Hop BroToday let's talk about the Orooro Black being served at Susukino Ale STAND in Sapporo. It's the kind that changes your image of black beer.
MugiWait, isn't black beer supposed to be heavy and bitter? Is it really possible to lightly enjoy it?!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's a guest beer from The Old Grey Brewery, the style is Schwarz, and the ABV is 5.0%.
MugiWhat?! Just from the name, Schwarz sounds strong... Is ABV 5.0% on the drinkable side?
Hop BroGood question. It has the roasty aroma of malt, but the point is the balance of crispness and body, so the finish isn't too heavy for a dark beer.
MugiOh, I see! Then it feels like an "entry point" to black beer. It's one of those fragrant yet light beers I could probably handle!
Hop BroAnd the pairings are great too. It goes with fried foods and meat dishes, of course, but it also has the versatility to match nuts and chocolate.
MugiAmazing! I heard you can take it to go too, not just drink it in the shop, so the takeout support is really helpful!
Hop BroIt's on the B1F of COCONO SUSUKINO, you can enjoy it from 10:00 a.m., and you can also check it on the EC site. I'm already in the mood to have a drink right now.
