Hop BroBeer Cafe Barley in Nishinomiya is kicking off its 22nd Oktoberfest on October 9. It has been a tradition since the pub opened—pretty amazing!
MugiWhoa, the 22nd event already?! That is serious beer-festival experience! How long does it run?
Hop BroIt runs from October 9 through 18, with October 13 closed. Expect a varied lineup of festival beers on draft and in bottles.
MugiDraft and bottles! With German beer at the center, I suddenly want to shout, “Prost!”
Hop BroOn draft, there are three from Plank plus Schneider’s TAP-4 Festweisse. That is a lovely German-style opening lineup.
MugiThose names sound powerful! But wait—what is the difference between Helles and Weissbier?
Hop BroHelles is a pale lager with gentle malt sweetness and a clean finish. Weissbier uses wheat malt and often has banana-like aromas. No serious face required!
MugiOhhh, one is crisp and the other is fluffy-and-fragrant. I want to become an aroma detective through a tasting flight!
Hop BroJapanese breweries are joining in too: Minami Shinshu Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, and Kyoto Brewing. Best of all, the taps rotate over time.
MugiThey rotate?! Then “I’ll go tomorrow” is risky! There is even a prize for completing all beers—that sounds like a challenge!
Hop BroThe food plan includes Bamberger onion, Eisbein, and Flammkuchen. Eisbein is a pork knuckle dish, and its salty richness matches beer beautifully.
MugiBeer, German food, and ten cozy days of toasting thoughtfully—perfect. I want to say “Prost” at Beer Cafe Barley right now!
