Weekend schedule


RIOT BEER, the brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya, posted its schedule for Aug. 29 and 30 on Instagram. The shop will be open on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. The post also mentions Summertime Blues Calamandarin and says the beer is being lined up for tap.

Yoyoga Summer Festival appearance


From Aug. 29 to 30, RIOT BEER will also appear at the Yoyoga Summer Festival. According to the post, the brewery will be operating from Ogahashi Shoten’s booth, giving visitors a chance to run into RIOT BEER beers while moving through the festival grounds. That fits the brewery-pub format well: beer on site, and beer out in the neighborhood.

Taco lunch on Aug. 30


On Aug. 30, Creig’s Tacos Lunch is scheduled to start at 12:00. The pairing of tacos and craft beer makes the day feel especially close to RIOT BEER’s strength as a brewpub, where brewing and serving are tied together. For beer fans in Tokyo, the post reads like a compact weekend itinerary with both on-premise drinking and off-site event action.
