Hop BroA big Hakata update just landed: W&B is opening! Aozora Brewery launched a new spot on September 4 on the first floor of Canal City Hakata East Building.
MugiWhat! Wagyu and craft beer together? My stomach and my thirst both reacted at the same time!
Hop BroThe place is called W&B -WAGYU & CRAFT BEER-. It is a new concept built around wagyu dishes paired with their own house-brewed craft beer.
MugiWhoa! But do we know the beer names yet? I want the full this-beer-with-that-dish breakdown!
Hop BroThis article does not list specific beer labels yet. But Aozora Brewery is known for core originals, seasonal releases, and even guest beers.
MugiHold on, guest beer? What is that supposed to mean? Do beers come over for sleepovers now?
Hop BroKind of, yeah. It means beer from other breweries gets invited onto the menu too. So you get more than just their in-house lineup and can compare different pours.
MugiOhhh, got it! So the styles are not locked to one thing, and different flavor profiles could show up. That sounds perfect for wagyu.
Hop BroExactly. What they built in Tenyamachi was food and beer pairing, and now they are expanding that idea with wagyu at the center. You can already imagine rich fat meeting carbonation and hop character.
MugiThat sounds amazing... a beer at Canal City with wagyu on the side is basically a reward package.
Hop BroAnd Aozora Brewery has the strength of on-site brewing. That brewpub experience gives them room to shape the beer program around the food.
MugiThat settles it. Cheers with wagyu while trying both the core and seasonal beers sounds too good. Now I want a glass immediately!
