Egret Brewery adds wine and upgraded food to its 4th anniversary event
Egret Brewery, Himeji’s first craft brewery, will hold its 4th anniversary event on July 19 and 20. The new announcement says wine will be added at customer request, alongside an upgraded food menu.
Hop BroHimeji has a good one right now: Egret Brewery's 4th anniversary is happening on July 19 and 20.
MugiWait, Himeji's first brewery? That alone makes me curious. Is it that big of a deal?
Hop BroIt opened in July 2022, and the team has bartender and brewer experience, which really shows.
MugiOoh! But then which beer is the star this time? A new release? A limited one?
Hop BroThis time it's less about one label and more about a full craft beer lineup at the anniversary event itself.
Hop BroAnd the updated announcement says wine is being added too. Wide range, very bold.
MugiWhat is that! Wine at a beer festival is exactly the kind of problem I want to have!
Hop BroWith rotating food and revised snacks, they're clearly serious about food pairing this year.
MugiHold on, food pairing means what exactly? The katakana just tackled me out of nowhere!
Hop BroBasically, it's matching flavors well so both drink and food taste better. On July 19 it's eel rice, liver soup, and water eggplant kimchi.
MugiWhoa, and the July 20 menu looks wild too, right? Paella and Kobe beef roast beef already sound unfair.
Hop BroThen add fermented tomato gazpacho and escabeche with pike conger or sardine, and the daily food lineup gets seriously stacked.
MugiEven the Egret name, tied to Himeji Castle's White Heron nickname, gives it peak Himeji identity, and now I really want to go drink.
Hop BroYeah, you can feel four years of local character in it, and I want to toast there already.
