GOOD HOPS Introduces Anniversary Item "Do Good" on Instagram
GOOD HOPS in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, introduced its 1st-anniversary item, "Do Good," on Instagram. The brewery has been built around hop farming and brewing in Tono, and with its taproom's first-anniversary campaign also underway in May, it is building up the celebratory mood.
Hop BroToday it's about GOOD HOPS' 1st anniversary in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture. They introduced the commemorative item 'Do Good' on Instagram, and the taproom is also one year old in May since opening.
MugiWhoa! Even the name Do Good is already intriguing! It sounds like 'let's do something good,' and before you even drink the beer, humanity begins!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. GOOD HOPS is a brewery that works from hop cultivation to brewing, centered on Tono-grown hops, and it's aiming to 'open up the future of Japanese hops.'
MugiWait, hops are grown in fields? And they brew too, all at once? Cultivation to brewing, is it really okay to pack everything in like that?!
Hop BroIt is. They grow hops in their own managed fields, and research how to turn them into beer. In other words, this is a brewery that pursues the character of its hops from start to finish.
MugiSo it's like the mood of the field gets brewed into the beer? But 'research and development' makes it sound like a science lab all of a sudden. I'd kind of like to drink a research-and-development-type beer!
Hop BroExactly, the science-lab vibe is the right take. And May is also the first-anniversary campaign for the taproom, with commemorative beer sales, glasses, tenugui, and even an anniversary lottery, so the celebratory mood is in full swing.
MugiAn anniversary lottery too!? It's basically a festival already, and with anniversary goods too, my urge to buy things is unstoppable. The tenugui is definitely going to be cute, right!
Hop Bro'Do Good' is positioned as a new anniversary release in that flow. Rather than hyping it up dramatically, it feels like the land and the brewery's philosophy are seeping through, which is very GOOD HOPS.
MugiWow, I love that! It's nice that it's not just a commemorative item, but a story about the land. Just imagining the wind of Tono and the aroma of hops is making me want a drink!
Hop BroRight. Just the phrase 'a glass from Tono' is moving, and it would be perfect if you could go during the anniversary month in May.
MugiThen tonight is decided! Let's start by looking for a local beer bar with the feeling of wanting to drink Do Good!
