Hop BroGrau Craft beer bar in Fujimino is going to get pretty hot over the three days of its 5th anniversary. April 1 and 2 are the tap-clearing festival, and April 3 is the main anniversary event.
MugiWait, what's a tap-clearing festival? It sounds like an event where you go after the leftovers on a day when there aren't many taps, and I'm excited already~.
Hop BroExactly, and if you visit you'll get one of these: peat peanuts, spicy cheese sticks, or Japanese-style pickles with daikon and cumin. With an snack service too, the first-come-first-served feel is irresistible.
MugiWhat is that, my stomach's already growling before I even drink! And a gray-toned space sounds a little grown-up and nice for a relaxed drink.
Hop BroApril 3 is even bigger. They'll tap the anniversary beers from NAMACHAn and CRANC, who've collaborated every year since the first anniversary, and they're also doing a NAMACHAn takeover.
MugiA tap takeover is the one where all the taps get filled by that brewery, right? The moment the beers line up, even the atmosphere in the bar must change!
Hop BroExactly, it's like practically taking over the kegs. This time the brewer is also expected to show up, and there'll be a rock-paper-scissors tournament plus snacks from Chubby-san, who took part in the brewing, so it really has a strong anniversary-event feel.
MugiWait, the brewer is coming too? That's definitely a festival. And a rock-paper-scissors tournament is one of those things that's fun whether you win or lose~.
Hop BroThe ON TAP lineup that day is not to be missed either. It's a four-beer lineup with character: NARA : DAYLONG German Pilsner, MATSUMOTO : Traditional Bitter, CAMADO : Super SMaSH IPA SIMCOE, and CAMADO : Peak of Kinka.
MugiHearing that the bitter and strong ale are almost gone makes it feel like you absolutely can't miss them. I think I'd go for the Traditional Bitter first, then Peak of Kinka!
Hop BroThat's a good choice. The two nearly sold-out beers are best checked out early, and it's nice to line your palate with the light pilsner before going in.
MugiIt's decided! On April 3, let's go to Fujimino and toast with the anniversary beers~. Hop-nii, let's go drink together too, this is definitely going to be a good one!
