Hop BroToday I want to talk about Nara Brewing's new release, the German Pilsner DAYLONG!
MugiWhoa! Nara Brewing is the place that makes those bold beers too, right? Is this one more of an everyday beer?
Hop BroExactly. This time they're prioritizing drinkability over flash, with a light, crisp design at ABV 5.0% and IBU 17.
MugiI always freeze when I hear IBU... does that mean the bitterness level?
Hop BroThat's right! IBU 17 means it has a clean bite without getting too sharp, so think of it as a bitterness you can drink smoothly.
MugiHuh. And brewing it only with German ingredients is pretty serious, isn't it? All-German ingredients and everything?
Hop BroThat's the romantic part. The hops are Hallertau Hersbrucker and Merkur, and the malts are Pilsner and Vienna, so it achieves a balance of malt fullness and lightness.
MugiWhat? That sounds like a spell! But basically it means elegant aroma and a light finish, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the first release is rolling out at liquor shops in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, with online sales starting at noon on March 27, so if you want it, timing matters.
MugiGot it, triple alarm set! This spring beer is already DAYLONG for the win. I want to toast right now!
