MugiWhat! So it's basically all of Iwate beer in one place? And Ryusendo Wakka already sounds like it has amazing water.
Hop BroExactly. Ryusendo Wakka is known for Ryusendo cave water and local ingredients, and that's a huge part of what makes the brewery special in Iwaizumi.
MugiNice! And it's great for a sightseeing stop too, right? Cave first, beer after, that's basically a perfect travel reward.
Hop BroAlso, the venue is moving this year to in front of the Morioka History and Culture Museum. The festival runs 11:00 to 17:00 on the 3rd, and 10:00 to 16:00 on the 4th.
MugiNo way, that's an all-Iwate beer level event. My stomach is ready before I am. But what are they actually pouring?
Hop BroThe exact lineup isn't confirmed yet, but the hashtags mentioned zakkoku weizen and IPA, plus Ryusendo Viber, Ryusen Yaezakura, and a strong ale.
MugiHold on, what is weizen? Is that a spell? If I say it loudly, does beer appear?
Hop BroClose, but that probably just summons a bartender. It's a soft wheat-beer style with gentle body and fluffy aroma. IPA is more hop-forward, and strong ale is the heavier hitter.
MugiOkay, now I get it. If they have both gentle and bold styles, I need those Ryusendo Wakka updates immediately. I'm already thirsty just imagining the taps.
