Hop BroToday’s article is about the five taps Fructus Sakaba in Utsubohonmachi put out on March 16, and it’s seriously interesting.
MugiWait, that much range on the same day? From light to rich? That’s amazing!
Hop BroFirst, Nara Brewing’s "BEER AFTER SAUNA" is a Fruit Gose at 4.0%, and BELCHING BEAVER’s "Peanut Butter Milk Stout" is 5.3%, so it’s a two-step lineup of entry and depth.
MugiWhat is that! Fruit Gose sounds stylish, but what exactly is a Gose?
Hop BroGood question. Gose is a wheat-based sour with a light saltiness and acidity, and when fruit character is added, it becomes a totally refreshing flavor profile.
MugiWow, and they also have Peanut Butter Milk Stout on the same day? So they’ve got the sweet-and-roasty zone covered too!
Hop BroAnd the collaborations are hot: "YOU WAKU MOSAIC" is a Single Session IPA at 4.5%, and Nara Brewing x Yucho Shuzo’s "UNDERWATER" is a Sake Yeast Beer at 11%.
Mugi11%!? That’s definitely a "take it slow" kind of beer... Wait, what happens with a beer brewed with sake yeast?
Hop BroIt tends to bring out ginjo-like aromatics and a crisp finish, and even at a higher ABV it has a distinct personality on the palate. That’s why UNDERWATER really hits for people who like to take their time.
MugiAnd BEPPU BREWERY’s "Dr.Geyser" is a Spiced Sour Ale at 3.5%, right? The trap of acidity and spice is too interesting to ignore!
Hop BroThey even have food like stir-fried chicken neck and wood ear mushrooms with spices, plus spinach chicken curry, so on weekdays it’s relaxed and you can either stop by for one drink or stay and drink at length.
MugiIt’s settled! Start light, finish with UNDERWATER, and I want to go drink right now!
