MugiWait, you can drink draft beer at a department store? That sounds like the kind of place I'd stop at before I even start shopping!
Hop BroExactly. There'll be about 10 kinds of beer at the venue, so you can either take them home or drink them there. Being able to pair them with food in the eat-in space is a big plus.
MugiHuh, I wonder what kind of flavors they'll bring. Will they all be different?
Hop BroNorth Island Beer is a brewery in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, and it promotes "Beer is Art". The sensibility of the brewer who trained in Canada comes through, and both the regular beers and the limited ones have a clear core.
MugiWhoa, that suddenly sounds cool! But "Beer is Art" makes me feel like I should brace myself a little as a drinker, doesn't it?
Hop BroSimply put, it means not just making beer, but turning flavor into a work of art. It's about balancing aroma, bitterness, and the finish so it becomes something genuinely enjoyable to drink.
MugiI see! Then having both the five regular beers and the limited releases sounds incredibly fun!
Hop BroAnd this fair also has Hokkaido soft-serve ice cream and shrimp gourmet dishes, so it's great that you can drink it together with Hokkaido food. It pairs well with both sweet items and savory ones.
MugiWait, shrimp, beer, and soft-serve too? That's such a greedy set that my stomach might enter the venue before I do!
Hop BroA glass that travels from Ebetsu to Kobe really gives off the feeling of a traveling beer because you can feel the distance. If you drink it as draft beer at the venue, it feels like you can taste the whole atmosphere of the event too.
MugiYeah, this makes me want to go drink! I feel like chasing North Island Beer together with Hokkaido flavors.
An Ebetsu Brewery Appears at Kobe Hankyu
North Island Beer will exhibit at the "Early Summer Hokkaido Products Fair" held in the event hall on the 9th floor of Kobe Hankyu (Chuo Ward, Kobe City). The event runs from May 13 to 19, and about 10 kinds of craft beer will be on offer at the venue. In addition to take-home sales, a key feature is that visitors can enjoy draft beer on the spot, and the eat-in space also allows food purchased at the venue to be brought in and paired with the beer.
This fair is being planned as an early-summer product event centered on Hokkaido soft-serve ice cream and shrimp gourmet dishes. In the style of a department store event, it is designed so visitors can enjoy not only beer but also flavors from all over Hokkaido at once, making it a good match for those who want to enjoy a meal together with craft beer.
