MugiWhat? A brewpub at an agricultural festival? Craft beer at a festival sounds like an instant win!
Hop BroExactly. Jokun, which brews and serves food in Honcho, Tokamachi, is taking its beer out of the pub and into a local event.
MugiSo what’s the star beer? Since it’s a farm festival, is it a grand rice-beer parade?
Hop BroThe highlight is a collaboration with JA Uonuma: Yukishita Carrot Saison. It’s a saison made with carrots grown beneath the snow.
MugiWhat’s a saison? Is it about the season? And this isn’t carrot juice with foam on top pretending to be beer, right?!
Hop BroClose, but no foamy carrot juice. A saison is a farmhouse-style beer, known for a light body and spicy aroma—great territory for carrot character.
MugiWow! I want to taste how the snowy-grown carrots bring their sweetness and flavor into the beer.
Hop BroOther Jokun beers will be available too, and the carrot saison will have limited bottle sales. Getting there early sounds wise.
MugiAll right—enjoy the festival, grab a bottle, and toast again at home! A local-flavor pint sounds irresistible right now!
Jokun Brewing joins the JA Uonuma festival
Jokun Brewing, a brewpub based in Honcho, Tokamachi, Niigata, will make its first appearance at the agricultural festival at the JA Uonuma main branch. The local brewery and restaurant will bring its beers to the community event outside its usual taproom setting.
