MugiWhat, walking and then beer?! That’s not just zero guilt, that’s a bonus!
Hop BroExactly. You walk around the foot of Mt. Mukabaki, finish at the brewery by 14:00, and then it’s a full-on charcoal BBQ with beef, pork, chicken, sausage, vegetables, and grilled rice balls!
MugiNice! 3,500 yen including BBQ and insurance sounds like a good deal. So what’s the beer like?
Hop BroHideji Beer’s strength is that it uses natural water and its own cultured yeast. For example, "Taiyo no Lager" is a lager style with a clean, crisp finish that feels great. And it even won silver at the World Beer Cup 2023!
MugiWhat?! So cultured yeast is like raising yeast as a pet?!
Hop BroThat’s basically right. The brewery manages its own yeast to keep the aroma and flavor character stable. It’s like a secret family starter in cooking.
MugiI get it! Also, it said "draft beer 600 yen". What’s different from cans?
Hop BroDraft beer is on a whole other level when it comes to freshness. The foam has a better texture too, and the local atmosphere plus the smell of charcoal really completes the experience. And if you add 2,000 yen, there’s even a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option!
MugiThere’s also a free shuttle bus at 16:00, 16:50, and 17:40, so the ride home is covered... I have no choice but to go! Walk, grill, and drink Hideji!
Hop BroYou can check in at the Noguchi Tadasuke Memorial Hall parking lot or Nobeoka Botanical Garden, and apply through the dedicated form. Drinking Taiyo no Lager in spring at Mukabaki just makes your throat want to sing!
MugiMy throat is already completely in starting position! I want to practice the toast right now!
