MugiWait, a festival at the brewery!? Just holding it in the garden plaza already sounds amazing!
Hop BroAnd there's a tapping ceremony at 12:00. The moment the anniversary beer is opened is intense, because everyone gets to share the brewery's milestone together.
MugiA tapping ceremony? What is that, some kind of ritual for the first pour? That sounds super important, but also kind of niche!
Hop BroExactly. Basically, it's the signal to welcome the star of the day together. Fujizakura Kogen Beer uses German-style brewing techniques and the soft water from the foot of Mount Fuji, which gives its beer fine foam and a deep, layered flavor.
MugiOhh! So it's not just pretty to look at, but pretty to taste too. Fine foam is the kind of thing beer lovers swoon over!
Hop BroThat's right. And since you can join for 3,000 yen with all-you-can-drink included, it's a really nice setup for an anniversary festival. Food is pay-as-you-go, but it's easy to enjoy.
MugiWait, you get all that fun for that price!? Brewery tours and a prize drawing too? This is basically a beer theme park!
Hop BroAnd there's even a beer-tasting contest. It's an event where you look for differences in taste and aroma, so you're using your head while you drink. Or maybe not using it so much as happily getting lost in the fun.
MugiGetting lost sounds fun! And if there's a shuttle from Kawaguchiko Station, it's easy to get there, and if the campsite is available, I'd want to stay overnight and really take my time drinking.
Hop BroExactly. Cheers at a forest brewery already sounds unbeatable, doesn't it? Whether you're a Fujizakura Kogen Beer fan or a first-timer, it's the kind of day that makes you want to have a pint on site.
MugiYeah, I want to go! If I drink the anniversary beer on site, it will definitely taste even better than usual, and it'll make us want to raise a toast too!
