The Beer Pub Beer Cellar Sapporo Main Store, located in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, announced on Instagram an event called “Big Bottles and Snacks” beginning at 12:00 on Saturday, May 23. Using a photo shot against the backdrop of the shop’s refrigerated display case, the image shows large bottles lined up side by side, conveying a format meant for slowly sharing bottle beer and enjoying it with snacks.

From what can be read on the labels in the image, the lineup appears to include an Anchor bottle reminiscent of a classic American bottle, as well as bottles believed to be “Gloed” and “Rijp” from the Dutch brewery Nevel Artisan Ales. The two Nevel bottles should offer the expressive character of wild ales with fruit-derived nuances, while the Anchor-style bottle is likely to show a more structured profile that pairs well with food.

Beer Cellar Sapporo Main Store is a beer pub in Minami 1-jo Nishi 12-chome in central Sapporo, and it is the kind of place that suits a relaxed drinking style centered on bottles. Rather than just chasing the next draft pour, this shop’s appeal lies in taking time to enjoy large bottles like these alongside food.
