MugiWait, what is an importer gathering? Does "Until the day of the overseas TTO" mean they are building hype from the day before?
Hop BroExactly. TTO stands for tap takeover, meaning the day the kegs are all switched over at once. This time UNICA is featured, and the flow is all about showcasing Italian breweries.
MugiTap... take... over? My mouth cannot keep up with beer anymore, there are too many technical terms!
Hop BroBasically, the taps belong to the Italian lineup that day. Jungle Juice Brewing, Birrificio La Gramigna, Birrificio War, and Opperbacco are all in the mix, so it is all Italian names lined up, and that gets me fired up.
MugiOhhh! Italy has Italian pilsner too, not just wine?
Hop BroIt does. The hop profile is clean, but the drinking feel is crisp and light, and then you get something like a sour made with wine grapes, so the grape-driven acidity makes it interesting.
MugiA sour with grapes in it is basically a costume party for beer! Fruitiness leaning toward wine sounds kind of tempting...
Hop BroAnd on the day itself, they are planning to pour an Italian grape sour too, so it should end up being really appealing for acidity lovers.
MugiAnd if it keeps going on June 13 and June 27 too, the event streak is going to fill up the calendar.
Hop BroExactly. On Saturday, June 13 there is Kawasaki 5 Breweries Grand Gathering; on Saturday, June 27, Yokohama 5 Breweries Grand Gathering; on Saturday, July 4, Teenage Brewing TTO; on Saturday, July 25, BrewBeast x NOMCRAFT TTO; and sometime in August, Unsung Heroes. There is plenty to look forward to all the way into summer.
MugiThen we really do have to grab a drink in Shibuya! A place you can stop by after work is the best, and now I want to try the Italian one too!
Hop BroThen the answer is settled. Let us toast at the standing bar and enjoy the taste of Italy and its acidity all together.
Importer Introduction for the Overseas TTO
Standing Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO Store is a standing-style beer pub located on B1F of Shibuya PARCO. In this Instagram post, titled "Until the day of the overseas TTO," the store introduces importers in line with the lead-up to the event. The final featured name was `UNICA`, and Italian brewery names such as `Jungle Juice Brewing`, `Birrificio La Gramigna`, `Birrificio War`, and `Opperbacco` were also mentioned.
The post also mentions beers handled by Unica, including an Italian pilsner and a sour made with wine grapes. The content is aimed not only at beer drinkers, but also at people who enjoy the acidity and fruitiness associated with wine. The event is also expected to pour an Italian grape sour, so the range of flavors should be quite broad.
