The brewpub Mame Mame Beer in Sakate, Shodoshima Town, Kagawa Prefecture is currently offering drinks and food at its indoor counter, and there is no outdoor terrace seating. It also says the brewery shop will be closed from May 19 to June 12. This is a place where you can enjoy its regular 5 TAP lineup and seasonal small-batch beers.
Hop BroSo at Mame Mame Beer in Sakate, Shodoshima, you can drink at the indoor counter now, right? I like that you can relax and have a pint on a hill above the port town.
MugiWait, there’s no outdoor terrace seating? I had imagined drinking in the island sea breeze, so that’s a bit surprising!
Hop BroAnd the notice says the brewery shop will be closed from May 19 to June 12, so checking the business days before going is a must.
MugiI see. If I’m aiming for a visit before the closure, I’m curious about the regular 5 TAP lineup. What kind of beers are there?
Hop BroFirst up is WEST COAST IPA, with hop aroma and bitterness that really stand out. When you hear 'dank aroma,' it sounds intense, but basically it means a strong, crisp IPA.
MugiOhh! Then NEW ENGLAND IPA is probably that juicy, soft kind, right? Just hearing 'citrus' makes me want to drink it right away!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also an American-style Red Ale made with Shodoshima citrus, and a herb-spice beer with lemongrass and coriander seed. When they say Belgian White style, it’s basically a white beer with spice character.
MugiWhoa, that’s a lot of information! And a stout made with Tsurujo moromi from shoyu? That sounds like beer with a distinctly Japanese meal vibe!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. They also have Sake Yeast Ale with an aroma like sake, and they brew around 10 seasonal limited beers a year, so there’s something new to discover every time you go.
MugiAnd if there’s a restaurant too, that’s unbeatable! Drinking with Shodoshima ingredients sounds like it would hit just right.
Hop BroOnce it reopens, I want to have a fresh pour at the brewery. It feels like you get to taste the island’s atmosphere itself, so this is definitely a place worth going for a drink.
MugiYeah! After the closure, let’s go to Shodoshima and chase that fresh-brewed deliciousness together!
