Hop BroSummer just got interesting: Beer Train Kuniumi-go is running on August 29 on Omi Railway.
MugiWait, the train is basically a rolling beer party?!
Hop BroThe featured brewery is くにうみ酸造所 in Taga, Shiga, and they announced it on Instagram.
MugiNice! But this isn't a new beer release story?
Hop BroThat's the key: it's an event announcement. Instead of one named beer or style, the focus is the brewery-and-railway experience.
MugiOkay, but with a brewery tour, can a beginner like me survive words like what is a fermenter?
Hop BroAbsolutely. A fermenter is basically a giant tank for growing beer, and seeing the brewing floor is half the fun.
MugiDrink on the train, tour the brewery, and there are only a few seats left? That's absurdly tempting.
Hop BroNo surprise it's become a yearly tradition. Local beer meets local railway is the kind of pairing that makes me thirsty already.
MugiSame. August 29 just turned into a must-drink day for me.
