Argon Brewing to pour at the Sendai Craft Beer Festival on Aug. 14-16
Argon Brewing, a brewpub in Shiogama, Miyagi, will take part in the Sendai Craft Beer Festival from August 14 to 16. The brewery also announced that its taproom will be closed from August 13 through 16.
Hop BroSendai is going to be busy. Argon Brewing on the road means the Shiogama brewpub is pouring at the Sendai Craft Beer Festival from August 14 to 16.
MugiWait, three straight festival days? Then what happens to the pub? People in Shiogama are going to do a double take!
Hop BroThat is part of the story too: they're closed August 13-16 so they can focus on the event. It's at Kotodai Park's Ikoi no Hiroba, a classic summer gathering spot for Tohoku craft beer fans.
MugiOoh, what are they pouring? I expected actual beer names, but the article feels a little mystery-box about that part.
Hop BroNo specific beer names are front and center yet, but a five-beer lineup is very Argon Brewing. The examples include pale ale, stout, sour ale, and weizen, with batches changing by season and month.
MugiHold on, is weizen a spell? If I say it out loud, does a German beer hall suddenly appear?
Hop BroClose enough, but it's a wheat beer with banana-and-clove aromas. Those come from yeast-driven esters and phenols, which is the nerdy way of saying fruity with a little spice.
MugiWhat is that! Liquid banana bread sounds dangerously tempting. And if they have sour ale too, the tart-beer crowd is going to sprint over.
Hop BroAnd this is very festival-friendly: 3-beer flight for 1,100 yen. A pint is 800 yen and a half-pint is 500, so it is a very easy way to figure out what you like.
MugiThat helps a lot. A craft-beer beginner's ally. I'd put on a careful tasting face while secretly opening every possible rabbit hole.
Hop BroPlus, the Shiogama brewpub has house-smoked snacks along with pasta and burgers. Try a beer at the festival, then later revisit it with food at the pub; honestly, I already want a pint.
MugiThat is perfect! Study in Sendai, review in Shiogama. You want one, I want one, and now I'm craving Argon Brewing before the festival even starts!
Event
Argon Brewing will pour at the Sendai Craft Beer Festival from August 14 to 16. In the post, the brewery also said its taproom will be closed from August 13 through 16, shifting focus to the festival. The Sendai Craft Beer Festival is held in central Sendai at Kotodai Park Ikoi no Hiroba and is a major summer gathering for Tohoku beer fans.
What to expect in the glass
Argon Brewing's official menu says the brewpub keeps five craft beers on tap at all times and rotates them by season and month. Confirmed styles include pale ale, stout with nutty, chocolate and coffee-like aromas, sour ale with a sharp acidity, and weizen with notes reminiscent of banana and clove. The brewery also offers a three-beer tasting set for 1,100 yen, with pints at 800 yen and half pints at 500 yen.
About the brewpub
At its Kaigan-dori location in Shiogama, the brewery pairs its beer with house-smoked snacks, pasta, and hamburgers. That makes Argon Brewing a place where beer and food are meant to be enjoyed together, not separately. Visitors who discover the brewery at the festival may want to follow up with a slower visit to the taproom later.
