Aozora Brewery Hakata Tenyamachi has begun taking reservations for the spring outing season's "Craft Beer Hanami Set." According to the post, the set comes in two versions: 4 selectable canned beers + appetizer plate (3 to 4 servings) for 5,500 yen, or 6 selectable canned beers + the same plate for 6,500 yen.

The appetizer plate includes fried chicken, potato omelet, kibiago fritters, prosciutto with multigrain grissini, white bean salad, and mitsu-mame with sakura kanten, all arranged with hanami in mind. Rather than offering beer alone, the brewery is proposing the food pairing as part of the package, which feels very much in line with a brewpub.

Pickup is available only in store on Sunday, March 22, or Sunday, March 29. Pickup hours are 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Reservations must be made at least three days before pickup, and orders are accepted in person or via Instagram DM. Because quantities are limited, securing one early would be the safest choice.

The brewery is based in Tenyamachi, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, and operates under the concept of "bringing more craft beer culture to Fukuoka." Its official website states that, in addition to four standard beers, it offers seasonal products and guest beers, and this hanami set is an extension of that seasonal approach. As the season for outdoor toasts approaches, this is a noteworthy chance to sample a local brewery's canned beers in one package.
