Hop BroA beer bringing Izu and Fujinomiya ingredients together is on the way: a first collaboration beer from Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji and Fujiyama Hunters Beer.
MugiWhat? A Fujinomiya brewery teaming up with one in Izu? That’s a local-ingredient duet—I already want a glass!
Hop BroOne star ingredient is wheat and barley grown in Fujinomiya and malted in-house by Fujiyama Hunters Beer.
MugiMalted? What is that? Is it like a beauty salon for grain?
Hop BroCute idea, but not quite! Malting prepares grain for brewing through controlled processing, so it’s basically beer’s essential prep work.
MugiWow! And it isn’t only about the grain, right? Baird Beer is contributing its estate-grown hops, too!
Hop BroExactly. Hops grown in Izu could give the aroma and bitterness a real sense of place. It’s a beer with an origin story.
MugiBut the beer name, style, and ABV are all still secret? That is expert-level teasing!
Hop BroThose details will come later. It’s planned for a harvest festival, where we can taste the collaboration firsthand.
MugiLet’s keep an eye out for the festival announcement! I can’t wait to toast the Izu-and-Fujinomiya harvest—bring on beer time!
