Hop BroOn April 29, it's a tasting showdown at Ryutokushi in Fukushima. Minoh Beer will have four kinds lined up, and it's an event where you can enjoy them with food.
MugiWait, you can attend without a reservation!? It's a relief that you can just drop in like that!
Hop BroExactly. It's from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., so you can go from day drinking to night drinking. It's strong with Chinese bites too.
MugiBut what does non-heat-treated and unfiltered mean? This suddenly feels like a science class!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means they don't alter the flavor with heat and keep filtration to a minimum, so yeast and aromas are more likely to remain. That's why the expression changes when you pair it with food.
MugiOh, I see! So it's like the malt richness colliding with the oiliness and aroma of Chinese food and getting along? Now I'm hungry!
Hop BroThat's the idea. Plus, the venue Ryutokushi seems strong on dishes that bring out the ingredients, and there's even a hint that Peking duck may show up. The pairing is just too good.
MugiPeking duck too!? At that point, it's an event with no side characters, where you can't tell whether the beer or the food is the star!
Hop BroAnd Minoh Beer was born in Minoh City, Osaka, and has been recognized around the world, so the four-beer tasting is pretty luxurious. Even the regulars and seasonal releases transform depending on what you pair them with.
MugiJust dropping in, tasting four beers, and finishing with Peking duck... just imagining it is a win! I can think about nothing but beer today!
Osaka's Minoh Beer will hold a pairing event at the Chinese bar Ryutokushi in Fukushima. On its official Instagram, the brewery says it will have four kinds of Minoh Beer on hand that day, inviting guests to enjoy them alongside the food. It also says the owner, Mr. Otaki, has been a long-time acquaintance, so the day is likely to make the most of that relationship as well.

It is known for using carefully selected malt and hops and finishing its beers without heat treatment or filtration, and it offers a broad lineup ranging from flagship beers to seasonal limited releases. Because this brewery has earned recognition in competitions around the world, even the same beer can feel different when paired with food.
The venue this time, Ryutokushi, is expected to serve Chinese dishes that make the most of their ingredients and pair well with beer. The post also hints that Peking duck may appear on the day, making it the kind of event worth visiting not only for the beer tasting but also for the food.
