Flora Fermentation, based in Higashiomi, Shiga, has announced it will take part in SHOTOKU BEER GARDEN at Taishi Hall on July 25. Held as a supporting event for the Shotoku Festival, the gathering will pair Shiga craft beer with food from noon.
Hop BroTomorrow in Higashiomi, it’s SHOTOKU BEER GARDEN. Flora Fermentation is setting up at Taishi Hall on July 25, and that’s a pretty solid reason to pay attention.
MugiWait, starting at 12:00 PM? Daytime craft beer and food sounds dangerously perfect!
Hop BroThe big point is that Flora Fermentation is a farm-and-fermentation brewery. They’re based in Higashiomi, Shiga, and they go deep on ingredients, including growing barley and using homegrown hops.
MugiWhat even is homegrown hops in cool-person terms? It sounds impressive, but I need the beginner version!
Hop BroHere’s the simple version: from ingredients to brewing being connected in-house makes it easier to express the place itself in the beer. That’s basically terroir.
MugiThere it is, what is terroir!? You went from beer guy to fancy beverage philosopher in two seconds!
Hop BroIt just means the taste of the place. Like the beer carries a little of the local field and climate with it, and that’s the part beer nerds love.
MugiOoh, and the article says HINO BREWING next door, right? That makes the side-by-side tasting plan almost too powerful!
Hop BroExactly. The article doesn’t list specific beers or styles yet, but that mystery kind of helps. Add music, local food, and Shiga craft beer, and the setup is doing its job already.
MugiA festival crowd, Shiga craft beer, and a daytime pour? Yeah, now I really want a glass in my hand.
