Hop BroHakata is about to get busy, because Setouchi no Utage kicks off on June 4 at JR Hakata Station Square. The one spreading the word is Hideji Beer from Nobeoka, Miyazaki.
MugiWhat! Four days, free entry right by the station? That sounds dangerously convenient after work!
Hop BroAnd it is stacked: 30 craft beers plus Setouchi seafood, local sake, and citrus. That is a pretty serious food-and-beer event.
MugiThirty is too many! But wait, beer names aren't listed in the article? My stomach is ready before my plan is!
Hop BroRight, the article does not get into specific labels, but with Yamaguchi Ji-Beer, Skyhop Brewing, HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING, Dogo Beer, DD4D BREWING, and LIBROM there, the style range should be excellent.
MugiHold on, beer style means what exactly? We are not talking about the foam's hairstyle, right?
Hop BroThis is the key part: it is basically a flavor blueprint. IPA means brighter hop character, lager means a cleaner finish, so it tells you the drinking profile.
MugiOhhh! So with Setouchi food pairings, I can test what works with seafood and what works with citrus?
Hop BroExactly. Hideji Beer already has strong presence at Kyushu events, and this post even mentioned a hop-owner stamp for fans, so they are clearly building community too.
Mugi"Hop owner" sounds weirdly powerful! But first, my top mission is securing my first pint at Hakata before anything else.
Hop BroThat is the right strategy. During those four days through June 7, we should start with Hideji Beer and then make a full lap through the Setouchi breweries.
MugiAgreed! A Setouchi beer trip without leaving Hakata sounds too good, and now I am officially thirsty.
