MugiWait, the whole weekend is a festival? When’s the live music?
Hop BroOn Sunday the 15th, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sendai Irish music group "Irish" is scheduled to perform. If you’re going, that’s the time to aim for.
MugiWhoa, craft beer with live music sounds amazing! What kind of limited beer are they serving?
Hop BroThe main attraction is the "Emerald Lager," priced at 800 yen. It’s a green lager-style beer, with the sweetness of Munich malt and a subtle hop aroma as its key features.
MugiWhat? Munich malt sounds super intense! Is that some kind of muscle-building barley?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s malt that brings out a bread-like toastiness and gentle sweetness. So even though it’s green, the inside is still a properly drinkable lager.
MugiGot it! What about the food? I want the snacks too!
Hop Bro"Sexy Fries" are 800 yen and come with a parsley-and-garlic butter sauce. There’s also "Irish Stout Stew," made with their own Irish stout and Sendai beef for 2,100 yen, served with mashed potatoes. If you wear something green, you also get one free mini glass.
