Egret Brewery announces Aug. 21 Aga Hop harvest, brewing and BBQ event
Egret Brewery in Himeji, Hyogo, posted its August schedule on Instagram on July 25 and announced a blended event on August 21: an Aga Hop harvest festival, brewing, and BBQ using hops grown in Egaho. The event is being run with Naomi and the craft-beer bar umbrella RiB, and a few spots were still available.
Hop BroI’ve got a fun one today: Egre Brewery is hosting an August 21 event with an Agaho-grown hop harvest, brewing session, and even a BBQ all in one package.
MugiWait, what! A harvest and BBQ on the same day? That’s not just a beer event, that’s summer trying to win every category at once!
Hop BroAnd the star is Agahop, built around hops grown in Agaho, Himeji. That’s the nice part: it’s not just about drinking beer, it’s about tasting the local story behind it.
MugiOooh, nice. But is the beer’s style still unannounced? My mouth wants to know if we’re talking IPA, pale ale, or some secret hop wizardry.
Hop BroYeah, the exact style hasn’t been announced yet. But since the event connects harvest and brewing, it really sounds centered on experiencing the hops themselves.
MugiThere you go again with the beer-guy talk. What does centered on experience even taste like? Is that a flavor now?
Hop BroIn plain language, it means fun before the first sip. You harvest the hops, see the brewing side, then roll into BBQ, so the whole process becomes part of the enjoyment.
MugiThat actually rules. And they’re teaming up with Naomin and umbrella RiB, right? That makes it feel even more like a community craft beer party.
Hop BroExactly. They’re taking sign-ups by DM registration, and there were still a few spots left when the post went up. It’s a solid local-first move from a Himeji brewery.
MugiHops grown in Agaho, harvested together, brewed together, then finished with BBQ... that’s serious backstory in a glass. Style or no style, now I really want to drink it.
