Hop BroA hot announcement just came out of Ibusuki! Ibusuki Brewery is selling classic lager for 600 yen including tax at Former School Kitchen Mugi to Niwa under "#firstcome."
MugiWhat!? Classic lager for 600 yen!? And first-come, first-served? That's definitely an opening-rush situation!
Hop BroExactly. And it's limited in quantity, using stock that's close to its best-before date so it doesn't go to waste.
MugiWow. But what makes a classic lager "classic"? Even the name has some weight to it!
Hop BroThink of it as a standard lager built around grainy malt character and finished with clean fermentation. It's lagered at low temperatures to smooth out any rough edges, which is what makes it so easy to drink.
MugiLagered!? You just dropped a spell! Is that the lager world's special move!?
Hop BroKind of like a special move, but basically it's time spent cooling it down and letting it rest to refine the flavor. That's why it ends up clean and easy to drink.
MugiWhat is that! That's super beginner-friendly! And the fact that it's on the site of the former Tokumitsu Elementary School is such a strong story!
Hop BroBecause the brewery and kitchen are integrated, it also works well as a local community space. Being able to enjoy food pairings too makes it feel pretty complete.
MugiAll right, let's check the business hours and stock and head over! A first-come classic lager? Just imagining it makes my throat want a drink!
Hop BroDeal. Let's have a glass while it's still 600 yen and taste Ibusuki's air along with it. This is the kind of thing that makes you want to drink!
