Hop BroOn Saturday, May 31, the Ebina brewery open-house event is going to be hot. Better life with upcycle will show us the brewing process we normally don't get to see.
MugiWhat! No reservation required and admission free? It's so casual I’m the one getting nervous!
Hop BroExactly. Between 11:00 and 17:00, the staff will welcome visitors while working, and you can freely tour the facility.
MugiWhat is this! And Better life with upcycle sounds way too stylish from the name alone, doesn't it?
Hop BroThis brewery makes beer using bread crusts. It's a pretty unique upcycling approach, replacing part of the malt with bread crusts.
MugiWait, bread crusts instead of malt? Does that really make beer? This is suddenly giving me school-lunch vibes!
Hop BroIt does. What's interesting is how it makes use of ingredients from a food-loss perspective, and the flavor gets real character too. That's the kind of idea you get because it's built around a bakery.
MugiOhhh! So can you drink on the day? If it's just a tour, my throat is going to cry!
Hop BroOf course. You can enjoy a 700 yen paid tasting for 12oz beer, and you can buy canned beer too. They also have the rusk that's popular at the event, so they haven't skimped on snacks either.
MugiRusk too? That's unfair! But how do you pay? If it's cash only, I'll have to live on sheer willpower instead of cash.
Hop BroThat's something to watch out for: it's cashless payments only. Also, bringing food is allowed, but anything that uses fire is not. It's casual, but the rules should be followed smartly.
MugiI see, so you can drink while touring the site in Ebina! Bread-crust beer and rusk - the whole world is so perfectly put together my stomach is already growling!
Hop BroExactly. The best part is that you can just drop in casually. If you check out the brewing process in Ebina, taste the beer, and snack on some rusk, you'll probably want another round.
