MugiWait, it's being held in front of Gifu City Tower 43!? An event in the city center is nice because you can just drop by!
Hop BroThe venue is the outdoor space at Square 43, and it's set up with not just beer but also wine and food. It looks like there will also be snacks recommended by the restaurants in Gifu City Tower 43.
MugiWhat! They even have food that goes with beer? That's the kind of event where you just want to stay there forever!
Hop BroThis brewery only started in July 2024, but the location is also something special. It's brewing in a building that once made Japanese swords, and right next door there's still a workshop run by a knife craftsman.
MugiOhh! So that means the beer has a craftsman's spirit in it too?
Hop BroExactly. The brand's core is "beer x kitchen knives," and what's interesting is how it layers the feel of a maker's town directly into the beer.
MugiWait, how are knives and beer connected!? The sharpness of that concept is way too strong!
Hop BroThe lineup is good too. For example, names like "SMOKE FORGED LAGER," "GRAIN CUTTER - Rye IPA," and "SABER - ESB" have a real gear-like feel.
MugiWhat's the difference between rye IPA and ESB? I feel like I've already stepped into the style rabbit hole!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, lagers are crisp, IPAs put aroma and bitterness front and center, and ESBs have a mellow malt richness. Rye IPA adds a spicy note from rye, so it should pair well with the event food too.
MugiI see! So now I have to go drink some of that Seki City-born individuality.
Hop BroYeah, getting to taste the atmosphere of Seki City in central Gifu City is rare. On April 26, I'd like to get there a little early and enjoy the first drink properly.
MugiIt's settled! I'll handle the food, and Hop bro will handle the beer. An event where you can toast from lunchtime is the best!
