Hop BroAt cosa SHIZUOKA right by Shizuoka Station on August 8, DROP -Beer Edition- is happening, and Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing is joining. That is not one to miss.
MugiWhat! A brewery from Fukushima is coming to Shizuoka? Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing sounds cool, but what kind of place is it?
Hop BroIt is a brewpub in Minamiaizu, and they also serve their house-made beer at the attached Taproom BeerFridge. The featured beer this time is Minamiaizu IPA.
MugiWhoa, but when the article says sharply defined IPA, why does that sound like art class instead of beer?
Hop BroThat is about how the flavor presents itself. It means the bitterness and aroma stay clear instead of muddy. You get hop-driven bitterness layered with citrus notes like orange and tangerine.
MugiWhat is that! It sounds like a full citrus attack with a bitter parade marching across my mouth!
Hop BroBest part is that you can talk directly with the brewer and staff while they pour. It is basically pour-and-chat tasting, so the story behind the beer becomes part of the experience.
MugiAnd Passific Brewing, Nara Brewing, and Yorocco Beer are there too? Four breweries together is way too strong for a daytime event!
Hop BroThe event runs from 12:00 to 7:30 p.m., last order is 7:00, and advance tickets are 2,800 yen while door tickets are 3,000 yen, both with 10 DROP coins included. A coin-based event makes it easy to compare beers.
MugiIt is right by Shizuoka Station, and you can pair the beers with food from the cosa food hall? Perfect. Just imagining Minamiaizu IPA with food is making me thirsty already!
Hop BroThen the first glass has to be Minamiaizu IPA. A taste of Minamiaizu in Shizuoka sounds like something I want to drink right now.

A Beer From Minamiaizu
Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing is a brewpub in Aizutajima, Minamiaizu Town, Fukushima. Its attached taproom, BeerFridge, serves the brewery's own beers, making it a local stop where the setting and the beer are closely linked. For this event, the brewery is bringing Minamiaizu IPA, described as an IPA with hop-driven bitterness and citrus notes of orange and tangerine. It is a clear example of the brewery's straightforward, hop-forward character.
Food Pairings
The event is also set up for free pairings with the food hall's vendors. Because brewers and staff will be serving directly at the booths, visitors can compare each brewery's style side by side. It should appeal both to people traveling for the event and to locals who want to understand the brewery's background along with the beer.
