MugiWhat? Imported beer at a brewery? Does that mean beers from around the world all in one place?
Hop BroExactly. It’s an event where you can take your time trying imported beers from around the world, one by one, in a free-form tasting.
MugiOne by one? So it’s not an all-you-can-drink beer relay race where we run around clutching mugs?
Hop BroRunning would knock the bubbles out! This isn’t all-you-can-drink; it’s a guided tasting format for noticing differences in aroma and flavor.
Mugi“Tasting” suddenly sounds so professional! What does following the flavor even mean?
Hop BroIt’s easy. Smell it first, take a sip, then compare bitterness, sweetness, and finish. Think of it as a food tasting for beer.
MugiOoh! We might discover countries and styles we’d never usually choose. I’m the type who falls for a label first!
Hop BroThat’s a perfectly good starting point. The 4,500-yen fee also includes dishes made with Iwate ingredients, for beer-and-food pairing.
MugiLocal ingredients too? Imported beer and Iwate food sounds like an international snack summit!
Hop BroThe venue is Morioka central district’s first microbrewery, produced by Baeren Brewery. Since it includes a brewery, you can enjoy the atmosphere of on-site brewing too. Capacity is 30, so booking is recommended.
