MugiWow! I'm so happy we can drink at the event! And the fact that the brewers serve it themselves makes it feel extra special.
Hop BroExactly. What I like is that at the venue, the drinks made in Tsukuba are served directly by the brewers. And I kind of love the way they guide people to the spot by saying it's "down the stone steps."
MugiWhat! It's that easy to spot? But I get lost right away, so a stone-step landmark might really help...
Hop BroAnd the highlight this time is definitely the Fukure Mikan Ale. It's popular every year, and the fact that it's being released again at Tsukuba Fes is exciting.
MugiOhh! Even the name Fukure Mikan sounds delicious. It feels like such a very Ibaraki ingredient!
Hop BroFukure mikan is an ingredient from Ibaraki, and Tsukuba Brewery's strength is using natural water from the foot of Mt. Tsukuba and local ingredients. In other words, it feels like the beer carries not just aroma, but the atmosphere of the place itself.
MugiWait, beer can carry the atmosphere of a place!? Is that what people mean by terroir? I just said something kind of sommelier-like!
Hop BroI like that energy. And since the event runs for two days, taking heat precautions and enjoying it at a relaxed pace is another plus.
MugiIf I can enjoy food too, then it's basically perfect. Pairing it with popular Tsukuba food has to be amazing!
Hop BroIf you like it at the event, you'll want to visit the shop next. A weekend draft beer with the view of the foot of Mount Tsukuba sounds so good my throat is already responding.
MugiI can't wait anymore! First the Fukure Mikan Ale at the festival, then a leisurely visit to the shop after that!

The Highlight This Time Is Fukure Mikan Ale

Official information from Tsukuba City also introduces it as a brewery making beer with ingredients such as Ibaraki-grown malt and Fukure mikan, set in nature with a view of Mount Tsukuba.
Momentum for the Weekend

The event runs over two days, from 10:00 to 20:00 on the first day and from 10:00 to 18:00 on the second. It is the kind of event where you can take your time enjoying Tsukuba craft beer and food while keeping heat precautions in mind.
Tsukuba Brewery’s shop operates against the natural backdrop of the foot of Mount Tsukuba, and it also offers draft beer tasting sales on weekends only. If the event piques your interest, it might be worth heading there the following weekend.
