Hop BroIwami Beer set up a booth at the Yamaguchi Craft Beer Collection at Inoue Park in Yuda Onsen. It was held on May 16 and 17, so it really had a strong event vibe.
MugiWhoa! A beer event near the hot springs sounds amazing! And if Iwami Beer is there, that's enough to make me want to go!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is good too. It's a small-batch, wide-variety setup, with their regular beers there as well, so tasting side by side is part of the fun.
MugiWhat does small-batch, wide-variety mean exactly? Wait, does that mean lots of different beers in small amounts? Something made for tasting comparisons?
Hop BroExactly. For example, the venue had the fruit-forward Cider 082, the cleanly aromatic Saison 778, and the well-balanced American Pale Ale 520.
MugiWhat is that! The names are full of numbers and look cool, and suddenly they feel like secret weapons! Numbered labels are kind of exciting!
Hop BroThose numbers aren't just playful; they also make the beers easy to tell apart. In particular, the 960-series stout should really hit the spot for people who want a subdued bitterness and roasted character.
MugiRoasted character, like coffee? Having that in beer is kind of surprising! A subdued bitterness sounds like a grown-up flavor!
Hop BroExactly. Iwami Beer is a brewpub in Gotsu, Shimane Prefecture, and it's also known from listings as the Onsen Resort Kaze no Kuni Brewery. Its presentation is straightforward, and it's good that the style comes across clearly.
MugiIt doesn't feel flashy, but it still looks genuinely good... that feels trustworthy! Being able to see the style clearly is friendly for beginners too.
Hop BroOnce you've had it in Yuda Onsen, you end up wanting to visit the brewpub in Gotsu next. That's the appeal of Iwami Beer: it makes you want to check out even the character of the local ingredients.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I fully want a drink now! Tasting them at Inoue Park and then heading to the home brewery afterward is the best possible flow!

The booth featured a lineup typical of Iwami Beer’s small-batch, wide-variety approach, and the post conveyed the fun of comparing different beers at an event.
Labels spotted at the venue
The menu shown in the post images included the fruit-forward Cider 082, the saison Saison 778, the standard American Pale Ale 520, and a stout-style label in the darker 960 series. For people who want light acidity and aroma, the cider and saison are easy choices; for those looking for a well-balanced pale ale, 520 is a good pick; and for those after a calm bitterness and roasted character, the 960 series stands out.
