Hop BroOn Saturday, April 25, Sumikawa Beer Brewery will be exhibiting at the Benizakura Distillery 8th Anniversary Festival. For craft beer fans in Sapporo, it's going to be a seriously hot day.
MugiReally? Is an anniversary festival that big of a deal? And they're serving beer too? That alone is reason enough to go!
Hop BroThe venue will also have SUSUKINO BREWING, NORTH ISLAND BEER, and Lake Toya Beer, so with Sumikawa Beer there too, it's basically a full Hokkaido lineup.
MugiWow! If they have core and seasonal beers, it'd be fun to compare the differences in flavor! Being able to hop around multiple styles in one place is exactly the kind of thing I love.
Hop BroAnd Sumikawa Beer plans to offer four taps, plus a tasting set. It's set up so you can enjoy each one individually or compare them side by side.
MugiWhat is that! Taps are the things like faucets at a bar, right? Why are you talking like such a pro all of a sudden?
Hop BroThat's right. Basically, it's the number of pours from the kegs, and this time they have a tasting set, so it's easy to experience the differences in flavor all at once.
MugiI see! And there's a shuttle from Makomanai Station to the venue, so getting there should be easy. Being able to walk from Jieitai-mae Station is pretty nice too!
Hop BroThe event runs from 11:00 to 16:00, admission is 500 yen, and it's free for anyone under 20. And since it's an outdoor event, dressing a little warmly is the way to go.
MugiIt really does sound like a glass of happiness...! It's so nice to see small breweries from Sapporo gathering like this.
Hop BroSumikawa Beer is known for beers that use plenty of malt and for brews that make good use of adjunct ingredients, so it should be fun to enjoy its wide range of character. This is definitely the kind of event that makes both me and Mugi want to go for a drink.
MugiYeah, yeah! I want to do a Hokkaido craft beer tour and then have a lively tasting session at the end! Today is all about beer now!
Event Booth Information
Sumikawa Beer Brewery announced on Instagram that it will have a booth at the anniversary festival being held at Benizakura Distillery on Saturday, April 25, from 11:00 to 16:00. Admission is 500 yen, and free for those under 20. The venue can be reached by shuttle bus from Subway Makomanai Station, and it is also within walking distance from Jieitai-mae Station.
On the day, Sumikawa Beer plans to offer four taps of its core beers and seasonal beers. In addition, a tasting set will be available, making it easy not only to enjoy each glass on its own, but also to compare several styles at once. In the post, the brewery also encouraged visitors to dress a little warmly, since it is an outdoor event.
The craft beer booths at the venue will include SUSUKINO BREWING, NORTH ISLAND BEER, Lake Toya Beer, and Sumikawa Beer. Based in Sapporo's Toyohira Ward, Sumikawa Beer Brewery aims to deliver a "glass of happiness" from a small Sapporo brewery to people across Japan, and continues to brew beers that make full use of malt as well as beers that highlight adjunct ingredients.
The company's official website features six core beers and limited brews, and this booth appearance is likely to showcase that same breadth. It is an event worth watching as a chance to celebrate Benizakura Distillery's anniversary while enjoying craft beer from across Hokkaido.
