Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho to host Miyagi double tap takeover on June 20
Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho in Jimbocho will host a W Tap Takeover from 12:00 on June 20, featuring Ishinomaki Hop Works and Kibou no Oka Brewery. The lineup spans 14 beers, with IPA, lager, sour, and seltzer styles side by side.
Hop BroJimbocho is heating up, because a double tap takeover hits Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho at 12:00 p.m. on June 20 with ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS and Kibou no Oka Brewery pouring together.
MugiWhat! Fourteen beers total? So a tap takeover is basically when the bar turns all its faucets into a beer festival, right?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. With seven beers each, the Miyagi breweries practically take over the whole draft wall, so Jimbocho briefly becomes a Miyagi field office.
MugiNo way! From IPA to seltzer means bitter-beer people and crisp-beer people can both go feral together!
Hop BroISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS is bringing Jasmine Tea IPA, plus Galaxy IPA, Shiokaze Lager, Makikaze Ale, DANK YOU VERY MUCH, and CROSS PORT SOUR Shikuwasa, so the aroma range is wildly broad in the best way.
MugiHold on, a dank aroma? That sounds less like beer and more like a wrestling move with entrance music!
Hop BroIn beer terms, deep green hop notes means grassy, resinous, punchy aromas from hops. It attacks your nose, not your opponent.
MugiHa! And Kibou no Oka Brewery has aggressively strong names too. Liver Liver Liver sounds like either a porter or a spell gone wrong!
Hop BroThat side is packed too: sake-kasu hazy IPA in Makeover, West Coast IPA in The Spencer, yuzu saison in Courette, barrel-aged sour in Seiten Rekka, porter in Liver Liver Liver, and even a Mexican lager, so it really suits a slow food-pairing session.
MugiThere it is again, barrel-aged sour! So that's a tart beer that took a nap in a barrel and woke up fancy?
Hop BroExactly. That oak-aged tang adds depth, and if you start with lagers, move into IPAs, and finish on sours, the tasting order will land cleanly. The prize rock-paper-scissors game doesn't hurt either.
MugiThat settles it. Straight to Jimbocho for Shiokaze Lager first, then Jasmine Tea IPA, and then Seiten Rekka to finish. Just hearing this made me want a glass.
Two Miyagi breweries on tap in Jimbocho
Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho is announcing a W Tap Takeover starting at 12:00 on June 20. Two breweries from Miyagi, Ishinomaki Hop Works and Kibou no Oka Brewery, will each pour seven beers, for a total of 14. The range is broad: IPA, lager, sour, seltzer, and more.
Ishinomaki Hop Works
- Makikaze Ale
- Makikaze Wheat
- Shiokaze Lager
- DANK YOU VERY MUCH
- CROSS PORT SOUR Shikuwasa
- Jasmine Tea IPA
- Galaxy IPA
This side moves from classic ale and lager to a collaboration seltzer with shikuwasa citrus, plus a jasmine tea IPA and a Galaxy-hop IPA made with rice from Miyagi. It is the kind of lineup that makes style comparisons straightforward.
Kibou no Oka Brewery
- Knuckle 167A
- The Spencer
- Culotte
- Liver Liver Liver
- Make Over
- Harunorekka
- Mexican Lager
This half leans into an American pale ale, West Coast IPA, yuzu saison, porter, sake-kasu hazy IPA, barrel-aged sour, and Mexican lager. That range fits a beer-pub setting where food pairing is part of the appeal.
The post also mentions a prize rock-paper-scissors contest, so the event is not just about drinking through the taps but also about spending time at the bar and comparing the breweries’ styles one by one.
