Hop BroExactly. And this brewery was founded in Wisconsin, USA, in 1994, then opened a new brewery in Akiu in January 2024. Having that Japan-U.S. background is pretty great too.
MugiThat sounds wonderful! I heard there's food too, but what kind of flavors do you get with Tohoku ingredients x Wisconsin?
Hop BroAt the attached restaurant, they serve dishes that pair freshly brewed beer with ingredients from Tohoku and Miyagi, along with Wisconsin culture. So this time's beer is something you can enjoy all the way down to the story behind what you're drinking.
MugiAnd it's an Instagram brewing story series too, which makes me want to follow it! Part 6 means it already feels like a drama series!
