Kotokoto Beer to Sell Draft and Bottled Beer at KBS Kyoto’s 75th Anniversary Event
Kotokoto Beer, a microbrewery in Kizugawa, Kyoto, will take part in KBS Kyoto’s 75th anniversary event at KBS Hall on June 27. The brewery will offer draft and bottled beer at the venue, alongside live TV and radio programming and a local market.
Hop BroKyoto has a fun beer stop coming up. Kotokoto Beer at KBS Hall is happening on June 27.
MugiWhat! KBS Kyoto's 75th event gets beer too? Live broadcasting, a marche, and beer all at once is a lot to process!
Hop BroThat's the nice part. They'll have draft and bottle sales, and admission is free, so it's easy to just drop in.
MugiOooh! But the beer names aren't announced yet? My throat is already trying to show up early.
Hop BroRight. The beer names and styles haven't been listed yet, but Kotokoto Beer is known for brewing with food in mind.
MugiWhat's that supposed to mean, the pairing-focused thing? You just switched into advanced beer vocabulary!
Hop BroBasically it's built to support food. The bitterness and aroma don't go wild, so the beer actually works with the meal.
MugiOhhh, and they're a microbrewery in Kizugawa too, right? Small-scale brewing already sounds extra charming.
Hop BroExactly. Since May 2022 they've valued small-batch brewing, and their sake-making background could mean a really delicate balance.
MugiSo I watch the live show, wander the marche, then dash to the fresh keg server? That's not an event, that's a perfect day.
Hop BroAnd what you'll taste there is beer made for the table. The unannounced lineup honestly makes that first pour even more exciting.
MugiI'm already mentally at 10:00 on June 27, trying to decide whether to start with draft or grab bottles too. Now I really want a drink!
