MugiWhoa! “Tap takeover” sounds like a faucet hijacking mission. What is it?
Hop BroIt means every beer line is switched to one brewery’s beers. That day, it’s all Karuizawa Q taps.
MugiEvery single one?! That’s a tasting marathon! And it celebrates Want a Beer’s 5.5 years.
Hop BroThe star is the limited collaboration beer, “Kanpai wa Q: Michikusa.” It’s exclusive to Want a Beer and Karuizawa Q venues.
MugiThat name makes me want to wander off already! But is an American wheat a wheat from America?
Hop BroNot quite! It’s a beer style using wheat malt, which gives it a soft, rounded mouthfeel.
MugiNice! With that wheat softness and tropical hop flavors, it sounds welcoming for newer craft-beer fans too.
Hop BroKaruizawa Q brewer Izawa will visit, and there will be Q-themed food—cucumber, quiche, and quattro formaggi pizza.
MugiI want a Q-filled toast! Let’s check out the bottles and merch, then head to Want a Beer at 3 p.m.!
A 5.5th Anniversary Celebration
Want a Beer, a craft-beer pub in Moto-Imaizumi, Utsunomiya, Tochigi, will host a Karuizawa Q tap takeover on Saturday, October 17, from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with last orders at 10:00 p.m.
For the event, every beer tap at the pub will be dedicated to Karuizawa Q beers. Karuizawa Q brewer Isawa is also scheduled to attend, giving guests an opportunity to enjoy the beers while meeting the person behind them.
The featured release is a collaboration beer called “Kanpai wa Q — Michikusa.” Available exclusively at Want a Beer and Karuizawa Q affiliated venues, it is an American wheat beer modeled after Yoho Brewing’s “Boku Beer Kimi Beer — Yorimichi.” The beer is described as having a smooth, mellow mouthfeel from wheat and tropical hop flavors.
Guests will also have a chance to purchase Karuizawa Q original merchandise and the brewery’s first bottled beers. Bottled beers, excluding the collaboration beer, will be available as souvenirs. Food inspired by the letter and sound “Q” is planned, including cucumber dishes, quattro formaggi, quiche, and acqua pazza.
Want a Beer is a craft-beer-focused pub in Utsunomiya’s Moto-Imaizumi district. Reservations are recommended, as busy conditions may require shared seating or standing service inside the pub.
