Beer House Hobbit Opens a Fresh Keg of Yatsugatake Brewery's Shirakaba Beat Nama

Hop BroOver at Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, they just tapped Shirakaba Beat “Nama” from Yatsugatake Brewery. It’s a limited pilsner on a fresh keg.
MugiWait, what? Birch sap water goes into beer? Is this like drinking a forest after rain?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They use natural birch sap collected in spring on the Kiyosato plateau as part of the brewing water, so it lands crisp but still malty.
MugiHold on, you almost said wort boiling stage like that was normal. What does that even mean?
Hop BroIt’s just the step where the sweet malt liquid gets boiled. They add the sap there, then build it with four pilsner malts and German Cascade hops.
MugiNo way! They ordered a 15-liter keg and are already on keg number two? People are clearly speed-running after-work beer.
Hop BroPretty much. Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata is the kind of pub where this screams first pint of the day, especially with fresh guest beer.
MugiSo it’s not harsh-bitter then? That pilsner snap with a soft side sounds unfairly drinkable.
Hop BroExactly. You get that gentle note from the birch sap, but the finish stays clean and crisp, so it works with food too.
MugiThat settles it. I want the after-work pour of Shirakaba Beat “Nama” right now, and you are absolutely not starting without me.
