Hop BroToday's story from Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi.'s post is a good one. They're spotlighting Hokkaido's Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery.
MugiWait! Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery is in Hokkaido, right? How does that connect to a pub in Daikanyama?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. In their note, they really dig into Always Smile! 5347, their fourth original beer released in July 2024.
MugiThat name totally grabs you! The meaning of 5347 isn't some cash register PIN, is it!?
Hop BroIf it were, ordering it would feel way too intense. It marks the couple's ages, 53 and 47, and Always Smile! is a phrase they treasure, so it's basically an anniversary beer.
MugiWhoa! But the second I read Belgian White Ale, I get the same face I had before exams!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a light wheat-based white ale with a soft texture and easy drinkability. This version uses local orange peel and birch sap from Bifuka to add a sense of place.
MugiBirch sap!? From tree to beer sounds like the forest is joining happy hour!
Hop BroThe sap doesn't hit you hard; it adds a gentle impression and helps anchor the story. And the whole project started with crowdfunding tied to Bibibibeer Fest Vol.1 in February 2024.
MugiWow, so one glass holds both people's feelings and the air of the place... That balance of easy drinking and story is really great!
Hop BroExactly. Bibibi. is an easygoing standing pub in Daikanyama, and being able to drink while hearing the backstory is the best part. Just talking about it makes me want a pint right now.
MugiSame here! A beer packed with smiles, anniversaries, and Hokkaido has me fully in drinking mode now!
