Sea Breeze Brewery Lab's 'Keiyo Kölsch' tapped at 444 BEYOND
The Tokyo Mizue beer pub 444 BEYOND tapped Sea Breeze Brewery Lab's 'Keiyo Kölsch' from Chiba Prefecture on Sunday, March 29. This light golden ale comes in at ABV 5.0% and IBU 22, and is being recommended as a beer that suits daytime drinking on a sunny day.
Hop BroToday, I want to make sure we note the new tap at the Mizue beer pub 444 BEYOND: Sea Breeze Brewery Lab's 'Keiyo Kölsch'.
MugiHuh! I've heard the Kölsch name before, but it suddenly sounds kind of advanced, and now I'm nervous!
Hop BroEven if it looks complicated, what's inside is the kind of beer that feels good, with the brightness of a Light Golden Ale and the lightness of ABV 5.0% and IBU 22.
MugiWait a second, ABV and IBU? When the numbers line up like that, my brain starts wobbling like it's looking at test scores!
Hop BroPut simply, ABV is the alcohol content, and IBU is a measure of bitterness. So this one is designed to be easy to drink without feeling unsatisfying, the kind you can enjoy even from midday.
MugiI see! And if you say daytime drinking on a sunny day, I can already picture the balcony chair!
Hop BroThe aroma is toasty and fruity, and with a dry finish, moderate bitterness, and a malty outline, it goes down smoothly while still having a real core of flavor.
MugiWhat is that! Saying it has an outline in the aftertaste makes the beer feel so vivid in my head - that's unfair!
Hop BroAnd the post even says it's delicious first or last, so it's strong both as a first-pint warm-up and as a quiet finishing drink.
MugiIf they're serving that at a beer pub in Mizue just steps from the station on a blue-sky Sunday, of course I'd stop by. Now I really want to go drink!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Let's tap Keiyo Kölsch and have a drink while watching the daylight.
MugiYeah! Today, I want to make the best relaxed start with a pint from Sea Breeze Brewery Lab!
