RIOT BEER Taps Sakura Lager, with Weekend Pop-Ups in Shin-Maruko and Chofu
The brewpub RIOT BEER in Kinuta, Setagaya Ward, tapped its "Sakura Lager" in its Saturday, March 28 service. Inside the taproom, it is also serving "Summer Mikan Ale," and it is guiding drinkers toward weekend event appearances in Shin-Maruko and Chofu.
Hop BroRIOT BEER in Kinuta, Setagaya Ward, has tapped Sakura Lager. What stands out first is that they’re serving a spring-like beer for the weekend service.
MugiWhoa! Sakura Lager sounds like hanami just from the name alone, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroBecause lagers are fermented slowly at low temperatures, they tend to have a clean, crisp profile. The nice thing is that they’re light and easy to drink, which suits the feel of spring.
MugiHuh, nice! But they also have Summer Mikan Ale on tap in the taproom, so isn’t summer mikan a bit busy for spring?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it feel like RIOT BEER: the fruit aroma from the summer mikan grown at Hattori Farm in Kitami really comes through. The contrast between the lager’s sharpness and the ale’s aroma is part of the fun.
MugiWhat? So just drinking at the shop lets you enjoy a spring double feature. And there might be new releases too, which is exciting!
Hop BroExactly. The post also said to expect movement in the rotating taps, so it seems like there’ll be a different lineup every time you go. Since it’s a brewpub, being able to drink their own beer on site is a big plus.
MugiAnd the hours are 12:00 to 21:00 on Saturday, March 28! That means I might still make it after work, which is great.
Hop BroOn top of that, they’re scheduled to appear at Shin-Maruko’s TABA BEE RUN on Saturday and at Chofu’s spring market on Sunday. Drinking after moving around under Maruko Bridge, or stopping by after walking along the Nogawa Greenway, both sound great.
MugiWhat, being able to drink outside too is the best! A beer at the event or a slow drink at the shop, it’s hard to choose between the two.
Hop BroIn the end, weekends like this are the most fun. Sakura Lager and Summer Mikan Ale make you want to wrap up a spring day with both.

On Saturday, it will be at Shin-Maruko's "TABA BEE RUN" beer fest. It is described as a plan to enjoy beer along with running, hiking, and walking on the riverbank under Maruko Bridge.
