What kind of brewery is Arimoto Beer?
Hop BroArimoto Beer is beer brewed by the members of the rock band The Richard.
MugiWhat! Beer made by band members!? What is that!
Hop BroIn 2017, three bandmates, including representative Akihisa Arimoto, founded the company. Mr. Arimoto handles sales, while the other two handle brewing as brewers.
MugiBut can band members just start making beer out of nowhere?
Hop BroThat is where the good story begins. After a live show in Gotsu, Shimane Prefecture in 2016, they happened to discover local craft beer there. They caught fire with the idea that "this culture still hasn't taken root in Osaka," trained at that brewery, and obtained their license in 2018.
MugiTraining to brew beer because of a live tour stop? That's incredibly rock 'n' roll!
Hop BroThe labels are fully infused with the band's world: "Richard Pilsner" has a deep sweetness and a clear finish. "Kateryna Brew" is elegant, with malt flavor and a pleasant bitterness. "Crystal ALE" is a richly layered IPA made with plenty of crystal malt. "OHDIN STOUT" is an aromatic dark beer with caramel-roasted malt. All are 5.0% ABV.
MugiHow cute that the band name is used as the product name!
Hop BroWhat's more, at recent events they also offered adventurous special versions like kiwi happoshu and sansho pepper happoshu. They were exhibiting at the Osaka Unique Goods Expo in Namba Square.
MugiBeer with sansho pepper!? That makes me really curious...!
Hop BroIt's a microbrewery in Ikuno Ward, Osaka, producing small batches by hand while stirring and controlling temperature manually. They champion "rock 'n' roll craft beer," and it feels like they pour the band's passion directly into the brewing.
MugiDrinking this beer after a live show would be amazing!
