Hop BroToday’s headline is that Fukushima’s Abukuma Riverside Brewery is releasing a new beer!
MugiWhoa! What is it? Just the name already has me curious, is this the one called Pomme STAR?
Hop BroExactly! It goes on sale starting April 1, and it’ll be available at the direct sales shop, events, and the online store.
MugiHuh! I heard it’s a Fruit Ale brewed as a saison, but what is a saison style? A spell?
Hop BroNot a spell, haha. Roughly speaking, it’s an ale with a light, aromatic character, and it goes well with food too.
MugiGot it! And it uses Sun Fuji apples from Oguro Orchard in Sukagawa City? That already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe product name “pomme” means apple in French, so the idea is to make it a drink where apples can shine.
MugiThat’s so nice! I’m almost emotional just from the name, the romance of local ingredients is too strong!
Hop BroWhat’s more, this brewery makes its beer at “Otona Eki Tamakawa” near Otsuka Falls in Tamakawa Village, and its regular lineup is full of solid performers.
MugiThen from April 1 on, I’ll have to check stock and look up event appearance info too!
Hop BroThat’s the plan. Just imagining a saison with the aroma of apples is enough to make me want to drink it right now!
