Hop BroA Falo Brewing tap takeover is coming to esperanza エスペランサ in Yakuin, Fukuoka, from April 4 to 5. That is exciting.
MugiWait, you mean two days full of Falo!? Like the whole tap lineup is getting swapped out? That sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. It is an event where you can taste the brewery from Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture all at once on April 4 and 5, from 15:00 to 24:00.
MugiHuh? But what is Smoked Helles? It is a Helles, but smoky!? Does it taste like smoke?
Hop BroGood question. It is a lager-leaning beer with the aroma of smoked malt, giving you a toasty character alongside its light body.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes me want snacks! And CHONK at 8.5%? The name alone packs a punch!
Hop BroThat one really has the presence of a Double IPA centerpiece, with hop aroma and bitterness hitting hard.
MugiStop, now I am curious! And they even have HBD with strawberry notes? Is a sweet-and-tart sour beer even allowed?
Hop BroAnd on April 4, Mr. Handanar is scheduled to visit, so you might even get to hear stories about Ushitora Brewery and CRAFTROCK BREWING.
MugiIf I can compare all eight beers in Yakuin, then I have no choice but to clear my schedule. I want to start with HANE, the German Pils!
Hop BroNice. If you make it all the way to HANE as the closing beer, that would be the best. I am already wanting to sit at the counter and drink all eight in order right now.
