LANA Beer in Mizonokuchi taps Kagoya Brewery’s Sagan Ruby
LANA Beer in Kawasaki has switched to a guest beer from Kagoya Brewery in Komae, Tokyo: Sagan Ruby. The saison-based beer uses Saga-grown grapefruit and is being served at a beer pub that focuses on food designed to pair with beer.
Hop BroMizonokuchi just got an interesting tap swap: LANA Beer's guest tap is now Kagoya Brewery's Sagan Ruby.
MugiWait, what! Sagan Ruby sounds like a gemstone. That's a beer?
Hop BroYep. Kagoya Brewery from Komae, Tokyo made it as a saison-based beer, and it uses a rare grapefruit from Saga Prefecture.
MugiThere it is again! Saison-based sounds like I'm about to get tested on craft beer vocabulary.
Hop BroSimple version: saison is usually light and dry, so it plays well with food. That's why this style works so nicely at the table.
MugiOhhh, so you get grapefruit freshness without picking a fight with the meal?
Hop BroExactly. LANA Beer is built around meals that match beer, and they care a lot about pouring and quality control too.
MugiNo way, that sounds fun already. So what would you eat with this one?
Hop BroSalty dishes and fried food are a great fit. The citrus aroma and saison backbone make it great with meals instead of just a one-note fruit beer.
MugiI'm hungry just hearing that. Let's go to Mizonokuchi and make the first round this beer.
Hop BroThat's the right move. Sit down, order some food, and start with a glass of Sagan Ruby.
