BEER BAR Awatachi in Fukui to Pour 5th Anniversary Beer Brewed by Yellow Monkey Brewing
Awatachi, a standing craft beer bar in central Fukui, has announced a three-day fifth-anniversary event running from July 31 to August 2. The lineup includes a 5th-anniversary beer brewed by Yellow Monkey Brewing, limited glasses, stickers, and a tap takeover.
Hop BroAwatachi in Fukui is throwing a 5th anniversary event from July 31 to August 2. They’ve even got an anniversary beer brewed by Yellow Monkey Brewing, which is a strong move.
MugiWait, a three-day celebration? That’s not just an event, that’s a festival! Do I need to mentally prepare before walking in?
Hop BroThe star of it is the Awatachi 5th Anniversary Beer, and it fits the energy of a standing beer bar near Fukui Station. Yellow Monkey Brewing made it, and the style is still undisclosed, which somehow makes it even more tempting.
MugiA mystery beer style? That’s dangerous for my curiosity! Also, what even is a tap takeover? It sounds like a robot attack.
Hop BroHere’s the thing, a tap takeover means one brewery takes over the draft lineup. Awatachi usually rotates four taps, but this time it’s basically getting painted in Yellow Monkey colors.
MugiWhat, so it’s all Yellow Monkey? I’m into that. But those glasses are wild too: the 147 ml 5th anniversary glass and the 237 ml 3rd anniversary glass are both 1,900 yen!
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm, and they’ve also got glass tasting sets. Selling the leftover 3rd anniversary glasses at the same price is such a shamelessly clever way to turn old stock into part of the party.
MugiShameless and impressive! And then there’s RUN FOR BEER... are people really running in the morning and drinking after? That somehow feels unhealthy and healthy at the same time.
Hop BroOn the morning of August 1, they’re running with brewer Komada. A brewer appearance just means the person who actually made the beer shows up. They’ve also reserved Shinei Terrace on August 1 and 2, and there might even be fireworks on opening night.
MugiThis event has 200 limited stickers too? Okay, now I want to get there early. The standing-bar setup where you can pick beers one by one sounds really easy to enjoy.
Hop BroWith the anniversary beer, limited glasses, and that Yellow Monkey lineup, I’m already craving a downtown Fukui toast. Events like this make the first pour feel like the start of a great night.
MugiSame here, I want that first pour now. If I go, I’m starting with the Awatachi 5th Anniversary Beer for sure!
BEER BAR Awatachi, located in Fukui's Shin-ei Shopping Street within walking distance of Fukui Station, announced details of its fifth-anniversary event on Instagram. The standing-style craft beer bar usually rotates beers from breweries across Japan across four taps, and this time the celebration centers on a collaboration with Yellow Monkey Brewing.
The event will run for three days: Friday, July 31 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Saturday, August 1 from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.; and Sunday, August 2 from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Awatachi will serve its 5th-anniversary beer and host a tap takeover with Yellow Monkey Brewing beers. The bar also plans to hand out 200 anniversary stickers and sell 40 5th-anniversary glasses. It will also bring back its unsold 3rd-anniversary glass, offered at the same price as the 5th-anniversary glass.
The glasses are priced at 1,900 yen each: the 5th-anniversary glass holds 147 ml, while the 3rd-anniversary glass holds 237 ml. Sets are also available, including a two-glass tasting set and a mixed set pairing one 5th-anniversary glass with one 3rd-anniversary glass. Other scheduled items include a morning RUN FOR BEER with brewer Komada on August 1, a private booking of the Shin-ei Terrace behind the bar on August 1 and 2, and a possible fireworks display on the first day.
With limited glassware, a brewer visit, and a full tap takeover, the anniversary program puts Awatachi's straightforward beer-focused style on display for three days in central Fukui.
