Hop BroToday's topic is the Beer Week Tokai kicking off at Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi, a Tokai beer festival running from March 22 to around March 31!
MugiWow! Tokai while staying in Hiroshima sounds amazing, and a March 22 start is an instant calendar check!
Hop BroThis time, they're running a mini event week with the taps set to Tokai beers during normal business as usual, and they'll be opening them one by one from new breweries to old standbys.
MugiWhat? What does opening them one by one mean? They're not all connected at once?
Hop BroGood question. Basically, it's tap rotation operation where they swap out kegs, so the beers available change from day to day.
MugiOhhh! So which breweries are featured specifically? Give me the featured brewery info!
Hop BroThe post mentions West Coast Brewing in Shizuoka, and their own brewed HNB draft is also in rotation, with happy hour until 7 p.m.
MugiThat's a lot of info! What's the difference in style between HIROSHIMA RED LAGER and RED IPA?
Hop BroThe lager is crisp and clean, while the IPA is all about hop aroma; plus, the RED LAGER is sold out and RED IPA is available in cans right now.
MugiSold out that fast! But if there's even a Tokai-gourmet snack platter, then you can enjoy the regional character of both beer and food all at once!
Hop BroAlso, a brewer from Y Market is scheduled to visit on March 28 and 29, and if you follow the social media announcements, you can lock onto the key dates at the end of the month.
MugiIt's decided! We go tour Tokai at Golden Garden, and at the end it'll be the kind of night where the two of us say we want a drink right now!
According to a Golden Garden Instagram post, the shop plans to hold #BeerWeekTokai from around March 22 to 31. The bar will basically keep its usual operating style, and the event will be run as a "mini event week" with the taps lined up with beers from the Tokai region.
During the period, beers from the Tokai area are scheduled to be tapped one after another, from brand-new breweries to long-established veterans. In addition, the post says that a brewer from Y Market, after finishing an event on March 28 and 29, is expected to stop by. Brewery introductions and tap dates will be announced on social media as they come.
This post also mentions tapping beer from Shizuoka's West Coast Brewing. In addition, the shop's own brewed HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING (HNB) draft beer has been rotated in and is being offered as part of the happy hour available every day until 7 p.m.
As for stock, the OK!! Hiroshima collaboration HIROSHIMA RED LAGER has sold out, while HIROSHIMA RED IPA is currently available in cans. On the food side, a lineup of snacks with a Tokai-gourmet twist is also planned, offering a chance to enjoy the regional character through both beer and food.
Golden Garden, located in the Kakku Building in Hiroshima City's Naka Ward, Shintenchi, is a beer pub where you can relax and enjoy rotating taps and meals. Heading into the end of the month, it looks set to be a week where you can travel across the Tokai craft scene while staying in Hiroshima.
