In the midst of the blazing heat of the game, beer is the best way to watch the sporting event. So, here is an announcement that should be of interest to both soccer fans and beer freaks.
FC Tokyo, a professional soccer team with Tokyo as its hometown, has teamed up with Far East Brewing, a brewery with a directly operated store in Shinagawa, to release a craft beer that can be consumed at the stadium.
The name is FC TOKYO GOLEDEN ALE, and sales will begin at the Kyoto Sanga F.C. game to be held at Ajinomoto Stadium on Friday, May 3.
FC TOKYO GOLEDEN ALE ¥1,000
The beer to be released this time is based on Far Yeast Tokyo Blonde, one of Far East Brewing's standard products. By adding a new variety of hops, a beer with a distinctive citrus-like flavor and tropical aroma has been created.
The slogan of FC Tokyo is "+1 BEER" instead of "+1 GOAL". The beer has a light, refreshing taste that will make you want to have another glass.
The shape of the label on the cup is made into an oval, reminiscent of a stadium, and the name of the beer is placed above the stripes, as is the FC Tokyo emblem.
The match will be held in the middle of Golden Week. Those who plan to attend the game should first try a sip of "FC TOKYO GOLEDEN ALE" at the venue.
