Yaho Brewing launches "Yona Yona Ale University" in Shinagawa; regular five-beer tasting classes to be held
Yaho Brewing, based in Miyota Town, Nagano Prefecture, will launch the seminar event "Yona Yona Ale University: Craft Beer 101 - Five-Beer Comparison Class" in front of Shinagawa Intercity. While learning the basics of craft beer, participants can taste five varieties side by side and put their own preferences into words.
Hop BroAt Shinagawa, Yaho Brewing is opening Yona Yona Ale University. It's a pretty interesting program as an introduction to craft beer.
MugiWhat! Is the university really like a school? Getting to study while drinking beer sounds kind of fun!
Hop BroThat's right, the venue is YONA YONA TOKYO BREWERY. Yaho Brewing, based at its Miyota brewery, is holding a weekday evening class in front of Shinagawa Intercity.
MugiHuh! But when you compare five varieties, can you really tell that much difference? I might only be able to say whether it's bitter or tasty!
Hop BroThat's the point: you learn by comparing aroma, bitterness, and body. In other words, it's a class to practice putting your preferences into words.
MugiWhat is that! If I could do that, I'd suddenly sound like a beer expert. And if it's Craft Beer 101, beginners can relax too!
Hop BroAnd it's not just a tasting; the staff explains things, which is nice. It's a hands-on event that's very much in line with a company that has built Yona Yona Ale.
MugiWhat, and it's limited to 12 people per session!? That's so first-come, first-served that my finger is about to hammer the reservation button!
Hop BroReservations open at 12:00 on April 6 on a first-come, first-served basis, and the participation fee is 2,750 yen per person (tax included). There are two sessions, on April 22 and May 27, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., so it's easy to go after work.
MugiI want to go! Being able to learn after work is perfect, and if I can say, "I like this!" while drinking afterward, that's basically a win!
Hop BroYeah, whether you're a Yona Yona Ale fan or a first-timer, by the end you'll probably want to drink tonight. I'm starting to want a drink after the class myself.
Event Overview
Yaho Brewing, based in Miyota Town, Nagano Prefecture, will hold the seminar event "Yona Yona Ale University: Craft Beer 101 - Five-Beer Comparison Class" at YONA YONA TOKYO BREWERY, in front of the atrium on B1F of Building A at Shinagawa Intercity. The event will be held twice, on Wednesday, April 22 and Wednesday, May 27. Each session runs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and attendance is limited to 12 people by advance reservation only.
Class Details
During the class, Yaho Brewing staff will explain while participants compare five representative beer styles in cans. Even if you know the names of craft beers, it can be hard to tell the differences, or to explain what you like. This format is designed to help you learn by organizing differences in aroma, bitterness, and body.
Company Background
Yaho Brewing is a brewery that has introduced craft beers with distinct personalities, including Yona Yona Ale. Based at its Miyota brewery, the company has also worked to broaden not just beer flavor, but how people enjoy it and what they know about it. This "Yona Yona Ale University" can be seen as a place to convey that attitude as an experiential event.
Key Points
The venue is set for weekday evenings, making it easy to stop by after work and convenient for people working in the Shinagawa area. Rather than being just a tasting session, it is characterized by helping participants learn the criteria for choosing beer. It should be a chance to systematically learn the differences in flavor for fans of Yona Yona Ale as well as readers who want to deepen their enjoyment of craft beer from here on out.
Reservations open on Monday, April 6 at 12:00 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. The participation fee is 2,750 yen per person (tax included).
