MugiWhoa! I want to go! Is it right that the event is on April 18 and 19?
Hop BroThat's right. The venue is Canal Town Plaza in front of JR Hyogo Station, and the fact that it's a free-admission event makes it even better.
MugiNice! And there’s local food too? That’s basically a Hyogo local festival!
Hop BroThis year’s theme is local, the color is pink, and with 21 breweries and over 80 beers planned, the scale is impressive.
MugiWhat is that? Too much information! By the way, what kind of magic is a simultaneous release of limited-edition brewed beers?
Hop BroIt’s a collaboration with 14 sake breweries in Hyogo, kind of a hybrid fermentation design that brings out the character of koji and sake rice.
MugiHuh, fermentation design!? That’s hard! So it means craft beer with sake-like nuances?
Hop BroExactly. It fits perfectly with Naminooto Brewing’s "bring out the ingredients" approach, and even if the beer names haven’t been revealed, the collaboration limited-edition beers look set to be the stars.
MugiIf I can buy advance tickets at the brewery, I’m all set! On the day, let’s go raise a first glass!
