MugiWait, an alcohol event at the port!? From 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on April 18 means you can enjoy it almost all day!
Hop BroAnd the venue is Portside Park in front of the JR Sasebo Station Minato Exit, with about 25 vendors expected to line up. It will bring together Kyushu craft beers, plus sake, wine, shochu, and gin from Nagasaki, so the selection is really broad.
MugiWhat, that sounds like a tasting paradise! If it's not just beer, it'd be easy to go with friends.
Hop BroWhat's important here is that it's a recurring event held to coincide with cruise ship port calls. This time the MSC Bellissima is coming, so the buzz of a port city gets turned up another notch.
MugiMSC Bellissima already sounds powerful...! Does coinciding with a port call really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroExactly. Timing it with the ship's arrival makes it easier for both tourists and locals to gather, so it makes sense that this will be the fourth edition. The real star of the event is the sense of unity between the port and the town.
MugiWow, it's not just a vending event! The unity between the port and the town has such a nice ring to it.
Hop BroBMB Brewery itself is interesting too. It started brewing in Jingu, Miyazaki City, in 2018, and completed a new brewery in Kiyotake Town in July 2024. I like that it is pushing the idea of "From beer to culture".
MugiOh, so it's a brewery that's really growing! From Miyazaki to the world is a little too cool.
Hop BroThis article doesn't name any specific beers, but that's exactly why it's fun to walk around and drink craft beers from Kyushu at the venue. Aromatic IPAs and crisp lagers would both suit the harbor breeze perfectly.
MugiWhoa, now I'm done for! I can't stop wanting to raise a glass at the port, and it's definitely going to taste great that day!
