MugiWhat, Hokkaido beer in a department store!? The fact that you can compare them side by side already sounds heavenly!
Hop BroExactly. The really great part is that visitors can compare draft beers from breweries all over Hokkaido at the venue.
MugiWhat's draft beer, anyway! How is it different from bottled beer? You mean fresh beer?
Hop BroBasically, it comes straight from a keg, so it tends to have a fresher feel and more aroma. This time, North Island Beer will sell its five standard bottled beers.
MugiWow! And North Island Beer is an Ebetsu brewery, too. That Hokkaido vibe already tastes delicious.
Hop BroIt was started by brewers who trained in Canada, and their slogan is Beer is Art. They're good at making the most of local ingredients.
MugiWow, that's cool! But when you say they make use of the ingredients, what does that look like exactly? Do they use wheat from Ebetsu and things like that?
Hop BroExactly. For example, they make beers like a wheat Weissbier and limited brews using Hokkaido-grown hops, so the Hokkaido character really comes through.
MugiThat's amazing! Hokkaido vibes in Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka? That's basically cheating. I want to raise a toast right now!
North Island Beer from Ebetsu, Hokkaido, will appear at Osaka Takashimaya's "Early Summer Hokkaido Fair." The brewery announced on Instagram that it will be exhibiting from April 22 to May 6, and said that in addition to North Island Beer, visitors will be able to compare draft beers from breweries throughout Hokkaido at the venue.
North Island Beer is a brewery started by brewers who trained in Canada. On its official website, the brewery says it makes five standard beers as well as limited and seasonal releases, and promotes distinctive craft beer from Hokkaido under the slogan "Beer is Art." Its lineup also includes beers that make use of local ingredients, such as a Weissbier made with wheat from Ebetsu and limited brews using Hokkaido-grown hops.
There will be no staff stationed at the event this time, but the bottled beer lineup will include the five standard varieties sold continuously. The venue is Osaka Takashimaya at 5-1-5 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka. It is a chance to enjoy the flavors of Hokkaido in Osaka, and the exhibit conveys both the enjoyment of tasting beers side by side, as is fitting for a department store event, and the craft-oriented character of an Ebetsu brewery.
