MugiWhoa, seven kegs!? And just from the names alone, there are lagers, hazies, dark beers... they're all so different that my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThe first beer to note is BLUE GHOSTS. It's WHIPLASH's German Pilsner, a crisp beer at 5.2% ABV.
MugiA German Pilsner? What is that! When I hear 'Pilsner,' I think of something clean and refreshing, but... is there a difference?
Hop BroThere is. Here, they use hops called Hersbrucker and Saaz, building in herbal and spicy notes with a citrus layer. They also aim for a gentle ester character from fermentation.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just light, it also has depth of aroma. Sharp and crisp, but with a bit of sophistication!
Hop BroExactly. What's more, the lineup that day is interesting, with PILSNER URQUELL, BREWDOG's DOUBLE HAZY, and two beers from DDC!, so you can enjoy a wide range of styles all at once.
MugiWhoa, there are hazies, dark beers, and sour beers too!? Being able to choose by mood makes it feel like a beer maze - so fun!
Hop BroWhat's more, CATARATAS is in the B2F basement, and the atmosphere is calm, so it's a space suited to side-by-side tastings. From well-chilled lagers to strongly aromatic beers, it makes you want to work through them in order.
MugiThen it's settled: the first beer has to be BLUE GHOSTS! After that, we'll wander based on mood too, and I want us to set out on a journey through seven kegs!
