Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery’s Mori no Shizuku Goes on Tap at Restaurant BSB
Restaurant BSB, the brewpub attached to Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery in Bifuka, Hokkaido, has put Mori no Shizuku on tap. The birch-sap beer had previously been available only in bottles, and the tap supply is said to be limited. Bottles remain available as well.
Hop BroToday’s story is that Restaurant BSB just put “Mori no Shizuku” on tap from Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery.
MugiWait, it used to be bottle-only, right? So it’s finally pouring on draft now!?
Hop BroExactly. Their July 3 post announced the keg release, and this beer is brewed with 100% birch sap.
MugiWhat is that even like? A birch sap beer sounds like drinking a tree!
Hop BroNot quite tree-chugging. It’s more of an adjunct-driven approach, where birch sap shapes the beer’s character during brewing.
MugiHold on, adjunct-driven approach sounds like you smuggled in a brewing textbook. Translate, please!
Hop BroFair. It basically means a special beer where the ingredient takes center stage. The style isn’t clearly named, so it’s best read as a specialty ingredient-forward beer.
MugiOhh, and the place itself is a 90-year-old red brick warehouse turned restaurant? That’s already a whole vibe.
Hop BroRight, and Restaurant BSB is attached to Japan’s northernmost craft brewery. They also serve local lamb, so you immediately start imagining beer and lamb pairing magic.
MugiAnd the keg is limited, but bottles are still available to take home, right? That’s basically one pint there, one later and I respect it.
Hop BroExactly. Since the keg volume is small, ordering early is the move. Drink the draft on site, then take a bottle home if it hits.
MugiNow I want to go toast the gift of birch sap with the Hokkaido air included!
