MugiWhat! And it's free to enter? An event like that sounds too good to be true!
Hop BroThe highlight is the "last cask" of Lemongrass Lager, the collaboration between Streetlight Brewing and hilltop herbs.
MugiWhat is that? Lager sounds kind of like a beer geek term, but does that mean it has a lemongrass aroma?
Hop BroExactly. Lager undergoes slow fermentation at low temperatures, so the flavor is clean and it pairs well with herbs. Because it has such a crisp, refreshing finish, the brightness of the lemongrass really comes through.
MugiOhh! And with BIA HOI Katakoto handling the food, plus food and merchandise too, it's basically a beer festival!
Hop BroWhat's more, there will also be pop-ups from saredo, MEDO, weird-meddle, and hilltop herbs, so it really has that full market feel.
MugiWait, there's even a DJ? So you can drink, eat, look around, and listen all in central Sapporo!
Hop BroYeah, and it sounds like the draft beer selection at the beer pub will be strong, so you can also look forward to tasting different beers around the collaboration cask.
MugiNow I really want to go! I want to raise a glass in springtime Sapporo, with the feel of spring all around me!
