Hop BroAt the Sapporo beer pub, Beer Cellar Sapporo Main Store, there will be "HERBY 2026" on April 11. And the main attraction is Streetlight Brewing × hilltop herbs' Lemongrass Lager. Hearing that it's the "last keg" definitely makes you curious, right?
MugiWhat! Is the last keg really that rare? That alone makes me want to sprint over!
Hop BroExactly. Lager is known for being crisp and light, and when lemongrass aroma comes in on top of that, it becomes instantly refreshing. It's the kind of beer that feels great to drink in springtime Sapporo.
MugiWhen I hear lager, I kind of imagine something bitter and heavy. Is that not the case?
Hop BroThat's an easy misunderstanding, but lager is a beer made with bottom fermentation, slowly fermented at low temperatures. Because of that, it tends to have less roughness, and herbal aromas like the ones in this beer come through beautifully.
MugiOhh! So the lemongrass aroma will really stand out like a star ingredient! It sounds like something that would make my nose happy before I even drink it!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the venue has free admission, with beer, food, merchandise, and music all in one place. Events like this are the kind where you suddenly find yourself staying for hours.
MugiWhat! Now I'm curious about the food too! BRISKET BANH BAO already sounds way too delicious just from the name!
Hop BroBIA HOI Katakoto will be in charge, and they will serve Vietnamese-style street food that pairs well with beer. There will also be beers like Hobo Brewing and Streetlight Brewing, so there's plenty of fun in comparing them too.
MugiAnd there are pop-ups too? That's unfair! If I can look at clothes, tableware, and records too, then it's not just a beer stop anymore, it's a full day out.
Hop BroExactly. What makes HERBY 2026 great is that you can enjoy the culture around the beer, not just the drinking itself. I'd like to take my time enjoying spring in Sapporo with a glass of the last keg of Lemongrass Lager in hand.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go! I'll make sure to arrive early so I don't miss the last glass, and I want a taste of spring too!
