An announcement of a new tap arrived from the beer pub CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI in Honcho, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture.

This time's release is NOVORU BREWING's Hodoku. The style is Weizen Bock, and the shop describes it as a "slightly richer Weizen." It is being introduced as a beer that balances the soft wheat character typical of a Weizen with the fuller body of a bock, making it a good choice for Weizen fans.

For food pairings, the shop says it goes well with salsiccia. The combination of a hearty meat dish with a beer that has malt sweetness and body is an easy-to-imagine, pub-style pairing.

The shop's post also announces the regular Lady Honkerz Live starting at 6:30 p.m. on April 5. The live show is said to feature a wide range of tones that you would not expect from saxophone alone, and because it is a two-set performance, even those who cannot make it by 6:30 can still enjoy it. With a new beer release and a live performance on the same day, the shop should be a place where guests can spend time with both food and music.

CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI is a beer pub near Funabashi Station where you can enjoy craft beer. Its style of combining new guest beers with music events clearly reflects what makes the shop distinctive. This Hodoku is one to watch as a beer to savor slowly.
