Passific Brewing's Hola arrives as a guest beer at BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA
BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA in Onarimachi, Kamakura is drawing attention with Passific Brewing's collaboration beer Hola. Brewed with Barchie's Spareribs Factory, the Mexican lager highlights masa-like toastiness and the bright freshness of sudachi.
Hop BroKamakura has a guest tap worth talking about: BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA just poured Passific Brewing's 'Hola'.
MugiWait, that name already sounds fun! What makes a Mexican lager different from a regular lager?
Hop BroIt's a collaboration between Passific Brewing and Barchie's Spareribs Factory, and this is their third brew together with masa flour and sudachi in the recipe.
MugiNo way, a third batch? That's basically a beer sequel, and a spareribs collab is just rude to my appetite!
Hop BroThey've kept it going since around the first anniversary, tweaking the recipe each time while keeping the place's identity, so it's evolving little by little.
MugiBut when you say 'light and crispy,' I picture deep-fried beer and now my brain is at a snack stand!
Hop BroNot that kind of crispy. It means a light body and a clean finish, with fresh green sudachi on the nose and a toasty masa note underneath.
MugiWhat is that! Passific calling it 'drinkable tacos' is so unfairly good that I can taste it already.
Hop BroAnd BARCHIE'S KAMAKURA is a beer pub in Onarimachi built around American-style charcoal BBQ, so Hola should have great pairing power with tacos or spareribs.
MugiIf it works with tacos and ribs, that's a win. I'm fully in a Kamakura beer run mood now, so let's go drink Hola!
Passific Brewing's collaboration beer, Hola, is a Mexican lager created with Barchie's Spareribs Factory. This is the third time the two teams have brewed it together, building on a project that started around the shop's first anniversary and has been refined in small steps each time.
The flavor centers on the toasted character of masa flour used in the tacos at Barchie's, along with the bright, green aroma of sudachi. The recipe has been adjusted to feel lighter and crisper, so the beer finishes clean while leaving a subtle roasted note and a food-friendly aftertaste. Passific Brewing describes it as something close to a drinkable taco.
