Hirosaki's brewery known as "Garreth's Beer" "Be Easy Brewing" (Matsugae Hirosaki, TEL 0172-78-1222) started craft beer web sales on May 13.

A former US Air Force soldier who belonged to Misawa Air Base, and is now a brewery launched by Gareth Barnes, who now lives in Aomori. A craft beer store "Garreth's Hideout (Tap Room)" is attached. We started brewing in 2016 and shipped about 200 types of craft beer in six brewing tanks to restaurants in 44 prefectures. Last year, he exhibited at an international trade fair for craft beer and won prizes in three categories.

According to Gareth, the new coronavirus has caused a gradual drop in sales this year, with zero orders in April. "An emergency declaration was issued, and there were no beer orders anywhere in the country. The tap room was open, but in a self-restraining mood, I tried lunch sales and takeout, but I could not recover." Speak to.

Currently, we are preparing for the second store in Aomori City, but the opening has stopped. Preparations for web sales started in April, and bottles and bottling machines were selected, and in parallel, a sales site was launched in a month. Gareth recalled, "It was possible because of the help from the staff as well as other prefectures."

The lineup of products is the standard beer "Debby's Pale Ale" (6 bottles = 3,480 yen), "Keyaku no MEZAME" using coconut, "Aomori Ale" distributed only to restaurants in Aomori (above , 6 = 3300 yen). In the tap room, it is possible to sell from 1 bottle (330 ml). It is planned to increase in the future.

Gareth said, "Web sales are a form of current nesting consumption, but we're looking forward to meeting you and having a good drink as soon as possible."

The sale is from the official website of "Be Easy Brewing". The tap room will be temporarily closed until June 30th, but store hours will be from 9:00 to 18:00. All tax excluded.
