Egokoya Brewery in Ibaraki will hold a one-day-only brewery tour event to commemorate its third anniversary. The venue is inside the brewery, and the event will run on March 29 from 11:00 to 17:00. No reservation is required, and visitors can enjoy tours, tastings, and purchases all in one place.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about Egokoya Brewery's 3rd anniversary event. On March 29 from 11:00 to 17:00, there's a one-day-only brewery tour at the brewery in Ibaraki.
MugiWhat! A one-day-only tour is so rare! And being able to go inside the brewery is seriously interesting!
Hop BroWhat's great about this is that no reservation is required. You can do the tour, tasting, and purchase everything on the spot, and you can even talk directly with the brewers.
MugiWhat? But if it turns into a flood of technical terms, I might freeze... If they start saying things like mash tun, I'll just lock up!
Hop BroDon't worry, a mash tun is basically the brewing vessel. It's where the malt's flavor is drawn out with hot water, so it's essentially a process like "making stock" for beer.
MugiOhh! So this means we'll know the beer names and styles too? I'm the type who wants to know in advance what we can drink!
Hop BroAt the time of the article, the beer names hadn't been announced yet. But there will be a tasting session, so the point is that you can compare different styles on the day.
MugiAnd did you hear that!? You get a sticker if you buy 6 bottles, right? That's basically targeting collector instincts!
Hop BroEgokoya started in 2023 on the shores of Lake Kasumigaura, and they brew in a renovated former sake brewery storehouse. I like that you can experience that locally rooted atmosphere in person.
MugiIt's decided! Let's do the whole see, hear, and taste experience, and then take our favorites home at the end. Just reading this made me thirsty!
