MugiWhoa, Blue Noir already sounds stylish! Pinot Noir and blueberry? Can beer really get that wine-like?
Hop BroIt can, you know. It's the kind of beer where fruitiness and acidity come together beautifully, with a blueberry note floating gently over Pinot Noir-like nuances.
MugiHuh! But when I hear dry finish, it feels like the beer suddenly makes a serious face when you finish drinking it.
Hop BroThat's the good part. The moderate acidity gives it a crisp edge, so it's not too sweet or too heavy, and it pairs easily with food.
MugiI see! And having eight beers lined up in the Today's Beer Tap selection sounds fun even before you choose anything!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is strong too. There's SNOW MONKEY IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer, I FEEL ME from Hoppukotan Brewing, and Tea Pale Ale from Trans Brewing, so the Japanese side is strong as well.
MugiWait, there are overseas beers too? So if distinctive picks from the US, UK, and Australia are all there, it turns into a comparison-tasting session today!
Hop BroThat's right. Take A Hike from RANGE × Mountain Culture and Crimson Highway from Burnt Mill are included too, so the range of styles is pretty wide.
MugiStopping by after work and starting with Blue Noir sounds amazing! Just having a drink in Doyama-cho already feels like a reward for the day.
Hop BroYeah, Marciero's appeal is being able to follow these seasonal taps, and today it's clearly a must-try tasting lineup. I'm thinking I'll start with Blue Noir too, and before I know it, I'll probably order another one.
