MugiWhat! You can drink right on the brewery grounds? It sounds like a brewery school festival!
Hop BroThe headline act is the new Hakusekirei WHITE IPA, and this will be its first reveal in Okazaki.
MugiWhoa! But what even is WHITE IPA? Is it white? Is it bitter? The name is doing too much!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a best-of-both-worlds style that blends soft wheat character with IPA-style hop aroma.
MugiOhhh, so it’s light and smooth but still super aromatic? That’s like the honor student who steals the spotlight!
Hop BroExactly. It uses refreshing New Zealand hops, and the wheat malt helps create a crisp, easy-drinking finish.
MugiWhat is that! That sounded technical, but basically you mean the kind you keep gulping?
Hop BroThat’s exactly right. And with fried chicken, shrimp stick spring rolls, and Hatcho miso dishes, it could be a pairing paradise.
MugiWow, and with tents and food trucks outside, that’s basically an open-air beer fest! Plus it’s on the actual brewery grounds, which makes it feel special.
Hop BroOkazaki Beer was founded in 2022, got its license in 2023, and started selling its own beer that same year, so this feels like a new brewery-led way to enjoy beer.
MugiThat does it, I’m fully in I need a glass right now mode! On August 29 from 3 to 8 p.m., I want to be outside with a Hakusekirei in hand.
Okazaki Beer, based in Okazaki City, Aichi, will host the second installment of its “trial opening” on Saturday, August 29, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the brewery grounds.
The highlight is the new beer Hakusekirei WHITE IPA. According to the brewery, it features the fresh aroma of New Zealand hops and a light, crisp body built with wheat malt. This will be its first public appearance in Okazaki.
Food will also be available, including tatsuta-age and shrimp stick spring rolls, plus Haccho-miso dishes and classic beer-friendly snacks. Although the site is normally used for brewing, the brewery will place tents and food trucks on the grounds to test an outdoor service format where visitors can enjoy beer and food at a relaxed pace.
The venue is 14-1 Johoku-cho, Okazaki City, Aichi. It is about a 20-minute walk from Naka-Okazaki Station or Okazaki-koen-mae Station, 8 minutes from the Meitetsu Bus stop Nomi-cho, and 5 minutes from the Nisshin Park Kita-Okazaki Station parking lot. The brewery says it will not sell alcohol to drivers.
Okazaki Beer was established in August 2022, obtained its beer-production license in 2023, and began selling its own products later that year. The event reflects the brewery’s effort to explore new ways to enjoy its beer directly at the source.
