MugiWhoa! So they're debuting a lemon beer? And the event is at the brewery itself? If I went, I'd probably get swept right into celebration mode!
Hop BroExactly, and it's not just any lemon. They're using homegrown Meyer lemons. With the lemon aroma and gentle acidity blended with honey's mellow sweetness, it's basically a glass with beautifully layered fruit character.
MugiLayers? What do you mean by that! Layered fruit character? Are they putting multiple outfits on the beer or something?
Hop BroNot outfits, but the vibe is close. It's all about stacking adjuncts so you can sense the brightness of the lemon, the acidity, and the roundness of the honey in sequence. It should drink light, but still leave a clear personality in the finish.
MugiOhhh! And Honey Forest Brewing really values Minamiosumi Town ingredients, right? Local fruit and domestic honey already sound delicious just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the good part. Even their regular Sun Sun ALE combines local citrus and honey, and this Our Fruits ALE Lemon is a commemorative brew that sits squarely on the brand's established path.
MugiWow, that's amazing. Their concept never wavers! And the fact that the star ingredient is lemon they've been growing for five years means this is more of a story than just a beer!
Hop BroExactly. A 5th anniversary isn't just a milestone; it's a day to show a beer built from layers of effort. The work a female brewer has continued in the southernmost town on the mainland comes through directly in the flavor, and that's what makes it special.
MugiAnd there'll be local food stalls at the venue too, right? If there's grilled meat, smoked cheese, bread, and wine all in one place, that's the kind of event you can never leave!
Hop BroWith Okaeri Ichiba, Tom's Smoke, Uchu Bakery, and Hanaze Winery all there, it'll be a pairing paradise. Charcoal-grilled food with lemon acidity, smoked cheese with honeyed notes just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
MugiWow, then May 3 is a day to head to Minamiosumi Town! Just imagining the lemon aroma is making me want a drink already!
Hop BroIn the end, I think I'd want to toast with Our Fruits ALE Lemon. I'd like to enjoy that day while tasting the scenery of Minamiosumi Town itself.
A day to mark the 5th anniversary
Honey Forest Brewing, based in Minamiosumi Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, will hold an event to celebrate its 5th anniversary on Sunday, May 3, from 12:00 to 19:00. The venue will be the brewery itself, and it is being presented as a special day filled with gratitude for everything that has come before.
New release features Meyer lemon beer
On the day, a new commemorative beer, Our Fruits ALE Lemon, will make its debut. The beer uses homegrown Meyer lemons that have been cultivated since five years ago as an adjunct ingredient, creating a glass that combines the fresh aroma of lemon, a gentle acidity, and the mellow sweetness of honey. Honey Forest Brewing has continued making beer that makes use of fruits from Minamiosumi Town and domestically produced honey, and this commemorative brew is a continuation of that approach.
Local flavors will gather too
Participating stalls at the venue will include Okaeri Ichiba, Tom's Smoke, Uchu Bakery, and Hanaze Winery. The lineup will feature charcoal-grilled meats, smoked cheese, bread, wine, and more, all meant to be enjoyed alongside the beer. Set in Minamiosumi Town, surrounded by greenery and the sea, the event looks set to be a milestone celebration true to a brewery that has valued local ingredients.
Honey Forest Brewing is a craft beer workshop run by a female brewer in Minamiosumi Town, the southernmost town on the Japanese mainland. Its standard Sun Sun ALE also combines local citrus and honey, and this event will also offer a chance to learn about the background behind that brewing philosophy.
