Hop BroAkita Prefecture's Sunao Brewery is tapping a birthday commemorative beer for just three days starting April 3. The style isn’t specified in the article, but just hearing about a limited-batch "special glass" is enough to get me excited.
MugiWait, they celebrate a birthday with beer!? And a recipe using sweets from Saitama and Akita? That sounds like it might smell sweet, and I’m curious~!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a birthday commemorative beer they started brewing last year, and this year the sweets are basically the star of the recipe. Even though it’s high in alcohol, it’s supposed to be easy to drink and make you want just one more.
MugiHold on! Does high in alcohol mean it’s strong but still easy to drink? That sounds like the kind of thing that could catch you off guard!
Hop BroThat’s right. Even with a higher alcohol content, a well-balanced flavor can keep it from feeling heavy. Just as Sunao Brewery says, it’s the kind of beer that makes you want just one more.
MugiWhat is that, that’s so dangerous! But I love it! That kind of "just one more" feeling is basically the entrance to the craft beer rabbit hole~!
Hop BroAnd Sunao Brewery’s strength is beer that stays close to the ingredients. On their official site they say, "Kind to nature, kind to people. Brewing and creating with sincerity," and you really get the feeling that the spirit of Yokote is in the flavor too.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just an event beer, it actually carries the brewery’s philosophy. Now it feels like I could drink the atmosphere of Yokote itself!
Hop BroExactly. And this time, the project is also celebrating the birthdays of hop farmer @hopfarmer.mitou and brewer @sunao_brewery, which makes it even better.
MugiWait, there’s that kind of backstory too!? Hearing that, I’m completely defeated by the phrase a beer you want to drink!
Hop BroRight? It will be served from April 3 through 5: 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the 3rd, 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the 4th, and 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the 5th. Since it’s taproom-only, if you can go, you’ll want to aim early.
MugiI have to go! I want to taste the whole birthday-celebration atmosphere itself, like toasting together right there on the spot~!
