Hop BroOn May 16, a collaboration event featuring Akita Akura Beer x Niku Hiroba x Akita Bokujō is coming to Restaurant Platz in Omachi, Akita City.
MugiWhoa! So it's a beer-and-meat festival? That's already a win right there!
Hop BroAnd Platz is a directly operated shop renovated from a storehouse, right next to the brewery, so you can aim for fresh draft beer.
MugiI hear draft beer a lot, but is the freshness factor really that different?
Hop BroIt really is. Compared with bottled or canned beer, the aroma comes through much more directly, and Akita Akura Beer's hop aroma and bitterness come out especially cleanly.
MugiOh, so stuff like `Namahage IPA` is an IPA, but what exactly is IPA?
Hop BroIPA is a style where the hop character takes center stage, and `Namahage IPA` really brings out bitterness and aroma, so it goes perfectly with meat dishes.
MugiWow! Then `Akita Bijin no Beer` sounds easy to drink, and `Akitakomachi IPL` feels very Akita with that rice connection!
Hop BroExactly. And `Akita Ginjo Beer` is defined by its ginjo aroma, while `Kodaimai Amber` leans toward richness, so it can handle the fat and umami of meat well.
MugiA rooftop BBQ at Niku Hiroba, plus sheep and rabbits from Akita Bokujō too? That's an overwhelming amount of information!
Hop BroIt's great that you can taste Akita's ingredients all at once through beer and meat. This is definitely not the kind of event that ends with just one drink.
MugiYeah, now I definitely want to go! I want to toast with Akita Akura Beer and dig into the meat too!

Beer Highlights
Akita Akura Beer's lineup is defined by the use of hops and rice from Akita. Among its standard beers, `Namahage IPA`, with its pronounced hop bitterness and aroma, the easy-to-drink `Akita Bijin no Beer`, `Akitakomachi IPL` made with Akita rice Akitakomachi, `Akita Ginjo Beer`, whose defining feature is a ginjo aroma, and `Kodaimai Amber`, made with ancient rice, are all labels that make it easy to imagine how well they would go with meat dishes.
Venue Appeal
The collaborating partner, Niku Hiroba, is known for its rooftop BBQ spot in the Kawabata area. Akita Bokujō is a farm centered on sheep and rabbits, and part of the appeal here is the lineup of producers closely connected to Akita's food scene.
