On Day 2 of “KÖLSCH vs ALT” at Highbury -The Cave of Beer-, only a little Shonan Alt remains
At the beer pub Highbury -The Cave of Beer- in Yokohama’s Sakuragicho, Day 2 of “KÖLSCH vs ALT~JAPANESE RHINELAND DERBY~” announced on Instagram is underway. At CAVE, Shonan Alt and Swan Lake Alt remain, and there’s also the fun of bar-hopping and voting.
At the beer pub `Highbury -The Cave of Beer-` on Momijizaka in Yokohama’s Sakuragicho, Day 2 of `KÖLSCH vs ALT~JAPANESE RHINELAND DERBY~` has been announced on Instagram. The post calls on people to vote for Kölsch or Alt while moving between CAVE and HOME in Shinjuku Gyoen, and the event is designed to be enjoyed by bar-hopping between the two venues.
The beers said to be running low on the CAVE side are `Shonan Alt` and `Swan Lake Alt`. `Shonan Alt` is from Kumazawa Brewery (Shonan Beer), and `Swan Lake Alt` is from Swan Lake Beer; both are lineups that let you enjoy the malt-driven character typical of Alt. Being able to compare the individuality of the styles as you drink is likely the clearest appeal of this event.
`Highbury -The Cave of Beer-` is a beer pub in Hanasakicho, within walking distance of Sakuragicho Station. While it has the atmosphere of an English pub, its selection leans toward `CASK` beers, real ale, Belgian beer, and Thornbridge. As its name suggests, its calm, cave-like space makes it well suited to taking your time and comparing different beer styles.
This post also notes that one food item is served and that food tickets are counted across both days. The event is built as a two-venue experience: if you were at CAVE yesterday, head to HOME; if you were at HOME yesterday, head to CAVE. It is content that lets you enjoy not only tasting beers side by side, but the experience of moving between the two venues as well.
