Hop BroToday’s topic is Kanazawa’s Korinbo Jibir Bar pouring Minoh Beer’s High Collar Pils on tap.
MugiWhat! The name alone grabs me. What even is high-collar when it’s a pilsner and somehow sounds fancy?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a 5.5% ABV Italian Pilsner, a style with easy drinkability and really pleasant aroma.
MugiHold on, Italian Pilsner means what exactly? Does it come with pizza on the side or something?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. Think of a clean lager base with extra hop aroma layered on top to make it more expressive.
MugiOhhh, so that article note about noble hop herbal notes means a fresh grassy kind of elegance?
Hop BroExactly. It stays refined, then meets a gentle malt sweetness and turns into a beautifully balanced pint.
MugiAnd Korinbo Jibir Bar is Kanazawa’s first craft beer specialty shop with eight draft beers always on? That fridge must be a theme park.
Hop BroThe food lineup helps too. Handmade gyoza and Noto pork sausage are basically snacks built for beer, and this pils would pair perfectly.
MugiAlso, weekends and holidays start at 3 p.m., so day drinking is on. Why does beer in daylight feel so dramatic?
Hop BroIf you track guest taps, new keg alerts matter. This one sounds easygoing but still defined, great as a first pour or with food.
MugiThat settles it. If I’m in Kanazawa, I want to drink High Collar Pils at Korinbo Jibir Bar, and gyoza is non-negotiable.
