Sakamichi Brewing to host a Tachikawa summer festival, with 500-yen beers at the South Exit taproom
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa will run a three-day summer festival from August 21 to 23. On August 22 and 23, the South Exit taproom will sell 500-yen beers, while Sakamichi North adds food pop-ups and DJ sets.
Hop BroWith Tachikawa's summer festival coming up, Sakamichi Summer Festival really stands out. Sakamichi Brewing is running it for three days from August 21 to 23, and on the 22nd and 23rd they'll be pouring 500-yen beer in front of the south-side taproom.
MugiWait, 500-yen beer? That's full-on festival pricing! Just being able to swing by in Tachikawa and grab one sounds dangerous in the best way.
Hop BroAnd over at the north side, Sakamichi North is hosting food pop-ups and DJs. It's not just about drinking, it's built to make you want to roam around the neighborhood.
MugiWhoa, hold on. Creating foot traffic loops suddenly sounds like event-planner jargon! What does that even mean?
Hop BroBasically, you grab a beer on the south side, eat on the north side, then wander back for another pint. It's a whole-town festival flow, not just one stop.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And with Pizza V, yakisoba, and Taquito, it's got a proper street-stall lineup too. My stomach is already at the festival.
Hop BroSakamichi Brewing started in October 2019, and one of its signatures is using local organic ingredients as much as possible while brewing in West Tokyo. The article says beer names aren't announced, but they handle everything from lagers and ales to newer styles.
MugiHang on, lager and ale are words I hear all the time, but my usual tasting note is just, "Yep, that's different somehow!"
Hop BroVery roughly, lagers tend to be crisper, while ales usually show off more aroma. At a place like Sakamichi Brewing with a wide style range, you can just pick whatever fits your mood.
MugiOhhh, I like that. Drinking a locally brewed pint in the middle of the festival buzz really feels like the joy of a local brewery.
Hop BroAnd with the Suwa Shrine grand festival bringing people through Tachikawa, the timing is perfect for a stop-in. It's basically the ideal detour between festival moments.
MugiI'm thirsty just picturing it now! A 500-yen beer at the south side, food at the north side, then one more round after that... summer festival beer hopping sounds way too good.
