MugiWhat! They're doing it at the taproom? And at a venue attached to the brewery too? I'd probably get tipsy just from the aroma!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is CAGHIYA TAP ROOM in Musashi-Nakahara, and they'll line up 20 beers total by adding guest beers to Kagiya Brewery's 10 house-brewed selections.
MugiIsn't 20 a lot? But with that tasting lineup, it sounds fun to be torn over where to start!
Hop BroAnd with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Firestone Walker Brewing Company, and Y.MARKET BREWING in the mix, the blend of labels from the U.S. and Japan is seriously exciting.
MugiOhhh! But when you start talking about things like malt body, it suddenly sounds like science class, and I have no idea what you mean!
Hop BroIn simple terms, malt gives beer its body, and hops handle the aroma and bitterness. That's why this event makes comparing aroma and richness really easy to understand.
MugiI see! So it's great that you can bring snacks too, not just beer. Food may be brought in? That's so free, I love it!
Hop BroExactly. Pairings are free and sharing is OK, so it's the kind of event where you can pass around a beer you like and sip a little at a time, which really makes sharing with everyone is OK come alive.
MugiAnd it opens at 19:00, with a participation fee of 3,500 yen before tax, so it's more accessible than I expected! The fact that you apply by DM makes it feel like a little secret gathering, which is exciting!
Hop BroKagiya Brewery is rooted in Kawasaki, and besides Musashi-Nakahara it also has shops in Musashi-Kosugi and Jiyugaoka, so a night like this really feels like a community-rooted evening.
