Shinkichi Brewery, a brewpub from Takasaki, Gunma, will be exhibiting on both days at "Natural Wine Love Vol.06," held on April 18 and 19 in the courtyard and pilotis of the United Nations University. Recommended drinks include the braggots "Don't Get Me Going" and "Gentle Devil."
Hop BroOn April 18 and 19, Shinkichi Brewery from Takasaki, Gunma will be at the courtyard and pilotis of the United Nations University. Beer showing up at Natural Wine Love Vol.06 is pretty hot stuff, right?
MugiWait, beer at a natural wine event!? Won't that stick out? And it's free to enter too, so I already have every reason to go!
Hop BroThat's what makes Shinkichi Brewery interesting. They've always been doing beer as a meal companion. Because their foundation is the sensibility of a Japanese cuisine chef, they're good at designing beers that fit right in with food.
MugiSo as a meal companion, you mean beer that feels like wine? Hearing restrained carbonation and all that, it's hard to picture!
Hop BroExactly. Instead of pushing through with bubbles, they're the kind that win you over with aroma, acidity, and finish. And this time, the featured beer is the braggot Don't Get Me Going, which is another one that really catches my attention.
MugiBraggot, what even is that!? A sparkling brew made with malt and honey sounds stylish just from the name!
Hop BroPut simply, braggot is a brewed alcoholic drink that uses honey, right? And this one was brewed without hops, so it should come across as rosé-colored and pretty wine-like.
MugiNo hops means Hop-nii seems a little sad! But with that rosé color, it'll lift the mood just by looking at it, and it should photograph really well too!
Hop BroThere's also Gentle Devil, made with the same grapes, and this one is brewed with a focus on acetic acidity. It uses Muscat Bailey A and local Gunma Fujiminori grapes, so the tasting comparison should be really interesting.
MugiIt's weird that it has grapes in it and still feels more beer-like. So the right move is to buy the tasting tickets ahead of time, right?
Hop BroExactly. You can sip it like a chaser between wines, or enjoy it with toast spread with butter. This is definitely the kind of thing that makes us want to head there with our throats already rumbling.
MugiYeah, I want to go so badly already! Once you hear about wine-leaning beer, there's no way you can resist drinking it. The next round is definitely this one!
Shinkichi Brewery (Wakamatsu-cho, Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture) will be exhibiting on both Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 at "Natural Wine Love Vol.06," held in the courtyard and pilotis of the United Nations University. The event is free to enter, and visitors are advised that buying tasting tickets in advance is a better deal.
Shinkichi Brewery is a brewpub that has been making beer in Takasaki since 2017. Drawing on the sensibilities of a Japanese cuisine chef, it positions its beer as a "meal companion" meant to go with everyday food. In its post, the brewery explained this direction as making beers that can feel wine-like, with restrained carbonation and bitterness that is not too strong.
The standout recommendation for this event is the braggot "Don't Get Me Going." Made with Muscat Bailey A and local Gunma Fujiminori grapes, it is a sparkling brewed beverage based on malt and honey. For this release, it was brewed without hops and finished as a rosé-colored bottle. In addition, the brewery is suggesting a tasting comparison with "Gentle Devil," brewed with the same grapes and with a focus on acetic acidity.
At the venue, the beers are envisioned as something to enjoy like a chaser between wines, or paired with toast spread with butter, making it clear that the beers are designed to be enjoyed alongside food. As a brewery with a wine-leaning approach that is rare in the craft beer scene, it seems likely to stand out even at a natural wine event.
