Hop BroYokohama Brewery is holding its 27th anniversary festival at its UMAYA restaurant on November 3. It is a big celebration for a brewery that has brewed in Yokohama since 1999!
MugiWow! Twenty-seven years brewing is amazing. I thought craft beer was a newer thing, but Yokohama Beer has been loved for so long.
Hop BroExactly. Yokohama Beer makes core beers, seasonal releases, and local collaborations—it is truly Yokohama's local beer.
MugiSo it is a festival with the local community too? Please tell me I can arrive hungry.
Hop BroAbsolutely. At last year's event, there was all-you-can-drink beer with more than eight Yokohama Beer varieties, plus takoyaki and special BBQ. An anniversary for your stomach, too.
MugiA stomach anniversary—perfect! But is there a featured beer this time? The word “limited” gets me every time.
Hop BroWatch for White Koji Sour IPA, YOKOHAMA BEERBIKE BEER 5th anniversary. It celebrates Yokohama Beerbike's fifth year and comes in at an easygoing 4.0% ABV.
MugiWhat is that? I know koji from rice fermentation, and a Sour IPA sounds sour and bitter at once. Too many flavors incoming!
Hop BroWhite koji brings a bright, refreshing tartness, while Sour IPA combines acidity with hop aroma. Super Sauvin hops add a bright aromatic lift—my tasting vocabulary is fermenting now.
MugiDo not ferment your vocabulary! Still, a beer inspired by touring Yokohama on a beer bike sounds like a perfect UMAYA toast.
Hop BroIt should be a day for brewers, fans, restaurants, and producers to celebrate 27 years together. Check the official site and Instagram for tickets and details, then raise a glass.
MugiDone! I want great food, Yokohama Beer, and my first White Koji Sour IPA. See you at UMAYA on November 3—cheers!
