Hop BroToyful Brewery in Kurume has brought back and put its staple pale ale “HELLO” back on sale. When a classic like this returns, it’s a little heartwarming, isn’t it?
MugiHuh! The name HELLO #Pale Ale is so cute! If it’s a revival, does that mean it was popular before?
Hop BroExactly. In the brewery’s direct online shop, it’s listed as a staple pale ale, and you can buy it for 660 yen or more per bottle, either individually or as a six-bottle set.
MugiOhhh! I always thought pale ale was just bitter, though. Is that right?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Pale ale isn’t just about bitterness; the balance between the malt aroma and the hop aroma is important. It’s all about being easy to drink while still having character.
MugiI see! So Toyful Brewery is also thinking about first-time drinkers?
Hop BroExactly. The website presents styles that are easy to enjoy even if it’s your first time, and since the lineup also includes PUNKY #IPA, GREEN APPLE #Fruity Ale, and CHOCOLAT ORANGE #Fruit Stout, it feels like they’re widening the entry point.
MugiWow, they even have a tasting set! I used to brace myself when it came to IPA, but a pale ale sounds doable!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the idea. Staying true to Kurume’s brewery feel, they’ve brought back HELLO as a beer that fits into everyday life under the banner of Craft Beer For Kurume.
MugiIt really feels less like a flashy limited edition and more like a beer you’d want to drink every day. Even the word Kurume feels familiar, so it makes me want to try it.
Hop BroThen tonight’s settled. If you raise a glass with HELLO in hand, you might be able to taste Toyful Brewery’s current direction too.
