Hongo Kikuzakamachi Kamosu to Sell Three Limited Beers at Engineering Plaza G11 During the May Festival
The brewery Hongo Kikuzakamachi Kamosu, located in Hongo, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, will sell craft beer at the May Festival on May 16 and 17. It will offer Ichiyo 2 Golden, Kikuzaka Fry Day, and Akamon 1827, and is also scheduled to appear at the shop after 6:00 p.m. on the 16th.
Hop BroThis year at the May Festival, Hongo Kikuzakamachi Kamosu is releasing a limited beer. The venue is Engineering Plaza G11, in front of Engineering Building No. 6, so it’s an easy place to remember.
MugiWait, craft beer at a university festival!? And Engineering Plaza G11 sounds like a research presentation, which somehow makes it even more delicious!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. There are three different styles: Ichiyo 2 Golden is a lager, Kikuzaka Fry Day is an IPA, and Akamon 1827 is an Irish red ale.
MugiWhat!? Lager, IPA, and red ale are all beer, but they each have such different personalities? In my head, they’re already the Three Drinking Buddies!
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, lager is crisp and clean, IPA brings forward hop aroma and bitterness, and red ale lets you enjoy malt sweetness and toastiness. So it feels like the three directions of flavor.
MugiWow, that makes it easy to notice the differences if you taste them side by side. And the people in charge of sales are members of Hongo Brewing Craft Beer too, which feels incredibly reassuring!
Hop BroAnd it’s limited quantity, so sales end once they’re gone. Events like this are over before you know it, so if you’re interested, earlier is better.
MugiWait, wait, so it’s only on May 16 and 17? And on May 16 after 6:00 p.m. they’ll be at the shop too? That’s a trap designed to make us bar-hop!
Hop BroThat’s right. One drink at the venue, another at night in the Hongo taproom - you can already see the flow. The brewery’s name reflects its close connection to the streets of Hongo, which feels very fitting.
MugiI’m already completely ready to go! I want to toast with Ichiyo 2 Golden, go wild with the IPA, and then end with the red ale in a reflective mood. The happiness of a tasting comparison means I have to go!
