Hibinovia in Sakai Pre-opens Shimanami Brewery and Kankiku Beers Before Sept. 6 Event
At Hibinovia Craft Beer Kitchen & Store in Sakai, Osaka, the Shimanami Brewery x Kankiku Brewery event set for Sept. 6 is getting an early start with pre-opened beers. The bar opens at 6 p.m. on Sept. 4 and accepts reservations.
Hop BroSakai's basement beer scene is unusually hot tonight. Early tapping night is happening at Hibinobia Craft Beer Kitchen & Store, where both breweries are pouring ahead of the September 6 Shimanami Brewery x Kankiku Brewery event.
MugiWait, you can drink early before the main event? That's like getting a sneak preview concert with beer!
Hop BroExactly. Shimanami Brewery is bringing "Strike Pilsner" and "Shimanami Super Lemon Sour," and Kankiku Brewery adds "RICE ALE," "IPA," "RISING PILSNER #2 Motueka Ver.," and "YOUR KRUSH" for a 21-beer lineup overall.
MugiTwenty-one beers!? My brain is foaming already. Also, what does early tapping even mean, a keg false start?
Hop BroThat's basically it. They hook up the kegs before the full event, so you get lagers, IPAs, and even stout in one compare-and-drink paradise.
Mugi"RISING PILSNER #2 Motueka Ver." has a spell-casting vibe though. Am I ordering beer or summoning weather?
Hop BroMotueka is a hop variety from New Zealand, known for limey and tropical aromas. So behind that serious name, it's really just bright citrus character in the glass.
MugiOkay, that helps! And on September 6 there's also Many Hands, One Coast, right? That name already tastes like sea breeze and good decisions.
Hop BroRight, and that's a collaboration with PAINT PALETTE BREWING, Any Brew, and Hibinobia. Add the tap takeover, talk live, and lottery, and you've got a full weekend package.
MugiSince September 4 starts at 6 p.m. and takes reservations, I want to settle into that underground beer pub and go from lemon sour to IPA like I'm studying for finals.
Hop BroThat's the right plan. Start with "Strike Pilsner," then work toward smoke lager and Helles, because now I want a pint immediately.
Early pours
Hibinovia Craft Beer Kitchen & Store, in the basement of a building in Sakai, Osaka, is opening beers from Shimanami Brewery and Kankiku Brewery ahead of the Sept. 6 pop-up event. On Sept. 4, service starts at 6 p.m., and reservations are accepted.
The taps include Shimanami Brewery's `Strike Pilsner` and `Shimanami Super Lemon Sour`, plus Kankiku Brewery beers such as `RICE ALE`, `IPA`, `RISING PILSNER #2 Motueka Ver.`, and `YOUR KRUSH`. Other names on the list include `Lager no Gyakushu 01 Smoke Lager`, `Dark Rubber Lager`, and `KANKIKU HELLES#3`. In total, 21 beers across kegs and cans are lined up, covering lager, IPA, stout, and more.
For the weekend
The main event on Sept. 6 adds a full tap takeover, talk sessions, and a raffle. The bar's limited collaboration beer, `Many Hands, One Coast`, also stands out as a three-way project with PAINT PALETTE BREWING, Eni-Bru, and Hibinovia. For beer fans, the night works as a practical preview of both breweries before the weekend crowd arrives.
