Hop BroExactly. It’s a strolling event format that moves you through locations including Manchin Brewing (MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO), and it’s packed with music, art, a flea market, and a marche.
MugiWait, what! Does that strolling event format mean it’s a getting-lost festival?!
Hop BroNot lost, just designed so hopping around is part of the fun. There are five venues like GASBON METABOLISM, and the brewery space will also be used as a marche venue.
MugiWhoa! And it’s 2,000 yen admission from 11:00 to 20:00, so it’s one of those all-day fun deals!
Hop BroFrom a craft beer angle, the fact that Manchin Brewing / Manchin Saketen is listed under the “sake” category is seriously hot. This time, the star is Manchin Brewing’s craft beer.
MugiDo they know what beers or styles they’re pouring? Is this like day-of tap info?
Hop BroThe post doesn’t reveal individual labels yet, but the appeal is the pairing of Manchin beer with local food. It’s interesting that they even mention Chechemene’s beer-related bread making.
MugiI can already see the future: watch live music, eat bread, and finish with a glass of Manchin’s beer! On March 28, let’s head to Hokuto and experience a reason to drink on site!
