MugiWhat! Six years is that rare? Where is it being held?
Hop BroThe venue is the event hall on the 9th floor of the Odori Building at Marui Imai Sapporo Main Store, running from Thursday, November 6 to Sunday, November 9. Hours are 10:30 to 19:30, and only on the final day it runs until 17:00.
MugiOhh! A craft beer festival right in the heart of Sapporo!
Hop BroAnd more than 40 breweries from across Hokkaido are expected to gather. At Kyogoku Beer's booth, store manager Miki-san will be there from the 6th to the 8th, and head brewer Shige-san from the 8th to the 9th, so you can even enjoy talking with the people who make the beer.
MugiTalking with the brewers? Like the stuff you always mention, Hop, about "fermentation profiles" and "yeast-derived esters"? That's basically a spell!
Hop BroExactly. Put simply, it's like the blueprint for what kind of aroma and flavor they want to create. Even if it sounds difficult, talking to the person behind it makes beer feel instantly more familiar.
MugiWhat is that! Knowledge that makes it taste better before you even drink it! So, have they announced the beer names or styles yet?
Hop BroAs of this announcement, the specific labels and styles haven't been revealed yet. But since it's from a brewery in Kyogoku Town, we're probably in for a beer with a strong local character, and there's real value in following it with the excitement of an on-the-day reveal.
MugiNo announcement yet actually makes it more exciting! I want to drink while asking, "What style is this!?"
Hop BroNice, that energy. Let's drink our way through Hokkaido's current beer scene at this event returning after six years, and first, let's raise a glass with Kyogoku Beer.
MugiIt's settled! Everyone reading this, let's all go on a craft beer trip in Sapporo this November too!
