Hop BroToday, it's new news from Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer. They're serving Ringo Ale Jonagold ALE made with Iwate-grown Jonagold apples in Shibuya, so that's definitely something to be curious about.
MugiWhoa! So it's an apple beer? Is apple ale sweet like juice?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. This one is characterized by a bright aroma and a clean finish, aiming for an ale-like balance instead of leaning only into sweetness.
MugiHuh~! But what's an ale? It suddenly sounds like a spell from the beer world!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a beer fermented by yeast working near the top, which is called top fermentation. That makes the aroma more pronounced, so it pairs well with the apple fragrance in this one.
MugiI get it! So the Jonagold aroma kind of floats up, right? Fruit and beer actually get along pretty well!
Hop BroExactly, and this time it's a collaboration with HasKK Co.. It's also a pretty interesting project in how it brings local ingredients into an urban event.
MugiAnd the venue is Shibuya Cast. Garden? That's super urban! It feels like such a contrast to have an apple beer showing up in Shibuya!
Hop BroIt will be served on April 29 from 10:00 to 20:30, and admission is free. The key point is that you can enjoy the atmosphere of a local festival right in the middle of Shibuya.
MugiTokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer is brewed on a site that was once a juice factory from the late Meiji era, right? Serving an apple beer there connects back to that history, which is lovely!
Hop BroExactly. A brewery with roots in Kotoura Town, Tottori, is bringing a drink that makes use of local ingredients to the city, so this is definitely one you'd want to try on the day.
MugiOkay, now I totally want to drink it! Just hearing apple ale in Shibuya makes me want to get pulled straight to the event venue!

Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer began brewing in 2022 at the izakaya "Sake House Gin" in Kotoura Town. According to its official website, the brewery is located on a site that once housed a juice factory in the late Meiji era, with a history of producing ramune, coffee, and orange juice. Today, it brews craft beer there and aims to offer everyday drinks that make use of local ingredients.
This apple ale can be seen as a beer from a brewery with that background, bringing out the appeal of fruit for an event in the city center. Within the context of a local festival, attention will also be on how ingredients from different regions are expressed in the beer served that day.
