CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA, a craft brewery in Kiryu, Gunma, has announced its 2nd-anniversary event on Instagram. The post says the location and time are now public, and the brewery’s website lists the event for July 4.
Hop BroSomething good is happening in Kiryu: CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA is holding its 2nd anniversary event on July 4.
MugiWhat, already two years!? A celebration in Kiryu sounds so local and fun!
Hop BroThe event is listed as 2nd anniversary event, and the official site says it runs on Saturday, July 4, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
MugiFour full hours to enjoy it, nice! Posting the place and time on Instagram is pretty helpful too.
Hop BroThis brewery got its brewing license approved in June 2024, started brewing, and began selling beer that August.
MugiHold on, you just slipped in brewing license like that was casual. What does that even mean?
Hop BroBasically, it is an official permit to brew and sell beer properly. Once they had that, they could really get moving.
MugiOhh, got it! Then I need the important part: what kinds of beer are they making?
Hop BroThey use American malt and hops, and their lineup includes IPA, Hazy IPA, India Black Ale, and stout. So the point is aroma, bitterness, and color all being part of the fun.
MugiThat escalated into full beer-menu mode! But hearing they even have dark styles too totally makes me want a tasting flight.
Hop BroThat is the charm. It feels like a careful small brewery lineup, with the hop character really showing, and they are building stronger ties through local events. It really sounds like a beer born in Kiryu.
MugiThen it is settled. When July 4 at 1 p.m. comes around, I am going to want IPA, stout, and a full anniversary toast.
Anniversary notice on Instagram
CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA, a craft brewery based in Kiryu, Gunma, has shared its 2nd-anniversary event information on Instagram. The post says the location and time have been announced, and the message clearly frames the update as an anniversary notice.
Scheduled for Saturday, July 4, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The brewery’s official website lists the event as "CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA 2th Anniversary" and shows it scheduled for Saturday, July 4, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For a brewery that started pouring its own beers in 2024, this marks an important milestone.
A Kiryu brewery built around hop-forward ales
CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA began brewing in June 2024 after obtaining its brewing license, and it started selling beer in August of the same year. Its lineup focuses on American-style ingredients and hop character, with beers such as IPA, Hazy IPA, India Black Ale, and Stout.
That background matters here: the brewery has positioned itself around beers that emphasize aroma, bitterness, and balance, rather than focusing on finish alone. The anniversary event is a natural checkpoint for a brand still in its early years, but already developing a recognizable identity in Gunma.
Looking ahead
The brewery’s site also continues to update event participation information. As CRAFT ALE CHIGIRA enters its third year of brewing, it will be worth watching how it connects its beers with local events and visitors in Kiryu and beyond.
