Anjo Den Beer to Hold April and May Experience Classes at Horre Fest
Anjo Den Beer (Horre Fest) announced in a March 8 post that its next "beer-making experience class" will be held on April 15 and May 13. The one-day program covers barley grinding, part of the brewing process, a factory tour, classroom learning, and tastings, with a capacity of 10 participants per session.
Hop BroThis is a really good story today. Horre Fest at Anjo Den Beer is holding its "beer-making experience class" on April 15 and May 13.
MugiWait, not "drinking" beer but "making" it!? And where is it happening?
Hop BroThe venue is Horre Fest, a restaurant attached to a brewery inside Den Park in Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture. You meet at 9:00 a.m. and finish at 2:00 p.m., so you can experience everything from grinding to tasting in one day.
MugiWow! I saw that lunch is included! 6,600 yen, and all-you-can-drink beer and soft drinks for 90 minutes? That’s too good, right!?
Hop BroThat’s the best part. Plus, with a cap of 10 people, it’s a very dense program. From barley grinding to adding it to the mash kettle, a factory tour, classroom learning, and tastings, it’s all packed in. In style terms, it’s a "participatory brewery tour."
MugiHold on, "grinding" and "mashing" suddenly sound like artisan jargon! What is that!?
Hop BroPut simply, grinding is preparing the barley so it can release flavor more easily, and mashing is the process of turning that barley into sweet wort. Once you know that, every glass feels so much more meaningful.
MugiWhoa, that suddenly gives one sip a lot more weight! And since it only needs a minimum of two people, it’s easy to go if you invite a friend!
Hop BroApplications are by email, sending your name, number of participants, and phone number. The contact is a-takeuchi@otoufu.co.jp, and the phone number is 0566-92-7755. The cancellation deadline is 6:00 p.m. on April 10 for the April session and 6:00 p.m. on May 8 for the May session.
MugiGot it! Learning, not just drinking, is the best... after reading that, I’m completely in a craft-beer-thirsty state. Big bro Hop, let’s have one first!
