Off to Tachikawa (立川) before an after-work drinking party! VERTERE, one of Tokyo’s premier craft breweries originating from Okutama (奥多摩), has finally opened a taproom within walking distance of JR Tachikawa Station. I made my first visit in March 2026, right before a company get-together. The sight of 20 taps of VERTERE beer lined up in a sleek white-and-concrete space was absolutely stunning.

What is the VERTERE Tachikawa Taproom?
VERTERE is a craft brewery headquartered in Okutama (奥多摩), Nishitama District, Tokyo. Specializing in Belgian ales, sours, and mixed fermentation, they’re recognized as one of Japan’s top breweries with high acclaim both domestically and internationally. While the Okutama main location offers a special pilgrimage-like experience due to its remote access, in 2025 they opened a taproom near Tachikawa Station, making it far more accessible for urban craft beer lovers.

Space & Atmosphere: A Chicago-Inspired Refined Setting
Upon entering, the first thing that strikes you is the clean, white-and-concrete space. It’s not flashy, but the thoughtful use of materials and lighting creates a perfect environment for focusing on beer. The bar counter features 20 taps neatly arranged, all pouring VERTERE beers.
While VERTERE has always been synonymous with Okutama (奥多摩), this Tachikawa location boasts a prime spot just a short walk from the station. With excellent access from Tachikawa Station — served by the Chuo, Ome, and Nambu lines — it’s easy to stop by after work or during a weekend beer crawl.
I thought “Should I really be drinking beer in Tachikawa before a work party?” but the moment I saw those 20 taps, I walked right in without hesitation (laughs). The refined space reminded me of a craft beer bar in Chicago.
Beers I Had
This time I enjoyed a supremely smooth and delicious pint that’s distinctly VERTERE. The sheer joy of choosing from 20 taps was an experience in itself.
| Beer Style | 20 varieties centered on Belgian ales, sours, and mixed fermentation |
| Mouthfeel | Extremely smooth & creamy |
| Character | VERTERE’s signature delicacy & refined flavor profile |
| Taps | Always 20 taps (lineup varies seasonally) |
VERTERE is a brewery that combines the pristine water of Okutama with unique fermentation techniques! The balance between Belgian-style ester aromas and the complex acidity from mixed fermentation has earned them world-class recognition!

Conclusion: VERTERE’s New Urban Outpost Brings Okutama’s Magic to Tachikawa
While VERTERE’s Okutama main location offers a special experience precisely because of its remote access, this Tachikawa taproom sets a new standard for urban craft beer experiences. The system of 20 taps, fully cashless, and BYO food is highly practical. Next time I’m planning to bring takeout from Tachikawa’s food scene. If you’re looking to enjoy craft beer along Tokyo’s Chuo Line or in the Tama area, definitely give this place a visit.
