MugiWhat? A Hidakawa, Kochi meetup in Gotanda? Beer-powered community time sounds way too fun!
Hop BroThe star is beer from BRAVE & BRAW, a Scottish craft brewery born in Hidakawa—and it is all-you-can-drink.
MugiAll-you-can-drink?! That sounds dangerously tempting! But does “Scottish” mean Scottish-style beer?
Hop BroExactly. It reflects the brewery’s roots and identity. Specific beers and styles have not been announced, but it is a chance to enjoy a beer tied to place.
MugiSo IPA or stout will be a surprise? I’ll probably double-check every beer name at the menu!
Hop BroThat indecision is part of craft beer’s charm. The theme is relocation and entrepreneurship, with the mayor Kazuhiko Matsuoka and local residents joining the toast.
MugiCheers with the mayor?! I’d be so nervous that even my foam would shake!
Hop BroNo worries—there will also be lightning talks about discovering Hidakawa and current projects. It is time to share connections.
MugiSo even people who do not live there can meet fellow supporters. With beer, first meetings start easier!
Hop BroAdmission is ¥6,000 with food included; capacity is around 20 and advance registration is required. The easy-to-reach Grafton offers a cozy basement pub.
MugiThen let’s toast Hidakawa with BRAVE & BRAW on October 4! Drink, talk, and connect, Hop Bro!
