ForestBrewing to join the Sendai Craft Beer Festival with limited releases
ForestBrewing of Miyagi’s Kawasaki Town announced on Instagram that it will take part in the Sendai Craft Beer Festival again this year, bringing multiple limited beers to Kotodai Park.
Hop BroToday's topic is the Sendai Craft Beer Festival. Forest Brewing says it's joining again this year with a big lineup of limited beers.
MugiWhat! A big lineup of limited beers? The kind you can only drink there? I'm ready to run already!
Hop BroExactly. Forest Brewing from Miyagi announced it on Instagram, and they're promising a special experience at a venue packed with breweries from across Tohoku.
MugiOooh! And if it's at Kotodai Park, that means full summer festival mode with food in one hand and beer in the other!
Hop BroAnd this brewery started brewing in Kawasaki Town in May 2023, with a wide range like German Pilsner and IPA.
MugiHold on, German Pilsner suddenly sounds like test prep. Can you explain it in delicious-person language?
Hop BroBasically, it's a crisp pale lager. Helles is softer, Weizen gets that fluffy wheat character, and IPA goes big on hop aroma.
MugiNo way! And the festival exclusives still have no beer names announced, but I'm already mentally on my second glass!
Hop BroWhat makes them even more interesting is the circular brewing setup. Wood scraps from the firewood operation become heat, and the local snowmelt from the Zao range adds real regional character.
MugiWait, what does circular mean? Wood scraps as heat? Even the trees have jobs now? They're working harder than I am!
Hop BroRight, it means using what would be thrown away. Keeping resources in the loop gives the brewery character not just in flavor, but in how it brews, and now I want a tasting flight.
MugiWow! Spending Obon in Sendai, hopping between Tohoku breweries and chasing a beer you can only get there sounds perfect. I totally want a drink now!
In an Instagram post on August 11, ForestBrewing said it will join the Sendai Craft Beer Festival, one of Sendai’s summer beer events. The brewery described the gathering as a place where breweries from across Tohoku come together and said it plans to line up multiple limited beers for a special experience only available at the venue.
The event is set to be enjoyed at Kotodai Park with food under the summer sky, and the post also encouraged visitors during the Obon holiday period. The message positions ForestBrewing as part of the festival’s regional mix while highlighting its own beer character.
Based in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi, ForestBrewing began brewing in May 2023 after starting from a firewood production business. The brewery sits upstream of the Kamafusa Dam area, where meltwater from the Zao mountains flows in, and it also uses wood scraps from its adjacent firewood operation as a heat source. Its official lineup includes German Pilsner, Helles, IPA and Weizen, showing a broad range from lagers to hop-forward and wheat styles.
