Hop BroThere’s something happening in Akabane. VERTERE TAP TAKEOVER is being held at UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane Store from May 22 to 24.
MugiWhoa! VERTERE from Okutama is coming to Akabane? A three-day limited event is enough to make me restless!
Hop BroAnd a tap takeover is a plan where the pub’s draft lineup gets taken over by one brewery all at once. This time, the cool part is that they’ll all show up on draft together.
MugiAll together on draft? What does that even mean! The term tap takeover suddenly sounds way too advanced!
Hop BroSimply put, it means the star of the taps gets completely swapped out. This time, because the tap list will be revealed progressively, even the waiting time before you know what’s coming is part of the fun.
MugiWow, making us wait for the reveal is sneaky! The thrill of seeing the lineup announced is part of the event too.
Hop BroAnd UNDERGROUND, according to its official info, has 12 or more taps and more than 100 bottled beers, so the foundation for tasting side by side is strong.
Mugi12 or more kinds? I feel like I’d get tipsy before even choosing! With more than 100 bottles too, you could travel through beer just by looking at the shelves.
Hop BroThe location is great too. It’s a 4-minute walk from Akabane Station, and although the area is lively, the shop itself has a calm feel where you can really take your time with a beer.
MugiIt sounds perfect for stopping by after work... And the VERTERE staff are coming on Saturday too, right? Drinking a toast with the brewers is almost unfair.
Hop BroHours are Monday through Saturday from 12:00 to 23:30, and Sunday from 12:00 to 22:00, so starting from lunch is an option too. This is definitely VERTERE in Akabane - the only thing to do is go drink.
MugiI’m in! While following the tap list updates, all that’s left is to wait for the day when we can taste a glass from Okutama in Akabane!
