Hop BroBeer Stand Amberlond in Honcho, Aoba Ward, Sendai, will open at 4:00 p.m. on May 14 and 15. With 10 taps available as of the 14th, it’s a lineup that’s fun just to look at.
MugiWhat, 10 taps!? If that many are lined up, I’d get dizzy just trying to decide what to order!
Hop BroAnd the highlight is the tap-opening of Be Easy Brewing’s Aomori Lager. It’s a pilsner made with New Zealand hops that they release only in Aomori, and this time it’s being served here too as part of the brewery’s 10th anniversary.
MugiNew Zealand hops? What even is that! And now you’re throwing in the word pilsner too, so we’ve got a full-blown beer-terminology traffic jam going on!
Hop BroSimply put, a pilsner is a crisp, easy-drinking lager style, and NZ hops are hops from New Zealand. So you get clean bitterness and aroma, which makes Aomori Lager sharp and refreshing to drink.
MugiGot it! And Be Easy Brewing has a strong lineup of multiple labels too. Aomori Ale, Tohoku 6 Hop Hazy IPA, and even Atohadari Sudachi Wheat? That’s a flavor journey all the way from Aomori!
Hop BroExactly. And with West Coast Brewing, Pizza Port, Dieu du Ciel!, Trillium Brewing Company, and Weihenstephan in the mix too, it’s a lineup that makes tasting beers from Japan and abroad feel especially satisfying.
MugiWait, you can go on that much of a world tour in Sendai? And on May 16 they’re doing their first lunch service? That’s way too serious for a beer bar!
Hop BroOn May 16, they’ll operate from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Aoba Festival, with sets of Towada bara-yaki, Amberlond grilled dumplings, and fried chicken, plus barley rice, miso soup, ohitashi, and pickles. And the best part is that there’s no lunch cover charge, and you can even stop in just for beer.
MugiThat’s the best! And if they’re opening the outdoor space on May 16 and 17 too, they’re almost too reliable as a catch-all for the festival crowd. I already feel like having a midday toast with Aomori Lager!
Hop BroHolding back the festival crowd in Honcho while pouring a glass of Aomori Lager sounds great, doesn’t it? Kotodai Park and Nishi Park are both nearby, so I’m ready to make my throat rumble right now.
