Hop BroThis week's highlight is the 'Late-Blooming Cherry Blossom Agehai Festival', where Moji Port Beer Factory is setting up a stall. On April 24 and 25, you can enjoy craft beer along with springtime food walks at Kumate Gintengai in Kurosaki.
MugiWhat, a beer event in Kurosaki!? And it's a festival of cherry blossoms and gourmet food? Just hearing that makes me hungry!
Hop BroExactly. It's from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the 24th and from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the 25th, and it's a 9-minute walk from JR Kurosaki Station. Being close to the station and open until night is a big plus.
MugiI've heard the name Moji Port Beer Factory, but what kind of brewery is it? It feels like a long-established Moji Port brand, but what's special about it?
Hop BroIts roots go back to 1996, when it encountered craft beer in Tacoma, U.S., and Moji Port Beer was completed in 1998. And because it's a small-batch draft beer with no heat pasteurization or filtration, the flavor comes through clearly.
MugiNo heat pasteurization, no filtration... wait, is that safe!? That sounds really delicate!
Hop BroIt is safe, but it requires careful handling. In short, it keeps the beer's individuality intact. Its living flavor is the appeal, and Moji Port Beer Factory takes traditional European styles into account.
MugiOhhh! So what kinds of beer can you drink? I'm curious when you say standard styles!
Hop BroWeizen, pale ale, and pilsner are the core lineup. Weizen in particular has a soft wheat-derived character, and it's excellent as a flavor that complements food.
MugiThat sounds delicious! And the event is centered on freshly fried food, right? Fried food and beer are way too perfect together!
Hop BroThat's exactly the point. Moji Port Beer Factory also makes Metzgerei M, its line of homemade ham and sausages, so it knows how to match food well. The beer should cut right through the oil from the fried dishes.
MugiThat's amazing! With the stamp rally and the raffle too, it sounds like a full-on shopping street banquet!
Hop BroExactly. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms, snack on freshly fried food, and finish with a glass from Moji Port. This is definitely a strong contender for tonight's drink.
MugiYeah, I really want to drink now! I can't wait to go raise a glass in Kurosaki!
