Stand Umineko SiB100 introduces DBW's new Maibock 'Niban Senji'
Stand Umineko SiB100 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, introduced Derailleur Brew Works' new Maibock, 'Niban Senji.' At 7% alcohol, it is a beer that puts the thickness of malt front and center, finishing in a way that gently accompanies the feeling of spring.
Hop BroAt Stand Umineko SiB100 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Derailleur Brew Works' new Maibock, "Niban Senji", came out. It's the kind of beer that gently accompanies spring, and it goes after malt depth rather than flash.
MugiWhat? Niban Senji is a brand-new release even though the name sounds like 'second time around'? It doesn't feel like 'again?' at all. If anything, it makes me curious.
Hop BroExactly. And the style is Maibock. With ABV 7%, IBU 31, and SRM 7, even the numbers show a design that really brings out the outline of the malt.
MugiABV, IBU, SRM - suddenly it sounds like code! Being able to tell the flavor just from the numbers is scary-fun in the beer world!
Hop BroIn short, ABV is alcohol content, IBU is bitterness, and SRM is a color guideline. So this beer has real drinkability while staying neither too bitter nor too heavy.
MugiI see! And hearing that it uses German malt makes it sound classy, like it might have a bread-like aroma!
Hop BroThat's exactly the point. Because it's brewed with only first-press wort, the malt character comes forward. The flavor layers caramel and bread-like sweetness with the gentle bitterness of German hops.
MugiOnly first-press wort? That sounds luxurious! Malt flavor at full throttle really seems to fit, and just hearing that makes me hungry!
Hop BroAnd although SiB100 is a compact place of about 4 tsubo, it has as many as 21 taps, so you can have a casual pint or compare several beers. It's also nice that although it's close to Shibuya Station, once you step inside it has a calming atmosphere.
MugiThat sounds perfect! If I drank a calm lager in that atmosphere away from the bustle, the spring night would suddenly turn into something really nice!
Hop BroThat's why this pint, which slowly accompanies spring, fits a place like SiB100. Instead of flying off like an IPA, it's the kind of beer where you quietly savor the malt flavor.
MugiGot it! Today I'm in the mood to really drink in the malt depth! Hey Hop bro, after reading this, it feels like the two of us are just going to head over, doesn't it?
At Stand Umineko SiB100 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Derailleur Brew Works' new beer "Niban Senji" was introduced. SiB100 is a beer pub in Shibuya's Hyakkendana area, and in its compact interior of about 4 tsubo it offers up to 21 taps. The second floor also serves canned beer, making it an easy place to use for everything from a casual pint to side-by-side tastings.
This beer is a Maibock. With ABV 7%, IBU 31, and SRM 7, even the numbers alone make its malt presence easy to feel. The ingredients are malt, hops, and carbon dioxide. The post explains that it is brewed with German malt and only first-press wort, bringing out the malt's character to the fullest.
The flavor direction is clear as well. Sweet notes reminiscent of caramel and bread are layered with the gentle bitterness from German hops, and while it is not heavy, it still has satisfying depth. It is presented as a calm lager style that slowly suits the spring sunlight. The brewer is Yodi.
Stand Umineko SiB100 is within walking distance of Shibuya Station, yet once you step inside, it has an atmosphere that feels a little removed from the bustle. It is the kind of place that suits beers that let you carefully enjoy the malt character and warmth, rather than just putting flashiness up front. This "Niban Senji" is also being introduced as a beer best savored slowly in that kind of space.
If you're in Shibuya and looking for a beer that goes in a different direction from hop-forward IPAs, SiB100's taps are worth paying attention to. One of the charms of this DBW directly operated shop is that you can enjoy its distinctive naming and beers centered on malt flavor at the same time.
