Hop BroToday's topic is the Garyu Brewing x The Tap joint event! On Friday, March 20, 2026, at 6:00 PM, The Tap will host a night of fresh-keg tapping.
MugiWait, the brewer is coming to the venue? You mean we can hear directly from the maker on the spot!?
Hop BroExactly. Getting to hear the recipe background and brewing stories directly from someone at Ehime's Garyu Brewing is seriously exciting.
MugiWhat! What makes a freshly tapped beer different from a regular pour?
Hop BroRight after tapping, the carbonation and aroma come across differently. This is the moment when you can drink that fresh draft feel at its best.
MugiOhhh! And if it's listed at 1,000 yen for S and 1,500 yen for L, it's easy to compare sizes too!
Hop BroThe beer name will be revealed on the day, and the style is still unannounced for now, but that sense of anticipation makes it perfect for an event like this.
MugiAn unannounced style is even more exciting! There are also stories about Ozu kiwi and chestnuts, so if a locally inspired beer shows up, I'll be insanely pumped!
Hop BroThere's also a rock-paper-scissors tournament with prizes, and booking by DM or phone is the safe move. You could go for the glasses or can badges too!
MugiI'm in! Let's be at The Tap at 6:00 PM on March 20, make the freshly tapped beer our first drink, and toast already. I want to drink it now!
