HNB Tap Takeover at Sakeota for Two Days on May 8 and 9
Hiroshima-based brewery HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING will hold a tap takeover at Sakeota in Sagamiono, Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The event will run for two days, from the evening of May 8 through May 9, and will feature HNB beers.
Hop BroHiroshima's HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING, or HNB for short, is taking over Sakeota in Sagamiono for two whole days. The tap takeover runs from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on May 8, and from 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the 9th, so it's pretty hot stuff.
MugiWait, what's a tap takeover? Does that mean all the beers at the shop turn into HNB?
Hop BroExactly. Basically, HNB takes over the taps so you can drink a whole lineup at once. The good part is that they'll have everything from their standard favorites to beers they want people to try on this occasion.
MugiOh, wow! So it's basically a tasting paradise. Being able to enjoy sake too is kind of unusual, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's what makes Sakeota so fitting. HNB is a brewery in Otemachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, near the east side of Peace Memorial Park and close to Hondori, and their slogan is that beer tastes good because there is peace.
MugiThat sounds lovely... But how does Hiroshima-grown ingredients actually show up in the beer?
Hop BroWhen you use local ingredients, the aroma and finish can carry a sense of place. The article doesn't go into specific beer styles, but it does make clear that they're aiming for that want-to-drink-it-again-and-again HNB character.
MugiI get it, but beer flavor profiles are hard! Can you still enjoy it without style names?
Hop BroAbsolutely. The fun of a tap takeover is experiencing it all in one shot rather than focusing on the fine specs. And with a rock-paper-scissors tournament too, it's not just about drinking.
MugiI want to play rock-paper-scissors, taste everything, and end by toasting to HNB's sense of unity! Now I really want to go to Sakeota!
