Tokorozawa Beer’s Smoke Craft to Join the Nasu Craft Beer Festival on Sept. 5-6
Tokorozawa Beer will appear at the 10th Nasu Craft Beer Festival in Nasushiobara, Tochigi, from Sept. 5 to 6 under its smoke-beer label, Smoke Craft. The brewery says it will bring its featured beer Offpeat, a smoky, peat-driven release.
Hop BroI want to talk about this Nasu Beer Festival appearance. Tokorozawa Beer is heading to the 10th Nasu Local Beer Festival in Nasushiobara on September 5 and 6 under its Smoke Craft label.
MugiWait, Smoke Craft already sounds smoky enough to smell through the name. Beer can really go that hard on smoke?
Hop BroIt absolutely can. They’re bringing the buzzworthy Off Peat, a smoked beer built around that peaty aroma, and it’s a seriously distinctive pour.
MugiWhoa, but peat-derived aroma means what exactly? Wood? Dirt? Why does this suddenly feel like a surprise science quiz?
Hop BroPeat is old plant matter compressed over time, and when it’s used for flavor it gives this earthy smoky note. Basically, it feels like taking a deep breath next to a campfire.
MugiWhat is that! Breathing in a campfire is such a wild description. This beer is turning into an outdoor activity.
Hop BroTokorozawa Beer is a brewery based in Kitahara-cho, Tokorozawa, Saitama, and Smoke Craft is their smoke-focused brand built around smoked malt. It’s the kind of beer you want to follow from first aroma to the finish.
MugiSo if people are tasting around the festival, the difference in aroma is going to jump out like, ‘Hello, I’m the main character.’
Hop BroExactly. And since this is the 10th anniversary edition, Off Peat’s smoky character will probably stick in your memory even among all the other local beers.
MugiI’m done for, I want to teleport to Nasushiobara right now. On September 5 and 6, I want my very first glass at the Tokorozawa Beer booth wrapped in smoke.
Hop BroThat’s the move. Raise a glass at the festival, take your time with a smoke-laced finish, and the next sip is probably inevitable.
MugiSettled. I’m going with a tasting flight plan, but I’m absolutely ending on Off Peat. Just hearing this makes me want a drink.
Tokorozawa Beer is a brewery based in Kitahara-cho, Tokorozawa, Saitama. Its "Smoke Craft" label is known for smoked beers.
The brewery announced that it will take part in the 10th Nasu Craft Beer Festival, held from Sept. 5 to 6 in Nasushiobara, Tochigi. In its post, Tokorozawa Beer said it is pleased to join the event as Smoke Craft and will bring its featured beer, Offpeat.
Offpeat is a smoked beer with a distinct peat-driven aroma. It highlights what Smoke Craft does best: building flavor around smoke, with a profile that rewards slow drinking and close attention to the aroma. At a festival where drinkers can compare multiple local beers, that kind of character should stand out clearly.
The Nasu festival reaches its 10th edition this year, making it a good fit for a beer with a strong identity. For drinkers who want to follow the event, more information is available from Tokorozawa Beer and Nasu Craft Beer Festival.
