What kind of brewery is 254BeeR?
Hop BroNext is 254BeeR in Hakuraku, pronounced “Nīgo Yonjū Beer.” What’s especially good about the name is this: owner Daisuke Matsumoto and brewmaster Yoshinori Gojo were both born in Showa 54 (1979).
MugiWow, a brewery founded by two people the same age! That feels kind of fateful.
Hop BroMatsumoto is a food-and-drink professional who originally ran a horse-meat restaurant called Heart in Noge. Gojo, on the other hand, is a seasoned brewer who served as brewmaster at Yokohama Beer and has 8.5 years of brewing experience. The two teaming up is what created 254BeeR.
MugiA tag team of a horse-meat pro and a beer pro! Does that mean you can eat horse meat at the shop too?
Hop BroExactly. At "254BeeR & Restaurant," the draw is pairings of fresh horse-meat dishes and freshly brewed beer. They also serve venison. It's only a one-minute walk from Hakuraku Station.
MugiBeing close to the station with horse meat and craft beer? That's unbeatable. What beers do they have?
Hop BroThe flagship is "Hakuraku IPA." It's a beer bursting with tropical aromas like orange and passion fruit, and it's the first one I'd recommend to newcomers. "Utatane" is a dry-hopped saison that evokes mandarin oranges and orange, and as the name suggests, it's softly soothing.
Mugi"Utatane" is such a cute name! It sounds like it would make you doze off for real.
Hop BroThey also have "S54," a saison named after Showa 54; "Black Sheep," a Belgian stout; "Sheep & Sheep," a hazy IPA; and "Brick Tone," a Belgian amber, all on 8 taps across a wide range of styles. The spread from trend-driven to traditional is really impressive.
MugiThat lineup makes me want to try all 8 taps. With Gojo's Yokohama Beer brewing expertise and Matsumoto's horse-meat dishes... now I have a reason to go to Hakuraku!
