Forest Brewing Sets Up a Tent Booth at Beer Fes Fukushima, Offering Two Limited-Edition Beers
Forest Brewing of Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture, reported on Instagram that it had arrived at the venue for "Beer Fes Fukushima" in Fukushima City. This time it is not a beer truck but a tent booth, and it will serve the winter-only "Shimaenaga" and "Kitakitsune."
Hop BroForest Brewing from Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture came to Beer Fes Fukushima in Fukushima City. And this time it's a tent booth instead of a beer truck, which has a quietly cool vibe.
MugiWhoa, a tent booth! Without the truck, it suddenly feels way more like a festival stall.
Hop BroExactly. What's interesting is that this brewery promotes craft beer made with firewood. In Kawasaki Town, where snowmelt water from the Zao mountain range flows in, they pay a lot of attention to the ingredients too.
MugiCraft beer made with firewood? So does that mean it has the smell of wood in it? That sounds amazing, but it also makes me a little worried like it's a fire hazard!
Hop BroDon't worry, it's not campfire beer. They're a relatively new brewery that started brewing in May 2023, and they make everything from lagers to IPAs and weizens. The firewood comes from the company's roots, and it adds character to the beer.
MugiHuh, but what's a weizen? Just from the name, it sounds like some German prince or something, and I still don't get it!
Hop BroGood question. A weizen is a smooth wheat beer made with wheat malt. Their limited "Shimaenaga" is also in that style, so it should feel seasonal and easy to drink.
MugiWow, Shimaenaga is such a cute name! And it's winter-only too, so it's exactly the kind of beer you want to drink the moment you find it.
Hop BroAnd there's one more, Kitakitsune. The limited items aren't even sold at the shop anymore, so finding them at the venue is pretty rare.
MugiWait, being able to drink two limited editions on the spot is amazing! Meeting a Miyagi brewery in Fukushima is exactly the kind of thing that makes events fun.
Hop BroExactly. If you can do a tasting at the venue, you should be able to enjoy the gentleness of Shimaenaga and the personality of Kitakitsune, and now I want a glass right away too.
MugiThen I want to toast right now! I want to line up in front of the tent and grin while holding a limited beer!
Forest Brewing of Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture, reported on Instagram that it had entered the venue for "Beer Fes Fukushima." This time it will participate from a tent rather than a beer truck, so the booth will have a somewhat smaller setup.
The brewery is based in Kawasaki Town, where snowmelt water from the Zao mountain range flows in, and it presents itself as a "craft beer made with firewood," born from a company engaged in firewood production. According to its official website, brewing began in May 2023, and with a focus on the water of northern Zao and the ingredients used, it offers a wide range of styles from lagers to IPAs and weizens.
For this event, the winter limited beers "Shimaenaga" and "Kitakitsune" will be featured. Forest Brewing's official website also introduces "SHIMAENAGA" as a seasonally limited weizen, so the venue should offer a chance to try a beer that differs from the regular lineup.
In its post, the brewery says these are limited items that are no longer available at its shop and encourages first-time visitors and craft beer fans to enjoy them. Attention is gathering on what kind of beer the brewery from Kawasaki Town, Miyagi, will bring to the event in Fukushima City.
