Kotokoto Beer to join Nara Club craft beer fest on Sept. 2
Kotokoto Beer, based in Kizugawa, Kyoto, will take part in the Nara Club Craft Beer Fest at Rohto Field Nara on September 2. The event will run alongside a Levain Cup first-round night match and bring together six breweries.
Hop BroHere’s one for both soccer fans and beer fans: KotoKoto Beer from Kizugawa, Kyoto is joining the Nara Club Craft Beer Fest.
MugiWhat! You get soccer and craft beer at the same time? And it starts at 4:00 PM , so you can get a proper pre-game pint in!
Hop BroExactly. It’s at Rohto Field Nara, timed with a night match in the Levain Cup first round, and six breweries are showing up.
MugiNo way! Just hearing a beer at the stadium already sounds like a celebration, but wait, is a brewery basically the stylish version of a beer factory?
Hop BroThat’s pretty close. KotoKoto Beer is a brewery based in Kizugawa , meaning they make and serve their own beer from their local base.
MugiOkay, that suddenly got serious! But when you say pouring from a keg , what’s actually different about that?
Hop BroIt means the beer is served from a keg through a draft system, so you really notice freshness and carbonation. For this event, the lineup isn’t announced yet , which makes it even more fun.
MugiThat is so unfair in the best way! If it’s a surprise on the day , my brain is already guessing IPA, lager, and everything in between!
Hop BroAnd the match itself is Nara Club vs Sagan Tosu , so the whole flow is perfect: beer before kickoff, soccer during, and a nice afterglow afterward.
MugiThat sounds way too good. If I can stop by after work and sip in the evening breeze, the time until 7:00 PM kickoff will disappear instantly!
Hop BroWhen the excitement of soccer meets the freedom of craft beer, even a one-night event sticks with you. A pint at Rohto Field Nara sounds like a very good idea.
MugiThat settles it then! On the night of September 2 , I want to be drinking KotoKoto Beer and getting hyped before the match even starts!
