I wanted to go back today but woke up too late and got Sat and Mondays opening times mixed up. At 3pm, I figured I still had 2 hours or so drinking time left then realised the thing closed at 4 on Monday. Doh!!!
Should've woken up earlier.
Gonna look for a list of winners and post it online.
Don't remember much as I was a bit tipsy.
Met soooooooo many poeple, olod fends and new ones.
Here's a pic from the start.

I do remember Yokohama got gold for their weizen, Nihonkai Ishikawa silver for their pilsner.
I also managed to pick up silver medal for the most annoying person in the festival!
Someone else must have got silver for something because I'm wearing their medal!
I just don't remember who...too smashed.
After the festival, a few people headed to the Nakameguro Taproom to meet up with the New Zealand brewers from Tuatara brewing. Had a great evening drinking, tasting and chatting with them (tasting their beers, not THEM).
This is one of the brews I remembered as being very good:


A good crowd turned up to taste and give feedback on the New Zealand beers.
The first time for them to come over here.
Look out for these beers in the near future!
Yo, Chuwy!
ReplyDeleteI started a blog recently. It has half the look and even less the energy of your blog.
