Kirizumi Brewery Introduces Spring White Beer '61wit'
Kirizumi Brewery in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture, introduced the Belgian wit beer "61wit" as its spring recommendation. Made with organically grown wheat "Norin 61" from Fukuda Farm in Fujioka City and kabosu from Annaka, it is crafted into a gentle 6% ABV, IBU 12 profile.
Hop BroA perfect spring topic has arrived. "61wit," introduced by Kirizumi Brewery in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture, is a beer I’m really curious about.
MugiWhoa, even the name 61wit sounds stylish! And a spring white beer? It already feels gentle before you even drink it!
Hop BroThe style is Belgian wit, with the soft character of wheat taking center stage. It has that easygoing feel that slips right in even during the seasonal transition.
MugiBelgian wit sounds like a spell! A white beer doesn’t actually mean it’s white in appearance, right?
Hop BroThat’s an important point. The cloudy appearance comes from the wheat, and the main ingredient this time is Norin 61, organically grown at Fukuda Farm in Fujioka City.
MugiOhhh, Norin 61 sounds cool even as a variety name! It’s got rice-number energy, but once it becomes beer it suddenly feels like an ace!
Hop BroAnd because they pair it with kabosu from Annaka, it’s not just soft and gentle, but also has a crisp outline in the aroma. The way they combine local ingredients is smart.
MugiA white beer with kabosu? Just imagining it feels so refreshing! And if it has a fresh aroma, it sounds perfect for daytime drinking in spring!
Hop BroThe brewing side is interesting too: IBU 12 and 6% means it’s designed to avoid being too bitter or too light. And since they trap natural carbonation with tirage, you can expect fine, delicate bubbles too.
MugiWhat is that, they’re doing something wine-like inside the can? With that kind of careful brewing, I’d be ready to run out and buy it today!
Hop BroExactly. What makes it appealing is that it balances springlike lightness with the softness of a white beer. This is definitely one that makes the two of us want to have a glass together.
