MugiWait, beer at a night cherry blossom viewing!? And a brewpub from Asamushi is coming too? Isn't that a little too luxurious?
Hop BroAnd the regular lineup is solid too. The flagship pale ale "Hotarubi," the easy-drinking "Zanko," and the IPA "Senrin" will be the three core beers. It's smart how the entry point is clearly divided, from beginners to hop fans.
MugiPale ale, IPA, there it is again! What is this, some kind of beer meeting? There are too many foreign words!
Hop BroIn simple terms, a pale ale is all about balancing aroma and bitterness, and "Hotarubi" has a clean classic balance of grapefruit, lime, and melon. It's easy to drink, but still clearly craft beer, which is the nice part.
MugiOhhh! "Zanko" sounds beautiful too, and with white-wine-like aromas and passion fruit notes, it feels like a light, refreshing drink. I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. "Zanko" is crisp in the golden ale style and easy to pair with food. The brewery's mindset is also about staying close to Asamushi's local food and character, so it fits the event perfectly.
MugiThen what about "Senrin"? Just the name sounds strong, like it's got the full force of hops behind it!
Hop BroThat's right. A West Coast IPA is a style where sharp bitterness and citrus aromas come forward, and the appeal of "Senrin" is its dry finish. It doesn't hide behind sweetness; it snaps cleanly, which feels great.
MugiWatching the night cherry blossoms and comparing three beers with different aromas sounds amazing... This isn't just one drink with the cherry blossoms, it's the kind of night that makes you want three drinks with them!
Hop BroExactly. If you want to get to know Hotarubi Brewing's character, start with these well-balanced three beers. If you can drink them at the Night Cherry Blossom Festival, they're guaranteed to taste great.
MugiJust imagining it is making my throat dry already! Clear your schedule for April 18 and head to the Night Cherry Blossom Festival with the feeling that you want to drink right now!

What Makes the Brewery Stand Out
Hotarubi Brewing is a brewpub in Asamushi, Aomori City's hot-spring district, and it emphasizes making beer that pairs well with the local cuisine. The brewery also focuses on beer that complements the area's climate and food, so it seems like a great match for a stop during a sightseeing trip.
