South Horizon Brewing to Open a Limited-Time Pop-Up at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens
South Horizon Brewing, based in Kochi City, announced a limited-time pop-up at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens' 1F South Mall from July 13 to July 21. The move brings the brewery's Kochi-made craft beer to Nishinomiya for a short run.
Hop BroToday's story is that South Horizon Brewing is popping up at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens South Mall 1F from July 13 to 21.
MugiWait, a Kochi brewery is coming to Nishinomiya? A limited-time pop-up like that is dangerous for both my schedule and my thirst!
Hop BroExactly. They started in 2023 at Kochi Shinko Takadai Ryokuchi and brew with high-quality ingredients while also doing seasonal releases.
MugiWhoa, that's a lot already! Hearing six core beers makes my brain start drafting a tasting strategy.
Hop BroA good first stop is the West Coast IPA, All Aboard. It's got bright hop aroma and a crisp, satisfying bitterness.
MugiHold on, what even is West Coast IPA? Is that a phrase you only understand with ocean wind in your face?
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA with sharp bitterness and citrusy hop aroma up front, usually cleaner and drier on the finish.
MugiOkay, that helps! Then I need to ask about YUZU GOSE in Junos Pandemic. Is it like beer meeting a yuzu sour?
Hop BroClose enough to picture it. Gose brings light salinity and gentle tartness, and the yuzu makes it super refreshing in hot weather.
MugiThat sounds ridiculous in the best way. And the brewery has a beer restaurant, bottle shop, and house-roasted coffee? That's a detour grand slam!
Hop BroYep, and the beer names borrow from ships and sailor terms, while the packaging reflects the Tosa Bay horizon. You really get the port-town identity, and now I want a full tasting flight.
MugiSame here. One stop in Nishinomiya and suddenly I'm dreaming of Kochi too. That's a beer with a journey, and I want it now!
