The Beer Shop Hirakata city to Feature Naminoto Brewing on April 25 and 26
Naminoto Brewing, from Minamiawaji City in Hyogo, will appear at a feature event at The Beer Shop Hirakata city over the two days of April 25 and 26. In addition to nine draft beers, canned beers and items made with ingredients from Awaji Island will also be on hand.
Hop BroThe Beer Shop Hirakata city is hosting a Naminoto Brewing feature on April 25 and 26. It feels like they're bringing the whole Awaji Island atmosphere with them, so this is not something to miss.
MugiWait, it's the second year in a row? If they're being pushed that much, it must be a really popular brewery!
Hop BroExactly, and this time they're planning to line up nine draft beers plus canned beer. It's a pretty luxurious event, and there's a lot to compare and taste.
MugiNine draft beers just makes my head go floaty! So it's basically a paradise for beer comparisons?
Hop BroThat's exactly it. Naminoto's strength is how it uses Awaji Island ingredients, and for example, they have a beer made with Naruto oranges.
MugiNaruto oranges are a fruit, right? And they make beer with them? Just hearing Naruto orange use makes me curious!
Hop BroAnd this time they also have distinctive beers like a koji-based hazy IPA. When the hop aroma and the soft haze overlap with the nuance of koji, it gets interesting.
MugiKoji too!? At that point, it sounds less like a beer conversation and more like a cooking show!
Hop BroBut that's what makes Naminoto so interesting. They even use Awaji Island barley, wheat, and sea salt, and really bring the taste of the land into the beer.
MugiAnd they even have an onion UFO catcher? That's cheating! It sounds fun even before you start drinking!
Hop BroRight? If you can enjoy beer, goods, and Awaji Island ingredients on the weekend before Golden Week, there's no choice but to want to go.
MugiYeah, I really want to go and drink! I want to check Naminoto's character for myself in a glass!
Introducing Awaji Island Craft Beer Over Two Days
The Beer Shop Hirakata city will hold an event featuring Awaji Island's Naminoto Brewing over the two days of Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26. In its post, the shop describes it as a second straight year of the event following last year, and this time it plans to offer nine draft beers and canned beer.
Naminoto Brewing is a brewery based in Minamiawaji City, Hyogo Prefecture. On its official website, it promotes beer making that makes use of ingredients from Awaji Island; for example, its "Naruto Orange Belgian White" uses Naruto oranges from Awaji Island. It also offers a koji-based hazy IPA, as well as beers incorporating Awaji Island barley, wheat, and sea salt, and its defining feature is its approach of connecting local ingredients with beer.
This event will also strongly reflect that direction. According to the announcement, not only beer but also brewery goods and Awaji Island ingredients and related products are slated to be available. A gachapon-style prize wheel you can spin for every 2,000 yen spent and the return of the onion UFO catcher, which also drew attention last year, have also been announced, making it a setup you can enjoy across the whole sales floor, not just by drinking.
The event takes place on the weekend before Golden Week. As the Minamiawaji brewery steps a little away from its everyday brewing, what expressions of beer will it line up? As an entry point to getting to know Naminoto Brewing's character, this is an event worth watching.
