Japanese Microbrew Tour - Iwate Prefecture / 日本地ビールツアー ‐ 岩手県

Recently I was reading a book titled "Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey" in which the author traveled the U.S. stopping at various microbreweries and brewpubs and indulging in lots of craft beers. Which gave me a craving for a taste of a Japanese craft beer. As the sake shop nearest my apartment moved, the next closest one was by the bus stop. I stopped in to buy a bottle but was disappointed that they stocked only one microbrew. It was a weisen style beer from Iwate called "Ginga Kogen Beer". Quite delicious.

この間読んでた本が地ビールの話だったので、日本の地ビールが飲みたくなった。仕事帰りで酒屋に入ってみたら、入った店が一種類の地ビールしかなくて、それに飲んだ事があるけど、でも地ビールモードに入ってたので買っちゃいました。岩手県の銀河高原ビールでした。ヴァイッゼンとゆう種類なので、結構自分好みです。
