Kawada Mojiyaki-ten pop-up set for Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing's Taproom Beer Fridge on August 15
Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing / Taproom Beer Fridge in Aizu-Tajima will host a Kawada Mojiyaki-ten pop-up on Saturday, August 15, from 12:00 to 21:00. Visitors can pair the event with the brewery's house beers in a relaxed taproom setting.
Hop BroThis one's a pop-up on August 15. Kawada Monjayaki Shop is taking over Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing / Taproom Beer Fridge for a day of house beer and monjayaki.
MugiWait, beer with monjayaki? That already sounds unfairly good. Even the name Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing tastes like mountain air.
Hop BroExactly. The venue is a brewpub in Aizu-Tajima, and it's running from 12:00 to 21:00. Freshly brewed beer on-site is a serious advantage.
MugiHold on, what's a brewpub? That word sounded cool enough to make me nod, but I definitely need subtitles.
Hop BroIt means they brew the beer in the same place they serve it. So you're basically drinking it at the source, while the taproom side stays casual and easy to drop into.
MugiAnd the beer list is a lineup of heavy hitters. BOGEN, POWPOW, NDA, Hey Ya, MinamiAizu IPA, MinamiAizu PALE ALE... those names alone are doing cardio.
Hop BroBOGEN is the flagship pour, POWPOW carries that snowy-country vibe, NDA riffs on local language, and Hey Ya uses sake rice. Then you've got approachable styles like IPA and pale ale too.
MugiRice for sake in beer? What is this, a crossover episode with traditional brewing sneaking into a pint glass?
Hop BroPretty much as an adjunct. It can give the beer a crisp, light finish, which makes it easier to pair with savory food like monjayaki.
MugiOkay, then I want the tasting-flight route. Start with the gentler pale ale, grab some monjayaki in between, then level up to the IPA.
Hop BroThat's the move. It's close to the station, and I can already picture us finishing with Hey Ya after working through the taps and the food.
MugiSold. August 15 is officially a daytime beer mission, and I'm showing up fully prepared for monjayaki support duty.
