Shiga Kogen Beer lists French Oak Puncheon-finished "PILS!?" 330ml
Shiga Kogen Beer (Tamamura Honten) has newly listed "SHIGA KOGEN PILS!? Cask Finished / French Oak Puncheon 330ml (Product No. 474)" on its official online store. The product page shows a tax-included price of 605 yen, and the item is currently confirmed to be sold out.
Hop BroToday we're talking about a new Shiga Kogen release: Tamamura Honten's "SHIGA KOGEN PILS!? Cask Finished / French Oak Puncheon 330ml" has shown up on the official online store.
MugiWhoa! That name is long! What even is PILS!? It's a pilsner with a question mark, so I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The base leans pilsner-like, but the finishing is where they play, and this one really puts French Oak Puncheon finishing front and center.
MugiWhat is that! Is a puncheon a person's name? It suddenly sounds like a foreign guest!
Hop BroNot a person, but a large cask. Basically, it's a cask-finishing method where the beer picks up the character of French oak barrel aroma in the latter part of the process.
MugiOhhh! So it's like a crisp beer with some wood notes layered on top? A playful experimental pilsner really does feel like Shiga Kogen Beer!
Hop BroExactly. And the product details are clear too: 330ml for 605 yen including tax, product number 474, model number 13415.
MugiI'm checking it out... wait, what! It's marked sold out already!? That was way too fast!
Hop BroChecking the official page is the best bet for restocks. Beyond their core lineup, putting out these nimble special projects is one of Tamamura Honten's strengths.
MugiAll right, I'll wait for a restock alert and get the toast ready! Next time we find it, let's hit add to cart immediately and drink it together!
