Hop BroAt Yakiniku Stand Meat and Barley in Hatagaya, FLORA FERMENTATION's 'Selu - Selu -' is on tap. It's a lager made with corn, so you can already imagine how well it will go with meat, right?
MugiWait! Corn, as in actual corn? That's kind of amazing that putting it in beer gives it a subtle sweetness!
Hop BroExactly. It brings out the soft character of the grain. Selu is a crisp lager, so even with some sweetness, the finish is nice and clean.
MugiI see... but lager has this sound like adult science class! So does that basically mean it's a clean, refreshing style?
Hop BroPretty much, yes. Because it's fermented slowly at low temperatures, drinkability often stands out more than aroma. In other words, it's a style that's easy to pair with food.
MugiWow, drinking it with yakiniku sounds perfect! And having 10 FLORA beers gathered together in the shop is the kind of thing that's fun just to choose from!
Hop BroAnd if you drink them all and something good is supposed to happen, you'll want to take the challenge. A feature week like this is great because it makes chasing guest beers fun.
MugiBut 10 kinds... I feel like I'd forget what I was drinking halfway through! I'd probably go with the strategy of remembering only the names!
Hop BroThat's fine too. Selu is the one to start with. It has the gentleness of corn and the lightness of a lager, so it seems like it would pair really well with meat dishes.
MugiAnd having a drink on the deck sounds so nice, drinking while feeling the breeze... Beer outdoors always tastes better, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. Drinking Selu while snacking on yakiniku in Hatagaya sounds like a pretty complete experience. I already feel like I want to toast with Selu today.
MugiYeah, now I'm hungry too! The combination of yakiniku and lager makes me want to go try it right now!
