Hop BroOn May 3 and 4, Makinohara Ale will set up at Sunpu Castle Park for the theater festival. It is nice to be able to find a local brewery's beer right in the middle of Shizuoka City.
MugiWhat! So there is not just theater in the park, but a market too? That means I could swing by before or after a show, which sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. The location is near East Otemon Square, in the PLAY!PLAY!PLAY! Garden market area. The park's open feel plus the energy of the event, with beer on top, is a strong combination.
MugiOhhh! And Makinohara Ale is back again this year, right? It feels like the regulars were waiting for them, which is kind of comforting!
Hop BroAt the venue, Ikedaya Craft Beer is also planned, and apparently there will be Emo's Hot Dog & Original Beer too. Hot dogs and beer are not really about logic anymore; it is just about how well they go together.
MugiWhat is that! Is an original beer like it is made for hot dogs? If you tell me that, I have no choice but to order them as a set!
Hop BroThat kind of idea is what makes it fun. The article does not go into the individual beer names in detail, but you can see the design: craft beer at the center, with food meant to be enjoyed alongside it.
MugiI get it, so it is basically drink, eat, and watch! Even though it is a theater festival, they are making the stomach the star too!
Hop BroThe hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day, so you can stop by at lunchtime or in the evening. Sunpu Castle Park is also easy to reach from Shizuoka Station, so it works well as a place to drop in during a stroll.
MugiNice! If Makinohara's brewpub is coming into the city, it makes me want to cheer on the local brewery's beer!
Hop BroThis really feels like the kind of flow where you want a drink with the afterglow of the theater. Two days where you can toast in the park - Mugi, now you want to go too, right?
MugiYeah, absolutely! A beer in one hand with a hot dog sounds way too happy just imagining it!
