MugiWhat, more than 50 breweries!? With that many gathered, the venue is definitely going to be packed with happy drunks!
Hop BroExactly, and since they're coming from Kansai's six prefectures, the range of tastings is huge. For Himeji Hatoya Beer too, it's a big chance to deliver the brand directly at one of the largest events in Kansai.
MugiBy the way, Himeji Hatoya Beer sounds tasty just from the name, but what kind of brewery is it?
Hop BroIt's run by Hatoya Co., Ltd., which has long been making kamaboko in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, and it aims to make an 'everyday' beer that fits naturally with the dining table. Having the craftsmanship of a long-established company behind it feels very much like Himeji's food culture.
MugiOhhh! But from the drinker's side, what does 'everyday' mean? This suddenly smells like beer jargon!
Hop BroFor example, it's not just a flashy, aggressive IPA; it's about balance that's easy to pair with meals and the kind of reassurance that makes you want to drink it every day. In short, it's designed to go with everyday meals.
MugiI get it! And if it's the Grand Festa store in the underground shopping area of JR Himeji Station, it's nice that you can just drop in casually. A station-connected location is basically perfect flow for beer lovers!
Hop BroThe store handles not only draft beer but also bottles and growlers, so there are lots of ways to enjoy it before and after the event. Being able to buy advance tickets from the flyer QR code at the store or via the official Instagram is also easy and convenient.
MugiI'm already fully ready to go! We'll compare beers from all kinds of breweries, taste Himeji Hatoya Beer too, and in the end secure our advance tickets and raise a toast!
