Himitsu Beer to Hold Tasting Event in Otaru on June 24
The Ise, Mie-based brewery will bring 20 canned beers to Otaru Taproom for a one-day tasting event on June 24. Owner brewer Keita Yabuki is also scheduled to stop by in the evening.
Hop BroThere’s a June 24 event in Otaru called Himitsu no Tasting Room, and for craft beer fans that is a seriously strong detour option.
MugiWhat! Himitsu Beer is coming all the way from Mie to Hokkaido? That travel distance has more hops than a double IPA!
Hop BroExactly. This brewery from Ise is taking over Otaru Tap Room and lining up 20 canned beers for the event.
MugiNo way, twenty? I’d freeze up and start a full can label summit in front of the fridge!
Hop BroAnd their cute creature labels really stand out. The article doesn’t list each style, but it clearly sounds like a made-for-comparison lineup.
MugiHold on, when you say lineup, what does that actually mean for me? The fancy words are foaming over here!
Hop BroPut simply, you try them from lighter to richer and figure out what you like. It’s basically a beer tasting flight spread across cans.
MugiOkay, that I get! And with Yabuki visiting at 7 or so, you can actually talk to the person who made the beer?
Hop BroThat’s the real hook. Getting to drink while chatting with the owner-brewer is rare, and there’s even a merch bonus for three beers.
MugiIt runs from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., so even after work it’s easy to drop by. At this point Otaru side quest confirmed.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it smart for a weekday, and for people far from Mie it’s a great chance to try beers they normally can’t reach. This feels not secret at all in the best way.
MugiThat sounds perfect! I’m ready to fall for the labels first and the flavors second, so let’s do a little practice toast session before we go!
Himitsu Beer, a craft brewery based in Ise, Mie, will host a tasting event called Himitsu no Tasting Room at Otaru Taproom on Wednesday, June 24, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The announcement says 20 canned beers will be available for tasting and comparison.
Owner brewer Yabuki is expected to visit around 7:00 p.m., giving guests a chance to chat while they sample the lineup. The brewery also plans to offer original merchandise to anyone who drinks three beers, and canned purchases alone are welcome. Because the event is scheduled on a weekday, it may be easy to stop by after work or while out shopping.
Himitsu Beer is known for its eye-catching labels featuring a variety of animals and creatures. For fans who do not often run into the brewery's beers outside the region, the Otaru event should offer a rare chance to try several labels at once. The post also mentioned an English Night on June 5 and a temporary bar closure on June 14.
