ForestBrewing to join Oedo Beer Festival Machida for a second time
ForestBrewing, based in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi, said it will take part in Oedo Beer Festival Machida at Machida Shibahiro. The brewery is returning for a second appearance, this time with a tent booth and a lineup of limited beers.
Hop BroMachida is about to get lively again. Oedo Beer Festival Machida is bringing in Forest Brewing from Kawasaki, Miyagi, starting August 7.
MugiWait, Forest Brewing is that brewery from Miyagi, right? Coming all the way to Machida is some serious road-trip energy!
Hop BroYep, this is their second time exhibiting, and they're joining Season 2 with a tent booth. They also said they're bringing plenty of limited beers.
MugiThat phrase, bringing extra limited beers, is way too dangerous! My wallet leaned forward the second I heard it. Do we know the lineup yet?
Hop BroNot yet, they're keeping that under wraps. But last year they brought KAWASEMI HAZY IPL, named after a bird associated with Machida, and the canned version sold out.
MugiWhoa, but HAZY IPL? What is that even supposed to be? It's hazy, then suddenly it's an alphabet soup meeting!
Hop BroPut simply, it's an IPA with lager yeast. You get bright hop aroma, but the finish tends to be cleaner and crisper. The hazy part just means a softer mouthfeel.
MugiOkay, so it's soft but flashy! Looks fluffy, drinks sharp. That feels a little unfair in the best way.
Hop BroAnd Forest Brewing is a brewery born from the forest. It grew out of a firewood business and started brewing in May 2023. Even names like Kikorino Pilsner and Asagiri no Helles fit the whole vibe.
MugiJust hearing those names makes me want to take a deep breath. The venue is Machida Shibahiro, and it runs from Friday, August 7 to Tuesday, August 11, right?
Hop BroExactly. The first day starts at 4 p.m., then Saturday through Monday run from noon to 9 p.m., and the last day ends at 8 p.m. It's a five-day run, and with breweries and food from all over, I'm already craving a pint.
MugiThen we have no choice but to go! The lineup is secret until the day, which somehow makes it even more exciting. KAWASEMI or a brand-new release, I just want a glass right now!
