MugiWait, it's only a three-day festival!? Then I have no choice but to clear my schedule.
Hop BroThe venue is Shukusai no Hiroba, the Toyota Corolla Oita spot, right? Breweries from all over the prefecture are gathering there, so the tasting comparison should be a lot of fun.
MugiA tasting comparison sounds great, but what should I actually drink? When there are too many options, I freeze up from too many choices syndrome.
Hop BroIn that case, the smart move is to start with the classics, and CAN MAN ALE and SENDO IPA are the ones to focus on. IPA stands out for its hop aroma and bitterness, so it's a good first drink.
MugiHop aroma is that different!? I always thought it was just a bitter drink...
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it: hops don't just add bitterness, they also bring out citrusy aromas. So with a beer like SENDO IPA, the trick is to enjoy the aroma first.
MugiSo basically, drink it through your nose! I'm going all in as an aroma-first person!
Hop BroAnd the post also hinted that the Golden Week business schedule will be announced soon, so it looks like you'll be able to keep enjoying beer at the Saiki shop too. It's the perfect transition from spring into early summer.
MugiWow, drinking at the event and then again in Saiki sounds amazing! I'm already in the mood for more than just one glass today.
Hop BroExactly, spring beer weather really fits. News like this makes you want to head out for a drink after work.
MugiTotally! I'm already fully on standby for my weekend drink. From April 24 to 26, I'll be doing my own cheers in my head!
