At the beer pub "HOPJAPAN Taproom Iwaki" in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, a 3rd anniversary event will be held over two days, Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25.

The main attraction this time is the advance sale of the 3rd anniversary beer "Afterglow." It is scheduled to be tapped from 5:00 p.m. on April 24, and will appear as a limited-edition beer marking the anniversary milestone. Bottle purchase bonuses are also planned: anyone who orders "Afterglow" by the pint can join a no-loss lottery, and customers who buy three or more bottles will receive a sticker gift.

On the day of the event, the venue will add more dining space indoors and provide tables and chairs as well. As a taproom on the 3rd floor of a station building, it should be easy to stop by casually while also offering a setup where guests can relax and enjoy beer at their leisure.

Starting around 6:00 p.m. on both days, a microphone talk and a rock-paper-scissors tournament by head office staff are also scheduled. The participating staff will be President Homma and brewmaster Murasue on April 24, and President Homma and PR representative Kawamoto on April 25. New T-shirts will also be prepared as prizes.

Its location directly connected to Iwaki Station is part of the appeal, making it easy to visit after work or while out shopping on the weekend. It looks set to be a valuable chance to soak up the anniversary atmosphere and pick up HOPJAPAN's 3rd anniversary beer "Afterglow."
