Hop BroAt the Miura Kaigan Beer Festival that started in front of Miura Kaigan Station, eight breweries came together on the first day, and it's already really buzzing.
MugiWait, they're doing that right in front of the station!? Eight breweries? That's basically a beer lover's cultural festival!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is Space Under the Tracks UMICO, and it's an eight-day event from April 29 to May 6, with nine companies taking part on different days.
MugiNine companies taking turns? What does that mean? A different lineup every day sounds like it would be fun just to keep following!
Hop BroThe brewery featured in this report is Miura Brewery, based in Misaki. Its hallmark is expressing Miura's sea and seasonal feel through beer.
MugiOhhh! What kinds of beers do they have? Just hearing about four core beers makes me want to drink them in order!
Hop BroThe regular lineup is MIURA GOLDEN ALE, MIURA COAST IPA, MISAKI MAGURO AMBER, and MIURA ISLAND WHEAT, with a range from breezy seaside lightness to the sweetness of malt.
MugiWait, IPA and WHEAT suddenly got technical! Does the difference in style really change the taste that much?
Hop BroIn short, IPA is driven by hop aroma, while WHEAT is softer because it uses wheat. That's why tasting the same brewery's beers side by side is so much fun.
MugiAnd you can even pair it with tuna and Miura vegetables at the taproom? That's too good! This isn't just beer!
Hop BroDrinking a local pour in a harbor-town setting is great, and it feels like you can take in all of Miura's character at once.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! I want to taste the combo of sea breeze and beer in Miura Kaigan during Golden Week!
