Shiga Prefecture | SHIZUOKA GOURMET

AOI BEER STAND owned by Aoi Brewery in Miyuki Cho, Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, has the merit to offer on tap other craft beers from Shizuoka Prefecture and the rest of Japan, but you do have to hurry as they usually served only one keg before switching to another brew!

“Nigai/acid Lager” by Shiga Kougen Brewery in Shig aPrefecture.
It is also called “a special saison”! I asked about the mixture of English and French, but apart of naming I couldn’t any satisfying explanation! LOL
