BEER PUB&CAFE AWAKE and MEZAME HOSTEL, both connected to O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER in Nagasaki City, will hold an 8th anniversary event. In an Instagram post, they announced that over the two days of Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12, they will offer special anniversary menus and anniversary beer.

During the event, the regular price of a craft beer pint, normally 1,250 yen, will be offered for 888 yen, while a half pint will be 588 yen. In addition, rich milk soft serve will be available for 88 yen. If you beat a staff member at rock-paper-scissors, you will also receive a snack as a gift. Food menu items will also be available at special prices.

Business hours are Saturday, April 11 from 15:00 to 23:30 and Sunday, April 12 from 12:00 to 21:00. The post also urges customers to make seating reservations early. The venue, BEER PUB&CAFE AWAKE, is attached to MEZAME HOSTEL and is also the place where O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER began.

The limited beer unveiled to commemorate the anniversary is "MEZAME ∞infinity LOOP". The brewer is KYOKO MIURA, the style is Dry New England IPA, and the ABV is 6.2%. The hops used are Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, mega terps, and hyper boost citra.

In the Brewer's Note, it explains that the beer was inspired by the hostel's clean and comfortable space, and that the usually sweet New England IPA was finished in a dry style. It is characterized by white-grape-like aromas, a body that finishes at 1.003, and a smooth mouthfeel created by restrained carbonation, making it a beer suggested as a toast to the beginning of spring.

O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER is a craft beer brewery based in Mezamemachi, Nagasaki City. The anniversary event at this facility, where lodging, dining, and brewing are closely connected, offers a chance to enjoy the new beer as well as the atmosphere of the place itself.
