MugiWhat! A seaside craft beer festival already sounds amazing by itself!
Hop BroIt’s hosted by Laughin, the brewery in Kitanagasa-dori, and for two days from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., breweries from all over Japan will gather so you can compare their beers.
MugiSeriously? A comparison lineup? Am I really allowed to drink that many?
Hop BroOf course. With 11 breweries from across the country lined up, including PAINT PALETTE BREWING, Open Air Minatoyama Brewery, and Kamigata Beer, the fun is in tasting them a little at a time.
MugiWow. But when you talk about styles, there are so many kinds of craft beer that I get lost.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The flavor direction and aroma are completely different, so it’s basically like a “beer personality test.” Comparing the aroma and bitterness makes it easy to understand.
MugiAnd there’s food too!? If dishes that go with beer are coming, I’m going to keep going forever!
Hop BroExactly. Laughin and other popular spots from around Kobe are expected to participate, and another big draw is that you can enjoy the seaside location together with music from the DJs.
MugiI love that you can take in the whole atmosphere of what’s happening in Kobe right now! I’m adding it to my weekend plans!
