MugiWhat! A craft beer event in Hibiya Park? And July 18 to 20 means my whole weekend is under attack!
Hop BroExactly. It is at Nirenoki Plaza, tied to the 250th anniversary of the U.S., and Octagon even brewed two special beers just for this event.
MugiNo way, two exclusives? That is dangerous. But wait, are the beer names and styles still undisclosed?
Hop BroLooks like they are keeping that part for the day itself. Still, brewing them specifically for the festival suggests festival-ready character with a clear point of view.
MugiHold on, I need a timeout. You casually said what is a brewpub like I was supposed to know that already!
Hop BroFair question. A brewpub is a place with its own brewery attached, so it can serve fresh draft beer right where it is made. That is one of Octagon's signatures.
MugiOhhh, so fresh beer is their home-field move, and now they are taking it to Tokyo. And some labels may be very limited pours? Suddenly this feels like a mission.
Hop BroYep, and the event is not just beer. There will be bourbon, cocktails, American wines, and meat-heavy food, so you get American food pairings with those special brews.
MugiMy stomach and my glass both said yes. If the weather stays mild, we are basically obligated to do a limited beer tasting in Hibiya.
