Hop BroSo the Kobe Motomachi store is finally holding its 4th Anniversary WEEK. From May 11 to 14, it's going to be an event packed with the playful spirit of Open Air Minatoyama Brewery.
MugiWhoa! They're celebrating their 4th anniversary with that much stuff? 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink right from the start? That's serious business!
Hop BroIf you show the World One app member screen, you can get 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink for all varieties for 3,000 yen. And because it's a glass-exchange system, it's designed so you can carefully enjoy a range of flavors.
MugiWhat even is a glass-exchange system? Does glass exchange system mean you change your beer's outfit every time you toast?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a system where you return your empty glass before moving on to the next pour. Since the flavors don't mix as easily, it's easier to notice the differences in hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiI see, that's beginner-friendly! And there's even a no-lose lottery that everyone who visits can join? I can't stop getting excited!
Hop BroExactly. It sounds like the prizes are still being selected by the store manager, so there's fun beyond just drinking. Plus, a limited-design IPA is scheduled to go on sale from May 12, which makes it feel even more commemorative.
MugiHearing 'limited' makes me suddenly restless! A Motomachi-store-only version is way too tempting for collector brains, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. Open Air Minatoyama Brewery is based at NATURE STUDIO, and using seasonal hops and herbs is part of its signature style. That's why the Kobe Motomachi store is a place where you can get ahead of the season and enjoy a seasonal pour.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! If I can stop by day or night, I want to swing by after work, have a quick drink, draw the lottery, and maybe go for the limited IPA too!
