The beer pub BINGE near Nagoya Station announced a new Japanese special bottle arrival on Instagram. Along with UCHU Brewing’s "Labyrinth 002 / Black Barleywine / 13%", the post also introduced a varied tap lineup, including distinctive beers tied to Derailleur Brew Works.
Hop BroThere’s news of Labyrinth 002 arriving at BINGE near Nagoya Station. It’s a dark barrel wine from UCHU Brewing, and this one is seriously hefty.
MugiWhoa! Just the name black barrel wine sounds powerful! And Labyrinth sounds like the kind of thing you’d never find your way out of once you drink it.
Hop BroYou’re on the right track. This is a 13% heavyweight, blended from barrels aged for more than two years in Heaven Hill Bourbon and Jim Beam Double Oak Bourbon casks.
MugiWait, you blend barrels? Aged for more than two years sounds like it went on some huge journey! What was it doing in the barrel all that time?
Hop BroBasically, the wood barrel transfers aroma and sweetness into the beer, giving it more depth. That’s how you get that dark caramel character and the complexity of plum and raisin.
MugiWhat is that, a dessert shelf? A beer with plum and raisin in it is already telling my brain it’s sweet before I even drink it!
Hop BroAnd BINGE isn’t just about bottles. The ON TAP TODAY lineup is interesting too, ranging from HAZY IPA and WEST COAST IPA to PILSNER.
MugiWhoa, that range is wild! Having everything from IPA to pilsner is basically enough for a meeting in one place. I’d want to do a tasting flight first!
Hop BroOn top of that, Nishinari Riot Ale, HiDE-Y$i Trigger the cuckoo protocol, Umineko no Ongaeshi, and long season lonely planet are the kind of distinctive picks associated with Derailleur Brew Works.
MugiThose titles are full of personality! A lineup of distinctive taps is the kind of thing that makes you feel tipsy just reading the names. But that’s what makes it fun.
Hop BroExactly. From the heavy Labyrinth 002 to the lighter beers on draft, this is the kind of lineup that makes you want to compare pours in Meieki tonight.
MugiYeah, I totally want to go now! Let’s toast at BINGE tonight and get lost in that black labyrinth.
