A collaboration event by Akita Akr Beer, Nikuhiroba Kawabata Rooftop, and Akita Farm will be held on May 16 in Omachi, Akita City. It combines BBQ using lamb from Akita Farm with all-you-can-drink craft beer from Akita Akr Beer, and also offers pairings by cut.
Hop BroThe three-company collaboration lamb event in Akita City's Omachi is quite an intense one. Akita Akr Beer, Nikuhiroba, and Akita Farm are teaming up to do BBQ and all-you-can-drink on a rooftop, right?
MugiWait! All-you-can-drink craft beer while doing BBQ on a rooftop? That's basically the ultimate summer vacation event!
Hop BroIt's on Saturday, May 16, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with doors opening at 4:45 p.m. It's by reservation only, limited to 36 people, and the fee is 13,000 yen (tax included).
MugiOnly 36 people? That sounds too few. Isn't that going to be a battle for spots?
Hop BroThe thing is, the venue, Kawabata Rooftop Meat Plaza, is a rooftop BBQ space, so it's designed for a smaller group to relax and enjoy it. Rather than being packed in, you can really focus on the meat and beer.
MugiI see! So the lamb is made from the sheep raised by Akita Farm. It really feels like a local feast!
Hop BroWhat's more interesting is that these sheep were raised on malt lees, which are a byproduct from the beer-brewing process. There's a circular story here: the barley byproduct becomes sheep feed, and then those sheep meet beer again.
MugiWait, sheep that ate malt lees!? That makes beer and sheep sound like they're basically related!
Hop BroExactly. You can enjoy it with grilled meat, skewers, and stew, and they even suggest pairings by cut, so it's strong because it doesn't end with just drinking.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! And if there's even an exchange time, it sounds like you can get excited with strangers over 'this cut is delicious'!
Hop BroThey apparently accept reservations through Google Forms or by phone to Akita Akr Beer, and the event is scheduled to be held inside a tent even if it rains. This is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want to seriously eat your fill of both meat and beer.
MugiYeah, just reading it makes my throat react! Akita's local ingredients and craft beer make me want to toast right now!
