What kind of brewery is Cowboy Craft Lasso Brewing?
Hop BroHave you heard of Cowboy Craft Lasso Brewing? It's a brewery in Odawara, and it actually has ties to Silicon Valley.
MugiWait, Silicon Valley!? Beer, not an IT company?
Hop BroExactly. The representative, Mr. Makabe, lives in Silicon Valley and is deeply immersed in American craft beer culture. In 2016, he founded the company with the philosophy that "beer is humanity's fuel."
MugiWhat does that even mean! Fuel? (laughs) But why Odawara?
Hop BroThey are based in Odawara, and while they import and sell brewing equipment, they also brew their own beer. They even handle OEM contract brewing, with test batches starting from just 30 liters. So they also support other breweries behind the scenes.
MugiI see. So they're not just making beer, they're also supporting the people who make it.
Hop BroExactly. And they have a directly operated taproom called "Rodeo Dog Beer Stand," about a four-minute walk from the east exit of Odawara Station, where you can drink American-style craft beer.
MugiRodeo Dog! The name already sounds American.
Hop BroThey also have a canning line that handles everything from 350 ml cans down to small 180 ml cans. They even offer brewing experiences, where you can actually make beer while watching the brewing process with a professional brewer.
MugiA brewing experience! I definitely want to try that! It's great that you can stop by while sightseeing in Odawara too.
