Hop BroSetouchi Brewery’s April lineup at Riverside 351 is packed with springtime ideas.
MugiReally? They’re doing that many events at the taproom? A monthly lineup like that sounds exciting!
Hop BroFirst up is the Cherry Blossom Viewing Flight from 4/3-5, with three beers: `SAKURA HAZY IPA`, `SAISON DE MIMOSA`, and `Guava & Peach Ale`.
MugiWhat is that! A HAZY IPA sounds cloudy just from the name, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, hop-driven aroma tends to come forward, and the bitterness is often gentler. This one is leaning into springlike aromas to fit the cherry blossom viewing mood.
MugiOhhh, that sounds easy to drink! But `SAISON DE MIMOSA` sounds kind of like a flower shop name, and cute too!
Hop BroExactly. Then from 4/10-12, there’s the JGBA Award-Winning Flight, where you can compare beers that won at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026.
MugiComparing beers is fun, but seeing award-winning beers lined up like that makes me nervous in a kind of serious beer-geek way!
Hop BroAnd from 4/17-19, the Keg Kick Festival gives you an original insulated cooler bag when a keg runs dry. Watching the keg turnover happen is part of the fun.
MugiWait, you get it when it empties!? A perk when the keg kicks has so much drama to it!
Hop BroTo wrap it up, 4/23-29 brings 10% off canned beer, which is perfect for stocking up before Golden Week and makes you want to grab a drink in springtime Takamatsu.
MugiI’m completely in the mood to drink now! I want to go taste that spring-limited pint at Riverside 351~!
Setouchi Brewery has announced its April taproom program, “Riverside 351.” The setting is the brewery-adjacent taproom in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. SETOUCHI BEER is a craft beer brand rooted in the Setouchi region, and handles everything in-house, from planning and brewing to packaging and shipping.
In addition to its weekend role as a taproom where guests can enjoy draft beer, the shop also carries souvenir bottles on weekdays. Its distinctive appeal is that visitors can enjoy both seasonal limited releases and core offerings while checking them out on site.
April’s program is divided by period.
- 4/3-5 | Cherry Blossom Viewing Flight
A spring-limited flight of three beers: `SAKURA HAZY IPA`, `SAISON DE MIMOSA`, and the taproom-exclusive `Guava & Peach Ale`. The lineup is tailored to the cherry blossom viewing season.

A tasting event featuring beers that won awards at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026. Visitors can sample multiple award-winning beers at once, making it easy to see where the brewery stands right now.

If a keg runs empty when ordering draft beer, customers will receive an original SETOUCHI BEER insulated cooler bag. It is a promotion designed to make keg turnover fun while also giving people a reason to visit.
- 4/23-29 | Craft Beer Day Campaign
During the period, all canned beer in the shop is 10% off. It is an easy chance to try labels you have been curious about, and it also works well for stocking up before Golden Week.
