Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo is now selling new canned beers from Topa Topa Brewing Co. only at its taproom. The lineup covers four styles, from lager to West Coast pilsner, making it easy to compare hop expression, malt structure, and drinkability side by side.
On its official website, Sakamichi Brewing says it values process as much as results, with a focus on craftsmanship, local organic ingredients, and a modern, welcoming space for contemporary beer styles. This guest-can release fits that approach: it brings in clearly defined American styles that can be enjoyed directly at the brewery.
The four cans are:
- `Dos Topas / Lager / 4.5%`
A crisp lager with grainy notes of cracker and corn. It won silver in the International style Pilsner category at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival.
- `Level Line / Pale Ale / 5.0%`
Citrus, pine, and forest-like hop character meet honey, biscuit, and toast malt notes. It won gold at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival.
- `Chief Peak / IPA / 7.0%`
Pine-like hop aroma leads into tropical notes of passion fruit, orange, and gooseberry.
- `Mountain Cats / West Coast Pilsner / 6.0%`
A collaboration with Highland Park Brewing of Los Angeles, built around a clean finish and bright hop aroma.
For beer fans visiting Tachikawa, the appeal is straightforward: these cans can be taken home, but they are also available in the taproom, where the styles can be experienced in context.
