Ozigi Brewing joins Omiya’s East Japan Craft Beer Summer Festival
Ozigi Brewing Hakodate reported its appearance at the two-day East Japan Craft Beer Summer Festival held at Marumaru Higashi-Nihon in Omiya on August 1 and 2. The post also highlighted a returning guest who came all the way from Hakodate to meet the brewery again.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up Omiya’s summer beer fest today. ozigi brewing Hakodate Bakushu Jozojo joined the East Japan Craft Beer Summer Festival on August 1 and 2.
MugiWhat, a Hakodate brewery came all the way to Omiya? That’s basically a travel-only beer shortcut!
Hop BroExactly, and it was 11 breweries together, so it was the kind of event where anyone who loves tasting flights could lose all self-control.
MugiWow, but my favorite part is the reunion story. Someone who visited their Hakodate shop came to see them again in Omiya? That’s fan behavior in the best way!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it good. ozigi brewing has a brewery bar setup, and they brew in the back of a renovated old warehouse, so the distance between brewer and drinker feels really close.
MugiHold on, backroom brewing means what exactly? Like a secret potion lab behind the bar?
Hop BroPretty close, but more precise than magical. The real advantage is near-fresh beer, because they can serve it with the aroma still lively and expressive.
MugiOkay, now I’m curious about Shiro Sudachi. The name already sounds refreshing, and sudachi actually works in beer?
Hop BroIt really does. And Blackberry Porter brings fruit character with roasted depth, while the lineup also includes `IPA`, `Classic Saison`, `Sumomo Saison`, `Weizen`, and `American Pale Ale`.
MugiWait, saison and weizen suddenly sound like spells. Explain that in beginner language for me!
Hop BroFair. Saison drinks dry and light, while weizen is softer from wheat with a gentle, friendly aroma.
MugiNow I get it! I’d start with Shiro Sudachi, you’d grab the IPA and porter, and this totally feels like a drink-it-in-Hakodate kind of story.
