MugiWow, with lots of food booths too, it sounds like the beer-snack traffic jam is going to be intense!
Hop BroAnd as the name suggests, Honeycomb&Hopworks specializes in honey beer made with honey.
MugiDoes honey beer turn into something like a sweet juice? Or is it actually beer!?

MugiOhhh, drinking a beer from a city brewery at a station-front plaza sounds so luxurious!
Hop BroNormally you'd go all the way to Kamiochiai in Shinjuku, but with a festival, the nice part is getting a sense of the flavor profile first.
MugiThen I want to try it with food! It makes me want to toast at the venue with the lingering finish of honey!
