Craft Bank to Host Instagram Live on Coffee Beer and a New Brew on October 14
Fukuchiyama-based craft brewery Craft Bank will host a free Instagram Live on October 14 with Shiritsu Coffee Shogakko and Jiyu University. The 30-minute session will explore the making of COFFEE STOUT, coffee selection, and ideas for a new collaborative beer.
Hop BroCraft Bank in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, will host an Instagram LIVE stream from 5 p.m. on October 14. The theme is: “How does coffee change craft beer?”
MugiWhat? They’re talking about beer and coffee live? If it’s free to watch, I want to tune in with a coffee in hand!
Hop BroCraft Bank co-representative and brewer Kensuke Shoda will join Tsune Yoshida of Kinshicho coffee brand Shiritsu Coffee School. Jiro Fukai of Jiyu University is the host and moderator.
MugiWow! But is coffee beer like sweet coffee milk? The name COFFEE STOUT already sounds rich!
Hop BroA stout is a dark beer known for the toasted character of roasted malt. Add coffee, and those flavors can create matching roast aromas, often with chocolate- and cocoa-like depth.
MugiMatching roast aromas… what is that, a choir formed by fragrances? Is roasting malt and beans really that different?
Hop BroRoasted malt builds the beer’s toasty foundation, while coffee varies from fruity to bitter depending on its variety and roast. That means finding aroma harmony is incredibly important.
MugiGot it! You can’t just toss in any beans. I’d say, “Everything smells great!” and tumble straight into a deep roasting rabbit hole!
Hop BroThe stream will revisit the development of COFFEE STOUT and discuss the next beer, too. The big attraction is the adjunct ingredient blueprint: combining hops, malt, fruit, spices, and coffee.
MugiWe get to see the meeting for a new beer, too? Starting with the taste they want drinkers to enjoy makes my inner brewer soar!
Hop BroCraft Bank transformed a former bank building that had stood vacant for around 30 years into a brewery. Their motto, “Let’s do something with a beer in hand,” captures their free-spirited brewing in Fukuchiyama.
MugiAnd Jiyu University students will join everything from the concept and brewing to sales, right? After the live stream, I’ll want to toast with COFFEE STOUT while waiting for the new release!
Craft Bank, a craft brewery based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, will host an Instagram Live from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14. Titled “How Does Coffee Change Craft Beer?”, the free event will bring together Craft Bank, coffee brand Shiritsu Coffee Shogakko, and Jiyu University.
The panel will feature Kensuke Shoda, co-founder and brewer of Craft Bank; Hisashi Yoshida, owner of Shiritsu Coffee Shogakko in Kinshicho, Tokyo; and essayist and Jiyu University president Jiro Fukai, who will moderate the discussion.
Craft Bank and Shiritsu Coffee Shogakko have previously collaborated on COFFEE STOUT, a coffee beer. During the livestream, the guests will revisit the development process and discuss how coffee selection, roasting, aroma, and compatibility with beer influence the final flavor.
The conversation will also look ahead to a new beer project. The participants are expected to exchange ideas about aroma, flavor, and the people they want to enjoy the beer, while exploring how ingredients such as coffee, fruit, and spices can complement traditional brewing materials.
Craft Bank opened its brewery in 2020 by converting a former bank building that had stood vacant for roughly 30 years. Based in Fukuchiyama, the brewery presents its philosophy with the phrase “Let’s do something with a beer in hand,” combining local revitalization with experimental brewing.
The new beer project is also connected to Jiyu University’s “Craft Beer Brewing” course, scheduled to begin in November. Students will take part in the process from developing the concept and selecting ingredients to brewing at Craft Bank’s facility and selling the finished beer. The livestream offers a look at how a beer moves from an initial idea to a collaborative product.
