Persona brewery in Kofu highlights four weekday draft beers
The brewery-pub in Kofu, Yamanashi introduced the second part of its weekday tap list on Instagram. The lineup features Princess Kolsch, Asahimachi Saison, Botanical Logic, and Sasurai no IPA.
Hop BroTonight's topic is Persona brewery in Kofu and their Weekday, Second Act lineup. They put four draft beers front and center for an easy weekday stop-in.
MugiWait, a second act on a weekday? That sounds like bonus round after work. And Persona is such a dramatic name!
Hop BroThat's the point. Persona brewery is framing it as a glass with your mask off. Drop the work mode, drop the home role, just be yourself for a pint.
MugiOoh, that hits hard after a long day. So what's on those four draft taps?
Hop BroFirst is Princess Kolsch, a kolsch that's clean and elegant. Then Asahimachi Saison brings a dry finish with a light coriander note.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? That sounds less like beer and more like a boutique candle.
Hop BroA saison is a Belgian-style ale with a spicy, dry profile. This one stays crisp, but the coriander gives it a gentle little flourish.
MugiOkay, got it. But Botanical Logic being an IPL? That's way too many letters for one beer menu.
Hop BroIPL means India Pale Lager, basically lager snap and IPA aroma in one pour. Botanical Logic also uses juniper berries from GEEKSTILL in Koshu, so it carries a gin-like botanical edge.
MugiWhat, really? Then Sasurai no IPA sounds like a hop-chasing drifter in the best possible way.
Hop BroExactly. It finishes the set in a very Persona brewery way. Start light, then let the aromas widen into a weekday night flight that makes Kofu feel very tempting.
MugiMy throat just made the decision for me. I want to ditch today's roles and go for just one pint in Kofu... which is obviously going to become two.
Persona brewery, a brewery-pub at 2-18-4 Asahi in Kofu, Yamanashi, offers a rotating selection of core, limited, and seasonal beers across eight taps. In this Instagram post, the brewery focused on its "Weekday, Part 2" lineup.
The caption frames "persona" as a mask and invites guests to step away from work and family roles for a moment and enjoy beer as themselves. The featured set covers taps 1 through 4, giving the lineup a clear range of drinking experiences.
- Princess Kolsch (Kolsch): a clean, elegant beer that is easy to drink, even on a hot day.
- Asahimachi Saison (Saison): dry and spicy, with a gentle coriander note.
- Botanical Logic (IPL): made with juniper berries from GEEKSTILL in Koshu City, combining lager-like sharpness with IPA-style aromatics.
- Sasurai no IPA (IPA): a beer that reflects the brewer's wandering, hop-seeking spirit.
Taken together, the four beers move from light and crisp to aromatic and lingering. It is a good example of the kind of approachable, brewery-side drinking experience Persona brewery offers in Kofu.
