Eni-Brew spotlights Minoh Beer's Hoppy Weizen and an Okinawan beer night
On August 8, Eni-Brew, a beer pub in Naka-mozu, Sakai, Osaka, highlighted Minoh Beer's limited-release Hoppy Weizen. The venue will stay open through the Obon holiday except August 10, and will launch an Okinawan beer-and-food event from August 11.
Hop BroToday’s Anybrew lineup is looking seriously strong. They just brought in Minoh Beer’s limited brew, Hoppy Weizen.
MugiWait, Hoppy Weizen sounds like two beers arguing in one glass! Is it a weizen? Is it super hoppy? Which is it!?
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it’s fun. The style is a wheat-style weizen, but it layers classic banana and clove notes with bright hop character.
MugiHold on, clove aroma? Why did the spice rack suddenly join the beer conversation? Are we brewing curry now!?
Hop BroNot curry. That note comes from the yeast, so think soft spice rather than actual seasoning. Then Strata brings peach and lychee, and Nelson Sauvin adds a white grape note on top.
MugiOhhh, so it’s like a fruit platter vibe, but still clearly a weizen. That sounds fancy without being intimidating!
Hop BroAnd Anybrew’s draft list is stacked too. They’ve got beers from Shiga Kogen, Nara Brewing, and T.Y HARBOR BREWERY, so it’s basically a taproom tasting paradise.
MugiWhat is this, a festival on tap? And they even have Swan Lake Beer’s 29th anniversary bottle Rouge Cerise. That’s ridiculously unfair in the best way.
Hop BroIt gets better. From August 11 to 16, they’re running an Okinawa beer night with Orion plus HEAVY SASORI BREWING, MAHOW BREWING, and Fill BREWING, paired with mozuku tempura and rafute.
MugiThat settles it. Start me with one Hoppy Weizen, let me chase it with Okinawan beer and rafute, and I’m officially ready to go drinking immediately.
