Zao Brewery seeks monitor participants for a free ZAO BEER Road tour
Zao Brewery is recruiting a free monitor pair for its collaborative "ZAO BEER Road Tour" with Michi-no-Eki Yamagata Zao. The offer is limited to one pair of women who can join on the afternoon of June 27, and the usual 8,000-yen tour will be free.
Hop BroI’ve got a Yamagata story for you today. The ZAO BEER Road Tour is looking for free trial participants, and honestly, it sounds pretty great.
MugiFree trial participants? Wait, what, that means you can join for free!? That’s basically a reward event for craft beer fans!
Hop BroExactly. The star here is Zao Brewery. They’re teaming up with Roadside Station Yamagata Zao and recruiting one pair of women who can join on the afternoon of Saturday, June 27.
MugiOh wow, a pair of women means I could bring a friend! Photos, videos, memories, the whole package!
Hop BroAnd this one is really experience-focused. Instead of pushing one specific beer name, the tour has you walk through Zao’s nature, then finish with a brewery tour, craft beer, and light food.
MugiHold on, what does beer style even mean? I hear IPA and lager all the time, but if that’s on a test, I’m failing.
Hop BroA style is just the type of beer. Here, the brewery tour is the star, and you even get to hear about how they use Zao spring water in the brewing process.
MugiWhat is that! They even talk about the brewing water!? So it’s not just staring at tanks, you actually get the behind-the-scenes flavor story too!
Hop BroThat’s the good part. Zao Brewery is Yamagata City’s first brewery, and being able to serve super-fresh beer is a real strength. Having Crang Dining attached doesn’t hurt either.
MugiThere are real conditions too, right? Like one person must drink beer, and you need to be flexible if the schedule shifts because of weather. This picnic means business!
Hop BroRight. To apply, you just send “Monitor Request” by Instagram DM. Normally it’s 8,000 yen per person, so making it free is generous enough that I want a beer already.
MugiWalk, learn, then toast at the end? That’s a throat-tingling course if I’ve ever heard one! Now I want to go drink craft beer with the Zao scenery included!
Zao Brewery is recruiting monitor participants for its collaborative "ZAO BEER Road Tour" with Michi-no-Eki Yamagata Zao. The open call is for one pair of women who can join on the afternoon of June 27 and cooperate with photo and video shooting.
According to the post, the tour includes a walk through Zao with a guide to rediscover the area's appeal, followed by a brewery visit at Zao Brewery. Participants can also enjoy craft beer and a light meal at the destination. The brewery notes that one of the two participants must be able to drink beer, and that they should be able to respond to possible schedule changes depending on the weather. The usual tour price is 8,000 yen per person, but the monitor program allows participants to experience it for free.
Zao Brewery is described on its official website as Yamagata City's first craft brewery. Located in Zao-Ueno, Yamagata City, the brewery uses spring water nurtured by the natural environment of Zao as brewing water and serves freshly brewed beer. Its attached restaurant, Crang Dining, offers dishes designed to pair with the beer.
The program is positioned as more than a beer tasting: it combines local scenery, a walking experience, and a visit to the brewery itself. Interested applicants can send the message "モニター希望" via Instagram DM.
