DONZO Brewing marks 3rd anniversary with half-price drinks campaign
DONZO Brewing in Kotohira, Kagawa, will celebrate its third anniversary on June 17 and run a half-price drink campaign from June 18 to 22. The offer covers four original craft beers and selected soft drinks.
Hop BroThere’s a story from Kotohira worth opening with: DONZO Brewing’s 3rd anniversary comes with half-price eligible drinks from June 18 to June 22.
MugiWait, half-price drinks includes craft beer too? My wallet is already cheering louder than I am!
Hop BroYep, four original beers plus the 400-yen soft drinks are covered, and each person can order as many half-price rounds as they want.
MugiWhat! Unlimited discounted pours sounds dangerous in the best possible way. I’m getting field-trip energy.
Hop BroThe lineup is a four-beer set: Kotohira Kolsch, Kotohira IPA, Kotohira Pale Ale, and Shingu Tea Ale.
MugiOoh! But Kotohira Kolsch sounds cute and mysterious at the same time. What is it, exactly?
Hop BroKolsch is a top-fermented style, and DONZO’s version is light, easy to drink, and gives off a white-wine-like aroma.
MugiHold on, top-fermented? Is the beer fermenting with its chin up and acting superior?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a brewing approach that tends to give fruity aromas, so that soft wine-like note can float right out of the glass.
MugiOhhh, and if it’s a brewpub setup, that means I can drink beer made right next door? Vacation mode activated.
Hop BroExactly. The name comes from the nearby historic site Donzoro, and the brewery has settled into Kotohira’s Shinmachi shopping street, so locals and travelers can both drop in for beer, limited dishes, and the Donzo Dog.
Hop BroAnd during the anniversary, limited menu items are showing up too, so I’d start with the Kolsch and then work my way toward the Shingu Tea Ale.
MugiThat’s unfairly tempting. I want to go now, drink from the Kolsch to the IPA, and finish with a Donzo Dog and a proper cheers.
