MugiWait, BENTO Hazy is beer, even though it sounds like a lunch box!?
Hop BroExactly. The name is playful, but the contents are a proper event-exclusive pour, perfect for a nice outdoor beer day.
MugiI know a hazy beer is, like, a cloudy beer, but is it really that different?
Hop BroHazy isn’t just about appearance. The idea is to bring hop aroma to the front and lean into a juicy mouthfeel. That’s the technical version.
MugiWhoa, suddenly you sound like an expert! But if the aroma is the star, then it sounds easy for me to drink too!
Hop BroAnd Matsudo Beer’s station-front taproom, just a three-minute walk from the east exit of JR Matsudo Station, is open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so you can drink at the venue and then have another one there.
MugiWait, that’s basically the perfect bar-hopping setup! Beer hopping sounds too fun!
Hop BroMatsudo Beer also uses local fruit and rice, so it really has that feeling of community-rooted brewing.
MugiThat’s such a nice story... it feels like you can drink in the air of Matsudo itself. A local glass like that is precious.
Hop BroAnd this festival runs for seven days from April 30 to May 6, so I’d want to pick my day carefully during the holiday break.
MugiAll right, I’m going to start with BENTO Hazy and then go all out bar-hopping straight to the taproom!
Matsudo Beer used Instagram to announce its booth at "Matsudo Craft Beer with Hashigo-zake," which is being held around Matsudo Station.
