Hop BroI want to talk about Tohoku Craft Beer Fest Akita 2026. It runs from June 12 to June 14 in Akita, and it looks seriously strong.
MugiWait, more than 50 beers are going to be there? That is the kind of news that instantly deletes my weekend plans!
Hop BroAnd one of the vendors is Restaurant Platz. It is a beer pub in Omachi, Akita, and the event takes place at Nigiwai Hiroba in Area Nakaichi.
MugiNo way, the meat festival too? So beer is there, meat is there, and my self-control is absolutely not there!
Hop BroExactly. Looking at the Akita Acula Beer lineup, Namahage IPA sits alongside Akita Bijin no Beer, Akitakomachi IPL, and Sakihokore Brut IPA, so the local character really comes through.
MugiWhat even is Akitakomachi IPL? It sounds less like a beer and more like a rice-powered superhero move! Is IPL related to IPA?
Hop BroPretty close. It is brewed with lager yeast, so you still get hop aroma like an IPA, but the finish tends to be cleaner and easier to drink.
MugiOkay, then what kind of creature is Brut IPA? The name sounds like it showed up in formal wear!
Hop BroThink of it as a crisp dry IPA. It drinks light, keeps the aroma lively, and works really well with food.
MugiAnd there are 15 breweries joining from Tohoku and Hokkaido, right? If I start comparing beers there, my excitement is hitting round two before I do!
Hop BroExactly. I want to start at the Platz booth, grab something distinctly Akita, and work through it with meat on the side. This absolutely makes me want a drink.
