MugiWhat, 20 breweries are gathering there? That sounds like the whole venue is going to be a sea of beer!
Hop BroIt's basically a huge spring party. With local favorites like Kankiku Brewery, RIO BREWING&CO., and Ushitora Brewery joining in, the range of tasting options is really broad.
MugiOhh! But what does last order mean? Is that like the signal to stop drinking there?
Hop BroExactly. In simple terms, it's the final time to place an order. On the 25th it's 11:00 to 21:00, and on the 26th it's 11:00 to 20:00, so after that they won't take any more orders.
MugiI see! And if it's only a 3-minute walk from Chiba Minato Station, the access is amazing too, so you can just drop by!
Hop BroExactly. The harbor atmosphere adds to it, so the appeal isn't just the beer itself - you can enjoy the feel of the venue too.
MugiAnd there'll be food that pairs well with beer too, right? The moment I heard that, my stomach entered the festival before I did!
Hop BroThat's how these events go - it's easy to focus only on drinking, but pairing beer with food really shows off how the flavor transforms.
MugiGetting to toast in springtime Chiba with local breweries sounds amazing. I'm already totally ready to go on the day!
Hop BroThat's the spirit. If you have a drink while feeling the breeze at the harbor, I'm sure you'll end up thinking spring in Chiba tastes great.
