"Beer Brewing" (Hirosaki City Matsugae, TEL 0172-78-1222) making craft beer in Hirosaki was held from October 3 to 5 "International Beer Cup 2019" So, I won the prize in three categories.

The tournament, which started in 1996, is known as the world's third longest history of craft beer competition. This is the 24th time, and beer experts from Japan and overseas gathered to evaluate 1000 brands of beer in 25 countries. The scoring standard is absolute, not relative, and some categories do not receive awards.

"Be Easy Brewing" is a brewery started by former US Air Force Gareth Barnes with a craft beer specialty store "Garreth Hidet". Brewing started in 2016, and now we are shipping craft beer to 44 prefectures. This year, we launched a brand beer "Aomori Ale" limited to Aomori prefecture.

Gareth exhibited four brands in this tournament, "Aomori Ale" in the American-Style Wheat Beer without Yeast category, Bronze Wine-Style Ale category "Nepute" in the Bronze Award, American-Style Strong Pale Ale category "Debby's Pale Ale" was selected for the bronze prize.

Gareth says, "I feel great value that "Aomori Ale" won the international award. There was a prize at "JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2019" held in January of this year, and I would like to aim further next year." Show motivation.

"Aomori Ale" is sold at about 20 restaurants in the prefecture. "Nepute" (150 ml = 535 yen) and "Debby's Pale Ale" (290 ml = 575 yen) will be sold at "Garreth's Hideout".
