KOBO Brewery Tap Takeover Set for October 17 at Craft Beer Market Otemachi
Craft Beer Market Otemachi will host a tap takeover featuring Toyama’s KOBO Brewery on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Head brewer Koťas will attend, joined by Luke from Godspeed. The event is at the Otemachi location, not the Craft Beer Market Sendai store.

MugiWhat? A Toyama brewery is taking over Otemachi? Does tap takeover mean they hijack the beer faucets?
Hop BroA slightly alarming image! A tap takeover means one brewery is featured across multiple draft lines—so you can sample KOBO beers side by side.
MugiNice! So what kind of beer does KOBO Brewery make? Even a brewery in Iwase sounds wonderfully inviting.
Hop BroIt’s run by Jiri Kotinek, who gained brewing experience in Czechia. The brewery is rooted in Czech styles, highlighting malt, hops, yeast, and water.
MugiMalt, hops, yeast, and water are all stars? That’s a beer idol group! But what does yeast’s character actually change?
Hop BroYeast is the microorganism that turns wort sugars into alcohol, while shaping aroma and finish. Put simply, it is beer’s fermentation crew—tiny workers with huge impact.
MugiTiny craftspeople at work! And KOBO’s head brewer is coming too, right? Kochas will attend, so we may get to hear directly from the maker!
Hop BroExactly—and Luke from Godspeed is also joining. It should be a rare chance to taste the stories behind the beers as well.
MugiBut do we know the lineup, prices, or how many taps there will be? I need a stomach-planning meeting! Individual beers are unannounced, right?
Hop BroRight. Tap count, start time, prices, and specific beers were not listed when the article was published, so check the latest venue update first. And remember: Otemachi, not Sendai!
MugiGot it: Craft Beer Market Otemachi! Czech-inspired beer from Toyama, plus brewer chat—I’m already ready to raise a glass!
A tap takeover focused on KOBO Brewery
Craft Beer Market Otemachi will hold a tap takeover dedicated to KOBO Brewery from Toyama on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The announcement says that Koťas, KOBO Brewery’s head brewer, will attend. Luke from Godspeed is also scheduled to join the event.
Based in Iwase, Toyama, KOBO Brewery is known for brewing Czech-inspired beers alongside its original creations. The brewery’s approach emphasizes the character of malt, hops, yeast, and water, making a tap takeover a good opportunity to compare several beers while hearing directly from the people involved in brewing them.
At the time of publication, the announcement does not specify the individual beer names, number of taps, start time, or prices. The lineup should therefore be checked through the venue’s later updates. For now, the confirmed focus is a selection of KOBO Brewery beers, with brewer appearances adding a personal dimension to the tasting.
Craft Beer Market Sendai is a beer pub in Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi. It offers a casual setting for enjoying a broad range of craft beer and food, but this particular event is scheduled for the Otemachi branch. Beer fans interested in Toyama brewing and meeting the brewers should check the latest information from Craft Beer Market Otemachi before visiting.
