CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi to Host Double Tap Takeover with Session's Brewery and Tokoshie Brewing
CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi in Minato, Tokyo, will host a double tap takeover on Saturday, June 13, featuring Session's Brewery from Hiroshima and Tokoshie Brewing from Ibaraki. The event starts at 2:00 p.m. and is set up for a side-by-side tasting of two distinct brewery styles.
Hop BroTamachi is looking pretty hot, because a double TTO is coming up. At CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi on June 13 from 2 p.m., Sessions Brewery from Hiroshima and Tokoshie Brewing from Ibaraki are both taking over the taps.
MugiWait, two breweries at once? That is not just a fun beer event, that is a full-on final exam for craft beer fans!
Hop BroExactly. A TTO is basically a tap takeover event, where one brewery becomes the star of the draft lineup for the day. It gives the whole place this live, special-event energy.
MugiWhoa. But when there are that many beers, I panic. What's the first pour I should start with?
Hop BroFor Sessions Brewery, I'd build around 'Bruno Pilsner' or 'Bruno Lager.' They make a great tasting path, so you can start crisp and then compare the differences as you go.
MugiPilsner and lager have a name similarity problem though! They sound like twins. Are they actually different?
Hop BroThat part is fun. A pilsner usually has a sharper bitter snap, while lager is the broader category. Think of Bruno Pilsner as the crisp one, and Bruno Lager as the smooth easy-drinker.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about 'Caw'? Belgian wit sounds cute already, so now I'm interested.
Hop BroBelgian wit uses wheat and brings soft aromatic freshness with a light spicy touch. It sounds technical, but 'cloudy and breezy' is the easy version to remember.
MugiCloudy and breezy, I can do that! But Tokoshie Brewing's 'Fuyu no Niji' says DDH Hazy IPA, and that suddenly looks like a magic spell!
Hop BroNot a spell, a reward. DDH means extra-loaded hops, and Hazy IPA means juicy, cloudy, aroma-forward beer. 'Fuyu no Niji' looks like the one for people who want a big fragrant hit.
MugiSo we go from clean Hiroshima pours to juicy Ibaraki power, and the flavor range is huge. If it starts at 2 p.m., I want to get there early and drink from 'Caw' all the way to 'Fuyu no Niji'!
Hop BroThat's the move. You get a live beer day in a casual Tamachi pub, and honestly, I'd want to drink this whole lineup from the first glass to the last.
MugiThen it's settled. Cheers in Tamachi it is, and you are officially responsible for translating your beer nerd language into something I can keep up with!
Double tap takeover on June 13
CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi is scheduled to host a double tap takeover on Saturday, June 13, bringing in Session's Brewery from Hiroshima and Tokoshie Brewing from Ibaraki. The post lists a 2:00 p.m. start, making it a laid-back but beer-focused afternoon at this casual beer pub in the Tamachi area.
Beers that stand out
From Session's Brewery, beers such as `Bruno Pilsner`, `Caw`, and `Bruno Lager` are confirmed in online brewery references. That gives the event a nice spread, from a clean pilsner to a Belgian wit and a lager. Tokoshie Brewing's `Fuyu no Niji` is a DDH Hazy IPA, which points to a more aromatic, juicy direction for fans of modern hop-forward beer.
Why Tamachi works for this kind of event
CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi is a beer pub in Shiba, Minato City, and that setting fits an event like this well. It offers the easygoing feel of a neighborhood pub, but with the energy of a brewery-led takeover. It should work both for a quick stop after work and for a longer tasting session with friends, especially for drinkers who want to compare styles and breweries in one place.
