AFTER SCHOOL BREWERY in Ikejiri-Ohashi announced on Instagram, 'After-School Broadcasting Club #7 is now streaming!' This episode is themed around 'Graduation, new beginnings, and the 100th toast,' and is being delivered from HOME/WORK VILLAGE, a hub built by repurposing a former junior high school.

This time's pick is Brewstars Yacht Club's "Guava Hazy IPA" from the affiliated Hayama, Kanagawa location. In the caption, while touching on the brewery's 100th batch, it introduces the background behind this special release. Rather than simply a new product introduction, it is positioned as a pint that looks back on everything built up so far, which is especially striking.

The program also covers 'Private Beer Conference,' which digs into Japanese beer history; a local introduction to KINNOE, the fermentation companion on the 1F of the same facility; advice for worries about starting a new life; and 'This Week's Beer Fortune.' Structured to be listened to while drinking beer, it also picks up the culture and human connections surrounding craft beer.

AFTER SCHOOL BREWERY is a brewery in Ikejiri-Ohashi, Setagaya, Tokyo. In an atmosphere reminiscent of a school, it is characterized by experiences centered on beer. In the article's introduction at the time of publication, snacks and pizza are available inside, and you can also bring in food purchased from other stores in the facility. It seems like a place for people who want to savor the atmosphere of the venue itself, not just a single beer.

This announcement tied together "drink," "listen," and "learn" in line with the spring milestone. Using the Guava Hazy IPA as a starting point, it would also be interesting to follow the activities of AFTER SCHOOL BREWERY and its affiliated Brewstars Yacht Club.
