What kind of brewery is Craft Beer Restaurant Le Mani?
Hop BroDo you know the local beer restaurant "Le Mani" in Bizen City? As a beer lover, this place is really interesting.
MugiLe Mani? Is it an Italian restaurant that serves beer?
Hop Bro"Le Mani" means "handmade" in Italian. And the operator is Mitsuishi Refractory Brick, a firebrick manufacturer founded in 1892.
MugiWhat! A brick company makes beer?
Hop BroA company that has been making bricks for more than 130 years serves local beer in a restaurant built with its own bricks. The building looks like a medieval castle, and it sits in a European-style space called "Renga Square" spanning 10,000 tsubo.
Mugi10,000 tsubo!? Drinking beer in a brick castle-like building sounds amazing!
Hop BroThe beer is sold under the "Peace Bizen" brand, with two varieties: White Ale and Old Ale. The White Ale is 5% alcohol and has a refreshing profile with a subtle hop bitterness and crisp finish. The Old Ale is 8% and offers a rich body with fruity sweetness.
MugiOh, so they keep it to just two types. That probably means they really focus on each one.
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that they use "olive yeast" collected from olive trees on Hitoshima in Bizen City. They found a yeast perfectly suited for beer from local olives.
MugiOlive yeast!? I've never heard of that before!
Hop BroYou can enjoy it with pizza baked in a brick kiln or handmade fresh pasta, and terrace seats allow pets. They also have an outdoor stage, so it seems they host music events too.
MugiA brick castle, beer made with olive yeast, and pizza!? I definitely want to go with my friends!
