Brasserie Knot Supports T.Y. HARBOR Brewery's Equipment Upgrade, and Collaboration Beer "HARBOR" Also Debuts
Brasserie Knot in Tsurui Village, Hokkaido, reported on Instagram that it helped update the brewing equipment at T.Y. HARBOR Brewery in Tennozu Isle. A system based on the equipment it uses itself was introduced with improvements, and the March seasonal beer "HARBOR" was also born from this connection.
Hop BroToday, it's about how Brasserie Knot helped with T.Y. HARBOR Brewery's equipment upgrade. And the fact that the March seasonal beer "HARBOR" came out of that connection is pretty interesting, isn't it?
MugiWait, if you help with the equipment, a beer gets born too!? The collaboration flow is hotter than I expected!
Hop BroExactly. This equipment was apparently customized based on the same configuration they actually use, while also incorporating the on-site brewers' feedback. In other words, it's not just theory on paper, but an improved version battle-tested in the field.
MugiHold on, what changes when you customize the equipment? This is suddenly starting to sound like an engineering class!
Hop BroFor example, things like the workflow for brewing and fermentation, temperature control, and how easy it is to clean. For a brewery, day-to-day usability also affects the flavor.
MugiI see! So Brasserie Knot is in Tsurui Village in Hokkaido, right? The fact that they renovated the old Shimosetsuri Elementary School is already overflowing with romance!
Hop BroExactly. Near the Kushiro Wetland, their attitude of harmonizing with nature is clearly tied to the land itself. A flavor that doesn't shout too loudly also suits that environment.
MugiSo "HARBOR" is probably not the kind that goes hard and wild, but more like something that goes well with a meal, right? The name itself makes me want to drink it while looking at a harbor view!
Hop BroThat's exactly the image it fits. And this time it appeared as a March seasonal release, with the barrels sold out and cans still available, which adds some drama too.
MugiWhoa, hearing that there are still cans in stock makes me even more curious! And if you can see the brewing equipment from BREWS Brewery & Roastery, it sounds fun even just to visit!
Hop BroRight? Their know-how is connected, the beer is born, and you can even enjoy the view. Tonight, I already feel like I want to toast with HARBOR.
The craft brewery Brasserie Knot, based in Tsurui Village in Hokkaido, adjacent to the Kushiro Wetland, announced on Instagram that it had helped support the equipment upgrade at T.Y. HARBOR Brewery in Tennozu Isle, Tokyo. According to the post, the newly introduced equipment has the same configuration as what Brasserie Knot actually uses, and it was customized while incorporating improvements based on the company’s operational experience as well as input from the on-site brewers.
Brasserie Knot is a brewery located in Tsurui Village, near the Kushiro Wetland, in a former elementary school, the old Shimosetsuri Elementary School, which has been renovated into a brewery. On its official website, it describes itself as "a brasserie that harmonizes with people, culture, and nature," and its beers are designed to accompany meals and different occasions without pushing their individuality too strongly. This initiative can also be seen as an extension of that stance to another brewery.
The post also mentions that this connection led to the March seasonal beer "HARBOR". The barrels have already sold out, while cans are still in stock. It is striking that support for equipment and beer making were connected and took shape as a collaboration.
It also introduces the impressive view of the brewing equipment from the attached cafe BREWS Brewery & Roastery, highlighting the high quality of the visitor experience as one of T.Y. HARBOR Brewery's attractions. The post also makes clear that Brasserie Knot is not only a brewery for its own production, but also a presence that shares knowledge in equipment design and improvement.
