MugiWhat! It's a two-day event!? I'm so happy it's basically a full weekend of drinking!
Hop BroExactly. It's happening on May 30 and 31 at Asahikawa Station South Plaza. Since it's open from 11:00 until sunset, you can take it easy and enjoy it from midday.
MugiWait, what! So that many people gather in the station plaza? But it's not just beer, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Nearly 20 breweries and distilleries are expected to gather, so beer people and gin people will all be lined up together smiling at the same venue.
MugiHuh, do distilleries make beer too? My head is already getting into a fight between foam and aroma!
Hop BroGood question. Beer is brewed, and gin is distilled. The methods are different, but both depend on how the aroma is designed, and the best part is being able to compare those differences while drinking at the venue.
MugiI see! And Taisetsuji Beer's focus on Hokkaido and Asahikawa ingredients gives it such a strong local feel.
Hop BroExactly. BSK Craft Beer & Sake Bar's strength is that you can also enjoy local sake, and inside the shop they have things like shoyu ramen, a cheese platter, and soft-serve ice cream, so it's also great for a stop before or after drinking.
MugiHold on, they even have shoyu ramen!? That's the kind of thing that sucks you in after you've been drinking!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they're expected to open around 2:00 p.m. on May 30, while May 31 is a temporary closure, so it's worth checking the schedule carefully. It's a perfect day for drinking your way through the city center. That definitely makes you want to go.
MugiYeah, I'm totally in the mood for a drink from midday! I want to enjoy beer and gin all together at Asahikawa Station South Plaza!
