MugiFirst booth appearance is exciting! But we'll be able to drink it at the shop too, right? When are the two unveiling days?
Hop BroApril 11 to 12, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., is the start of serving their own brew. Being able to follow the just-brewed beer from the kettle all the way to the shop is the best.
MugiWhat is that! What exactly is a challenge beer? A name? A style? A spell?
Hop BroHere, challenge means a beer that tries experimental recipes and methods. This time it's an unannounced experimental brew, so the details are something to look forward to on the day.
MugiOhh, a mystery beer! So that's where you can drink it? At the Tochigi Beer Festa venue, right?
Hop BroThat's right, it's being entered in the Tochigi Beer Festa at Utsunomiya Light Cube from April 17 to 19. Since it's a gathering of breweries from across the prefecture, it's a paradise for tastings!
