Hop BroOgoshi Beer Brewery in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture is holding a "Tank Opening Day" in May. It's a pretty bold event where you can drink directly from the fermentation tank.
MugiWait, what do you mean, "directly from the tank"? So it comes out without going through bottles or kegs?
Hop BroExactly. Since it doesn't go through bottles or kegs, the sense of just-brewed freshness comes through directly. It's the kind of thing that really shows the appeal of a small brewery.
MugiWow! But fermentation tanks sound kind of like a science lab... What does it mean that you can drink beer still fermenting?
Hop BroBecause they time the brewing to match the event, you can see not only beer right after it's finished, but also beer in the middle of fermentation. In other words, you get to enjoy the whole brewing-site experience.
MugiSo it's not just about drinking, but also about getting that behind-the-scenes feel! And if you can talk with the brewer, then you can ask anything!
Hop BroThat's right. Being able to hear about flavor differences and the background of brewing directly from the maker is a big draw. That's exactly the strength of a community-rooted brewery like Ogoshi Beer Brewery.
MugiI'm also curious about the dates! Four days in May means there are quite a few chances.
Hop BroYep, it's Saturday, May 16 to Sunday, May 17, and Friday, May 22 to Saturday, May 23. The hours are 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and the venue is Ogoshi Beer Brewery.
MugiAnd there are snacks and even a shuttle? That's such a help! This definitely makes me want to have a fresh one.
Hop BroThe participation fee is 5,000 yen, 2,500 yen for drivers, and the shuttle is a reservation-only service that meets and ends at Sakaide Station. Experiencing the whole brewery site like this is enough to get any beer fan excited.
MugiYeah, I'm totally in beer mode now! If you go to this event, it's definitely going to taste amazing!
