Hop BroHey, Mugi, they’ve announced the first vendor for the Shio no Yama Beer Fest to be held on April 11 at cirque.enzan in Koshu City.
MugiWait, the festival doesn’t require advance registration? That’s really great if I can just drop by!
Hop BroThe first brewery introduced is IWAI BREWERY in Katsunuma. It’s the brewery from HUGE, which operates many restaurants, and it’s designed to be paired with food.
MugiDesigned to be enjoyed with food... does that mean the beer doesn’t try too hard to be the star?
Hop BroExactly. The key is its good balance, so it doesn’t push bitterness or aroma too far forward and helps each bite of food go down more smoothly.
MugiI see, the beer equivalent of a great supporting actor! But are you really that close with Chief Brewer Yanai?
Hop BroAnd Beer’s post mentioned that too, and it’s exciting that a relationship built over time in the field connects directly to the event. What’s great is that you can see both the character of Katsunuma and the ties between breweries.
MugiKatsunuma makes me think of vineyards, so the fact that they’re doing brewing connected to the local community there is incredibly cool!
Hop BroExactly. And Beer Katsunuma Brewery values seasonality and ingredients, and now that it’s concentrating its brewing operations in Katsunuma, it feels like the local atmosphere is being poured straight into the beer.
MugiThen I’ll go looking for a beer that goes with the food, and Hop, you can go in ready to drink in the vineyard scenery! It’s time to raise a toast on site!
