MugiWait! A brewery takeover? How is that different from just tapping a new beer?
Hop BroThis one's a full five-tap hijack. From around 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., the draft lines are basically going all FLORA.
MugiWhat! So every handle turns Team FLORA? That's like a beer mini-festival!
Hop BroExactly. FLORA FERMENTATION is a young three-brewer crew from Higashiomi, Shiga, and their whole thing is farming meets fermentation. They even grow some of their own hops and barley.
MugiNo way! If they're growing the ingredients too, aren't they basically farmers? Is that the terroir thing people talk about?
Hop BroPretty much. Expressing terroir sounds fancy, but it really just means the character of the field shows up in the beer. You can taste where it comes from.
MugiThat already makes me thirsty! But the beer names are secret this time, right? That kind of makes the day even more fun.
Hop BroThat's the charm. The brewers will be there, so you get behind-the-beer stories with every pour, plus Zen's curry and evening tacos. I'm already picturing my first pint.
MugiCurry at lunch, tacos later, and FLORA in my glass? With a 1 p.m. start, my throat is already on its way to Hiroshima!
Event
OUR STORE, a beer pub in Noborimachi, Hiroshima, will host a tap takeover with FLORA FERMENTATION from Shiga on Saturday, July 18. The event is scheduled from around 13:00 to around 22:00, and all five draft lines will be taken over for the day.
About the beer
FLORA FERMENTATION is a craft brewery founded by three young brewers in Higashiomi, Shiga. They grow hops and barley themselves and build their beer around the theme of agriculture and fermentation. The lineup at OUR STORE is not named in the announcement, but the event promises five draft pours that reflect the brewery's range, with the brewer on site so guests can hear the story behind each pour.
Food and atmosphere
Zen from @curryandcoffeethezen will handle the food, with curry at lunchtime and tacos later in the day. That should make the beers easy to pair through the afternoon and into the evening. OUR STORE is a Hiroshima beer pub where you can drop in early and keep things relaxed, so the event should work well for anyone who wants to spend a few hours with fresh draft beer and the people making it.
