Forest Brewing to Make Its Third Appearance at Tokyo's Oedo Beer Festival
Forest Brewing, based in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture, announced on Instagram that it will be heading to Tokyo. In the post, the brewery revealed that this will be its third time taking part, and also mentioned serving from a kitchen truck and bringing in limited-edition beers.
Hop BroForest Brewing is back at Tokyo's Oedo Beer Festival. And this is already their third time, so they must be getting pretty comfortable with the venue by now.
MugiWhoa, their third appearance already? That really does sound like they’ve become one of the regular breweries there.
Hop BroAnd this time they’re not only livening up the venue with a kitchen truck, but also bringing in a lot of limited-edition beer, so it really has that event vibe.
MugiSeriously? Is drinking it there really that different from drinking it in cans? You mean the freshness is different?
Hop BroExactly. Here, freshness means the just-made aroma comes through more clearly. Because the beer spends less time in transport and storage, the hop aroma and texture tend to come across more naturally.
MugiI see! But even when you say hops, I still don’t quite get it. Is the hop aroma really that noticeable?
Hop BroIt is. For example, it can give off citrusy, grassy, or floral notes. Another interesting thing about Forest Brewing is that it uses snowmelt water from Mount Zao in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture.
MugiWait, it said they make craft beer brewed with firewood. Is it really firewood?! That’s so romantic!
Hop BroIt is. They started out as a firewood production business, so that whole world seems to carry over into the beer itself. That’s why a nature-inspired story shows up not only in the taste, but in the names too.
MugiTotally. Just hearing names like Woodcutter's Pilsner or Starry Sky Weizen makes me want to drink them!
Hop BroAnd since they go from lager to hazy styles to weizen, the range of styles is fun too. If you casually talk to the staff at the venue and try a tasting flight, it’s definitely going to be a good time.
MugiAll right, I want to raise a glass in Nakano! Hearing all this makes me want to head to the venue, grab a limited-edition beer, and drink alongside you, Hop!
Forest Brewing announced on Instagram on May 17 that it would be heading to Tokyo. In the post, the brewery said this will be its third time participating, and that it plans to liven up the venue with the same kitchen truck as before. It also said it has heard that this year it will bring many limited-edition beers to the event, and encouraged visitors to enjoy the freshness that can only be experienced on site, different from canned beer.
The hashtags `#OedoBeerFestival` and `#NakanoShikiNoMoriPark` suggest that this is an event appearance in Nakano, Tokyo. A line that asks people to feel free to talk to the staff, in keeping with a brewery that values meeting people at the venue, conveys a desire for visitors to enjoy the interactions across the booth as part of the experience.
Forest Brewing is a brewery with its own facility in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture. On its official website, it describes itself as making "craft beer brewed with firewood" in an environment fed by snowmelt water from the Zao mountain range, and says it began as a firewood production business. In its brewing, it makes use of water from northern Zao and carefully selected ingredients, and its lineup spans a wide range of styles, from lager to hazy ales and weizens.
Its representative beers include the German pilsner "Woodcutter's Pilsner," the IPA "Sunset IPA," and the weizen "Starry Sky Weizen." The brewery's names, which evoke nature and the seasons, are especially memorable, and this Tokyo appearance seems likely to offer a chance to experience that world firsthand as well.
