely known as “local beer.” The post emphasizes its balance of tradition and innovation, and also notes the brewery’s location near the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace, a World Heritage site, which clearly left a strong impression on the SIBLINGS team.
The post also mentions that a canning machine was introduced through crowdfunding, along with equipment for adding nitrogen gas. As a result, Hansharo Beer’s nitro cans are now available, and SIBLINGS says they are expected to arrive there soon. Even though no specific beer names are listed in the post, the pub’s update suggests that canned releases will also be part of the lineup around the event.
SIBLINGS is a beer pub in Kikuna, Yokohama, and this brewery visit seems designed to carry the brewery’s story straight to the bar. For beer fans, it looks like a chance to enjoy Hansharo Beer with a better sense of the people, place, and brewing philosophy behind it.
