“Baird Beer Gofukumachi Taproom” in Gofukucho, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, announced its June business schedule on Instagram. In the post, it said that June's second Monday will be a day off to create a long weekend, but during the summer, to keep the shop's air conditioning running for long hours, it will be open every Monday from the latter half of June through the first half of September.

It also said that “Hop Havoc Imperial Pale Ale” is scheduled to go on tap starting June 1. The post introduced it as a pour for hop lovers, and noted that Baird Beer uses whole hops in all of its beers, which gives the aroma a particularly vivid character. It looks like you'll be able to enjoy the hop personality that defines an imperial pale ale in fresh condition at the taproom.

Gofukumachi Taproom is a beer pub built around Baird Beer and is an easy stop in central Shizuoka. Located on the second floor, it's convenient to drop in after work or while out shopping. This announcement, which expands Monday hours heading into summer, is welcome news for beer lovers looking for a pint even on weekdays. Enjoying a standard Baird Beer while waiting for the first June tap opening should make the anticipation even better.
