GOOD HOPS in Tono, Iwate Prefecture, has announced its taproom offerings for Saturday, April 18. The taproom is open 11:00-18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays (last order 17:30), and beer can be enjoyed at a location just a 2-minute walk from Tono Station.

The main attractions this time are MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA and MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER. Both are available in limited quantities, and the post says, "You can drink them on tap again this weekend." The new IPA "Tono no Kaze," which was tapped last week, is also said to be well received.

Tap List for 4/18 (Sat)

- MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA
- MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER
- Tono no Kaze

The brewery is also suggesting a three-beer flight so guests can taste the MURAKAMI SEVEN series together with "Tono no Kaze." In addition to beer, the taproom will also offer light snacks such as mixed nuts, dried fruit and banana chips, Hokkaido edamame, potato fries, and fish and chips.

On the canned-beer side, in addition to MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA, MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER, and Tono no Kaze, canned sales of The Classic Hops have also begun. Other offerings include "Twilight Cascade," "Cheerful Nectaron," "Season of Lupulin," and "HAZY GOOD 2," and they are also available on the e-commerce site.

GOOD HOPS is a brewery rooted in Tono's hop production, and in addition to brewing, it is also engaged in the development of new hop varieties, cultivation, and research into processing techniques. True to Tono, Japan's premier hop-producing region, the weekend taproom lineup lets visitors experience beers built around the character of hops.
