Hop BroThere’s a standout event coming to Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho on May 9. On May 9, 2026, CAMADO BREWERY and BLADE FACTORY BREWING are doing a W tap takeover, and honestly, that’s pretty exciting.
MugiWhat! What does a W tap takeover even mean? Like two taps get taken over at once? That sounds a little intense, but also fun!
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically a two-brewery tasting comparison. Since you can drink CAMADO and BLADE FACTORY side by side at the same shop, the differences in flavor come through clearly, and it starts at 12:00, so you can really enjoy it from midday.
MugiHuh? But that Gokugoku Smoke they posted about, is it smoky and still easy to gulp down? Is it smoky or drinkable? My brain is spinning!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it’s a smoky pale lager. It has that smoked aroma, but since it’s a lager, it has a clean mouthfeel and isn’t too heavy, so it pairs well with meat dishes.
MugiWhat! If it pairs with meat dishes, then I’d want it with roast chicken! Beer plus meat in Jinbocho sounds like a seriously happy combo!
Hop BroExactly. One of the great things about Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho is that it’s strong on roast chicken too. You can casually try the draft beer first, then move on to the event taps, so you get both everyday ease and a special-occasion feel.
MugiAnd Jinbocho is the kind of place where you could even stop by between bookstore visits! You look at books, you look at beer, and before you know it, the whole day’s gone!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the fit between the town and the shop. And since CAMADO BREWERY and BLADE FACTORY BREWING are two breweries from Gifu, part of the fun is comparing their personalities at the same venue.
MugiWow, now I totally want to go! It’s the kind of day where you start with one drink and before you know it you’re comparing beers. Hop bro, today is definitely the kind of day that makes you want to drink something delicious!
