Yatsugatake Brewery announces a factory-manager TTO at IBREW Ebisu
Yatsugatake Brewery posted on Instagram about a two-day TTO hosted by its factory manager. Tomorrow's session will be held at IBREW Ebisu in Tokyo, with event-only beer, limited food, and kanreki T-shirts available.
Hop BroThis one is all about Yatsugatake Brewery's head brewer TTO. Tomorrow they're taking over the taps at IBREW Ebisu with limited beers on pour.
MugiWait, so I can taste Kiyosato vibes in Tokyo? IBREW Ebisu really goes that hard?
Hop BroIt does. Yatsugatake Brewery sits at 1,230 meters in Kiyosato, and their beer brand is Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN.
MugiWhoa, that name already sounds powerful! But the article said malt-centric brewing, and that sounds like a robot attack move.
Hop BroFair reaction. It just means they push malt flavor first instead of letting hops steal the whole show, so the beer comes across rounder and fuller.
MugiOkay, so less flashy bitterness and more slow-burn delicious? But then I saw decoction method and my brain just clocked out!
Hop BroHere's the deal: decoction is an old-school method where part of the mash gets boiled and returned, a richness-building process that adds depth and clearer structure.
MugiWow, my stomach is clapping already! And they're pouring event-only limited beers too? That is deeply unfair.
Hop BroVery unfair. There'll also be special food, and IBREW is even selling a 60th anniversary T-shirt, so this TTO has way too much going on.
MugiBeer, food, and merch? That's a full field trip! Now I really want to try their German-style lineup in Ebisu.
Hop BroExactly. You get limited pours in the city while tasting their natural water and traditional approach. It's the kind of event that makes you want a pint in Ebisu immediately.
MugiSettled then! I'll handle the drinking, and you handle the lecture. At this point I'm desperate for a sip!
