Highbury's '2nd Anniversary Festival' update: Black Label campaign and guest taps announced
The beer pub Highbury -The Cave of Beer- in Yokohama's Hanasakicho has shared further details on its '2nd Anniversary Festival,' to be held on May 30 and 31. In addition to a campaign using Sapporo draft (Black Label), guest taps from Koya Brewery and Kunitachi Brewery will also be available.
Hop BroYokohama's Sakuragicho area spot Highbury -The Cave of Beer- is holding its 2nd Anniversary Festival on May 30 and 31. On the anniversary day, it opens at 14:00, so you can really enjoy it from the afternoon.
MugiWhat, from the afternoon!? That's strong... and 14:00 open means they're fully ready for a toast!
Hop BroOne of the highlights this time is a two-pourer showdown using Sapporo draft Black Label. You can compare how the pours differ, and if you hit the prize, you get a free glass of Black Label, plus 200 yen off. That's the fun part.
MugiIt changes that much depending on who pours it!? Wait, is beer something you enjoy for the personality of the pour too?
Hop BroIt does change. The fineness of the foam, the balance with the liquid, and how the aroma comes up all shift, so even the same Black Label can leave a pretty different impression. That's why a tasting comparison event fits an anniversary so well.
MugiI see! And they've even got a dice challenge too? I love how playful that is!
Hop BroYou try for 200 yen each time, and if you roll a "2" you drink for free. It's an original rule, not chinchiro. Since it's limited to Black Label, the trick is to check the eligible beer before joining.
MugiSo you're going head-to-head with Black Label! And they even have a Ni-Ni Photo Exhibition inside? That anniversary mood is intense!
Hop BroThey take smiling photos with an instant camera and display them, so it feels like everyone who comes helps decorate the shop. It's nice that you can remember not just the drinks, but the whole atmosphere of the place.
MugiAnd the guest taps are Koya Brewery's 'LuLu / American IPA' and Kunitachi Brewery's 'Haru no Awai / Saison,' right? Both sound so good!
Hop BroExactly. The hop character of the IPA and the lightness of the saison give the anniversary a wide range of flavors. Since they're available until they run out, you'd better go early and enjoy the whole festival.
MugiYep, this is definitely a toast from the afternoon kind of day! I want to enjoy the Black Label, the guest beers, and the photo exhibition all together!
The beer pub Highbury -The Cave of Beer- in Yokohama's Sakuragicho area has announced further details for its '2nd Anniversary Festival,' to be held on May 30 and 31. On the anniversary days, it will open at 14:00, so guests can enjoy it from earlier than usual.
As a "special side event" this time, the pub is introducing a participation campaign using Sapporo draft (Black Label). The event lets customers compare pours from two pourers; participants get 200 yen off, and anyone who wins gets a free glass of Black Label. Last time there were many pourers, so there were fewer winners, and this time the event will be limited to two pourers in keeping with the anniversary theme.
Another attraction is a dice challenge that costs 200 yen per try. If you roll a "2," you get one Black Label free. It is being presented as an original game rather than chinchiro. Because it is limited to Black Label, be sure to check the eligible beer before participating.
For the in-store program, a "Ni-Ni Photo Exhibition" will also be set up. Smiling instant-camera shots will be displayed inside the shop, allowing everyone to share the anniversary atmosphere on the spot. Anyone who wants to take a photo can join casually.
On the beer side, limited-quantity guest taps have also been announced. The lineup features Koya Brewery's "LuLu / American IPA" and Kunitachi Brewery's "Haru no Awai / Saison." Both will be available until they run out, so if you want to try them, it's best to visit early. In the calm atmosphere of an English pub, the venue offers anniversary-only activities along with two beers with distinct character.
