MugiWait, so it's a persimmon beer? It sounds sweet, but hearing sour ale makes it sound like it turns sharply crisp, which makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly, that's the interesting part. Because it tightens the gentle sweetness with acidity, it's not just sweet and should pair well both before and during a meal.
MugiWhat do you mean! What's the deal with the combination of acidity and fruitiness? I'm not sure whether this is beer or dessert, my head is all floaty!
Hop BroThe thing is, sour ale is appealing for its fermentation-driven tartness. When clean acidity comes in, the fruit character comes forward without getting flabby.
MugiWow! And Onomichi Brewery is good at using local ingredients, right? Lemon, hassaku, even ginger - that's some serious local love!
Hop BroExactly. This one too follows that line and really shows Onomichi character as a glass of local ingredients. Just hearing that it's a limited release makes you not want to miss it.
MugiAnd the place is an old storehouse built in 1894, right? Drinking persimmon sour ale in such a cool place would make me feel like I suddenly became a person of culture!
Hop BroBecause it's a brewpub renovated from an old storehouse, the experience of drinking it fresh on the spot is great. Being able to taste the atmosphere of Onomichi itself is a strong point.
MugiThe fact that you can drop in during sightseeing and also get takeout is the best! If I made it my partner for strolling around Onomichi, I'd probably get happier with every step!
Hop BroAll right, now I really want to go. A toast in the old storehouse with a limited persimmon sour in hand would be amazing. I really want a drink today.
MugiI want to drink too! Just the sound of having a drink in Onomichi tastes good, and imagining the gentle aroma of persimmon is enough - I want to toast right now!
