Hop BroRight. Butterfly Brewery from Kasugai, Aichi was chosen again as the venue beer for the Nagoya performance of "CHILL CLASSIC CONCERT -CINEMA COLLECTION 2026-" on March 7 and 8, 2026, making it two years in a row!
MugiWait, two years in a row? That is incredible! Craft beer in a classical concert venue is basically an overload of style!
Hop BroAnd the beers being served are "Trumpet" and "Bassoon." Using instrument names ties directly into the brewery's music concept, which is seriously cool.
MugiOhhh! So what do those two taste like? Just from the names, they sound like they should be performed, not drunk!
Hop BroTrumpet is a Weizen at 5.5% alcohol. It is a hoppy weizen made with Citra hops, so the refreshing character really comes forward.
MugiHold on, what even is a hoppy weizen? That sounds too intense, like a spell!
Hop BroSimply put, it's the softness of a wheat beer with the citrusy aroma of hops added in. It's light and airy, and it goes down surprisingly smoothly.
MugiThat sounds amazing! What about Bassoon? From the name alone, it sounds like the bass section, so it must be bitter!
Hop BroBassoon is a West Coast IPA, also at 5.5%. It has a lively aroma and a moderate, well-balanced bitterness. Even the description frames it as a "versatile beer," so it should pair well with food too.
MugiA show where sleeping is okay, eating and drinking are okay, and chatting is okay, plus those two beers? That's unfair! If I can buy them at the venue, in stores, or online, I want to toast with Trumpet and Bassoon right now!
According to an announcement released by Butterfly Brewery on February 27, 2026, the brewery's craft beer will be served at "CHILL CLASSIC CONCERT -CINEMA COLLECTION 2026-," which will be held on Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Hall 2 of Port Messe Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture.
This marks the second consecutive year the brewery has been selected for the performance. The related page also clearly states that Butterfly Brewery's beers were chosen for the 2025 and 2026 Nagoya performances, showing an ongoing collaboration with the music event.
The two beers being sold this time are:
- Trumpet: Weizen, Alc. 5.5%
- Bassoon: West Coast IPA, Alc. 5.5%
The description positions Trumpet as a refreshing hoppy weizen made with Citra hops, while Bassoon is presented as a versatile beer with aroma and a moderate bitterness. Both are available for purchase in stores and online.
Butterfly Brewery is based in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, and opened on November 3, 2021. Under the concept of "a place where you can drink beer while listening to music," it has held mini concerts throughout the year. Its choice to use instrument names for its beers is also closely tied to these activities.
CHILL CLASSIC CONCERT itself is known as a performance that embraces the motto "sleeping is okay, eating and drinking are okay, and chatting is okay," drawing in a wide audience including classical music beginners. In a venue where people can immerse themselves in music with ease, how craft beer is paired with the experience should be worth watching. Over these two days, it looks set to be a must-see event for beer fans in the Tokai region as well.
