Egret Brewery in Himeji to hold 4th anniversary event on July 19-20
Egret Brewery, a craft brewery in Himeji, Hyogo, will mark its fourth anniversary with a two-day event on July 19 and 20. The brewery plans the first tap opening of its anniversary beer, along with special food offerings including unagi rice and paella.
Hop BroThere’s a good one out of Himeji: Egret Brewery is holding its 4th anniversary festival on July 19 and 20.
MugiWhat! That already sounds dangerously fun. A 4th anniversary festival means full celebration mode, right?
Hop BroExactly. They started in July 2022, and they’ve spent four years building their name as Himeji’s first brewery.
MugiOooh, that local story is nice! So what’s the star beer, is it literally called the 4th anniversary beer?
Hop BroThe article doesn’t give the full name or style yet, so the style is undisclosed for now. But a special anniversary brew already sets expectations high.
MugiWait, what? That’s such a tease! Also, what does first tapping mean? Is somebody popping it open like a giant can?
Hop BroNot quite. First tapping at the taproom means the commemorative beer is being poured from the keg for the very first time. It’s basically the public debut pint.
MugiOkay, that’s actually hype. And July 19 has eel rice pairing, while July 20 gets paella? My stomach just joined the conversation!
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. Having different food each day really works. July 20 brings paella, so whether the beer leans crisp or maltier, it should have a good match.
MugiA brewery that’s grown for four years in the city of Himeji Castle, celebrated with a freshly poured pint... that’s kind of beautiful, honestly!
Hop BroAnd you get to taste where Egret is right now as a brewery. July 19 and 20 feels like one of those dates worth clearing your schedule for.
MugiI’m sold. I want the eel rice day and the paella day. After reading this, the only conclusion is I need a glass now!
