Ibusuki Brewery Announces Mugi to Niwa Drink Offerings for Its First Anniversary Festival
Ibusuki Brewery has used Instagram to preview what Mugi to Niwa will be serving at the first anniversary festival held at the brewery on the former Tokumitsu Elementary School site and at the former-school kitchen Mugi to Niwa. The lineup includes four draft beers, tasting sets, soft drinks, and more, giving a clear picture of how to enjoy the venue.
Hop BroIbusuki's Ibusuki Brewery has announced what Mugi to Niwa will be serving for its 1st anniversary festival. It's a brewery on the former Tokumitsu Elementary School site, and the fun part is that you can taste the memories of the school building too.
MugiWhat! You can drink beer in a former school kitchen!? A school building probably feels like it still has the smell of school lunch and the echo of the bell, which is kind of exciting!
Hop BroExactly. At the adjoining Mugi to Niwa booth, they'll be offering beer and soft drinks at 1st-anniversary prices on the day. It's nice that the event's main attraction comes through clearly, starting with the drinks.
MugiSeriously? Four kinds of draft beer? That's a lot to line up. But IPA and lager alone make my head feel a little floaty already.
Hop BroThe lineup is IPA, lager, Kölsch, and orange ale. IPA has a solid bitterness, lager is crisp, Kölsch is light and smooth, and orange ale has a citrusy character. They all have very different personalities.
MugiWow! If there are 3-beer and 4-beer tasting sets, I might actually be able to compare the differences! But if I go for four, I might lose track of which classroom I'm in halfway through!
Hop BroThat works out just fine, since it is a school building. And they also have coffee floats and cream soda, so even people who aren't into beer can enjoy it.
MugiOh wow, the soft drink selection is great! That's the kind of place where you can go with friends and proudly say, 'I'm on team soda!'
Hop BroAlso, on the day, they're selling drinks only, and food will be enjoyed on the food court side or via separate routes. Keeping the drinking area and eating area apart also gives you more to enjoy as you walk around the venue.
MugiIt feels like the whole event is built around the memories of the school building. For the 1st anniversary festival on Sunday, May 17, it seems like you'll be able to taste memories along with the drinks, not just have a drink.
Hop BroYeah, Sunday, May 17 is going to be pretty hot. If we go check out how well Ibusuki's land and beer go together at Mugi to Niwa, I bet we'll both end up saying, 'One more drink.'
In Ibusuki City, Ibusuki Brewery is cultivating a new food and drink destination at the former Tokumitsu Elementary School site as a craft beer brewery, preserving memories of the school building while creating something new. At the adjoining Former School Kitchen Mugi to Niwa, it highlights meals made with local ingredients paired with craft beer, making the former school itself part of the experience.
What was announced on Instagram this time was the booth lineup for the 1st anniversary festival at Mugi to Niwa. On the day of the event, beer and soft drinks will be offered at 1st-anniversary prices at the Mugi to Niwa booth. The lineup includes draft beers of IPA, lager, Kölsch, and orange ale, plus 3-beer and 4-beer tasting sets, soft drinks, coffee floats, and cream soda. According to the announcement, only drinks will be sold that day, while food will be enjoyed on the food court side or through other routes within the venue.
The brewery's official website says a 1st anniversary event is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, with booths using second-floor classrooms and live performances, as well as outdoor food trucks and a food court. In a space that makes use of the former school, the structure that brings together local vendors and visitors around craft beer is a fitting anniversary project for this brewery. Against the backdrop of Ibusuki's land and the memories of the school building, how beer and food are presented is the question. That answer also comes through in this latest booth introduction.
