Hop BroFujizakura Kogen Beer brewed a commemorative beer for its 28th Anniversary Thanksgiving Festival. What’s especially exciting this time is that two people who won brewing rights at last year’s festival also took part.
MugiWait, customers get to join the brewing!? That sounds like the kind of event that’s already fun before you even drink the beer!
Hop BroExactly. The stage is the brewery at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, and you can really feel that open, community-rooted atmosphere.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of beer is it? Since it’s a lager type, does that mean it’s the crisp, refreshing kind?
Hop BroThat’s exactly it. The detailed recipe is still under wraps, but if it goes as previewed, the stars should be the crisp finish and refreshing quality, which seems like a great match for the warming season.
MugiI hear people say ‘crisp finish’ a lot, but what does that even mean? Like, it’s easy to drink in a clean, sharp way?
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking, that’s right. Lager is fermented at relatively low temperatures, so it tends to have fewer rough edges and a cleaner, sharper aftertaste. What Mugi-chan called ‘easy to drink in a clean, sharp way’ is pretty close.
MugiGot it! And this is an event-born beer, which makes it kind of romantic. Beer made together like that must taste extra special!
Hop BroExactly. Involving fans at an anniversary milestone is very much like Fujizakura Kogen Beer, and that feeling of an open brewing process is what makes it so great.
MugiAnd the early tap opening is on July 4, right? Anyone who can go to the venue that day is seriously lucky!
Hop BroTotally. Being able to drink a summer-friendly lager first while feeling the air at the foot of Mt. Fuji would make anyone excited. It makes me want to raise a glass right now.
MugiYeah, hearing all that is enough to put me in beer mode already! I’m really looking forward to the preview tap, so let’s celebrate in spirit until the day comes!
