Persona brewery unveils the first four taps for its 10-day event in Kofu
Persona brewery, a brewpub in Kofu, Yamanashi, has started introducing the lineup for its upcoming event. The first four taps include Baby Weizen, Ninohori Amber, Little Fox, and Hanakanmuri, ranging from a classic amber to a sake-kasu IPA.
Hop BroPersona brewery in Kofu just dropped a 24 beers over 10 days event plan, and it is dangerously tempting.
MugiWait, 24 rotating beers? That's not an event, that's a side quest!
Hop BroAnd the first four taps are already loaded: Baby Weizen, Ninohori Amber, Little Fox, and Hanakanmuri. It's basically a first four taps reveal with no weak link.
MugiThose names are cute already! But what exactly is a session IPA?
Hop BroIt keeps the alcohol lower while holding onto hop aroma, so Little Fox drinks light but still hoppy instead of hitting like a heavyweight.
MugiOoh, so I could start with that. But a sake lees IPA sounds illegal in three countries.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Hanakanmuri came from a connection with Taikan Shuzo in Minami-Alps, and it layers ginjo-like aroma with gentle umami into a Japanese ingredient collab.
MugiGinjo aroma sounds like exam vocabulary! But if it means soft elegant fragrance, I'm listening.
Hop BroExactly. And Ninohori Amber, named after Kofu Castle's moat, balances toasty malt with American hops, while Baby Weizen brings foamy personality and changes a little batch to batch.
MugiSo it's got staples, experiments, and local ties all on one lineup? That's a dangerously good spread.
Hop BroThen they tease taps five through eight, plus Kurokanmuri and this year's acai beer, and suddenly I want to camp at the festival for the next tap previews alone.
MugiSame. Start me with Baby Weizen and save a Hanakanmuri for later, because now we seriously need a first pint plan.
Persona brewery, a brewpub in Asahi, Kofu, Yamanashi, has begun previewing its event lineup on Instagram. In the post, the brewery says it will rotate 24 offerings over 10 days, and has now introduced the first four taps from the opening weekend block.
The four beers are Baby Weizen, a Weizen; Ninohori Amber, an American Amber; Little Fox, a session IPA; and Hanakanmuri, a sake-kasu IPA. The range is broad, moving from an easy-drinking wheat beer to a malt-forward amber, a hop-driven session IPA, and a collaboration-style beer built around Japanese sake lees.
- Baby Weizen: A Weizen with a soft, foamy character and a personality that can shift slightly with each brew.
- Ninohori Amber: A house standard named after the Ninohori moat on the south side of Kofu Castle. It balances toasted malt depth and American hop aroma.
- Little Fox: A lighter session IPA with bright hop aroma and a restrained ABV, designed to be easy to reach for another glass.
- Hanakanmuri: A sake-kasu IPA created through a connection with Taikan Shuzo in Minami-Alps City. Its third-year form brings together gentle umami, ginjo-like aroma, and IPA-style hop character.
The post also hints at the next set of beers, saying that taps 5 through 8 will follow, including the partner beer Kurokanmuri and another talked-about acai beer. It is a straightforward lineup announcement, but it shows how Persona brewery mixes core house beers with locally rooted collaborations. The post closes with, “See you at the beer fest,” making the event focus clear.
