Hop BroSomething interesting just dropped at Kanazawa Station: Kaga Bocha Chocolate Stout has been tapped as a Valentine's limited release.
MugiWhat, you can drink that at Kanazawa Station!? An beer pub directly connected to the station sounds amazing!
Hop BroIt's at Oriental Brewing Kanazawa Station shop, on the 2nd floor of Anto West at Kanazawa Station, so it's easy to swing by.
MugiHuh! But what kind of taste is stout? I know it's dark, but that's about it!
Hop BroStout is a style where roasted malt takes center stage, so you get a strong richness and aroma from the roasted grains.
MugiThat sounds delicious... but 7% alcohol is pretty strong, right?
Hop BroThis one takes the standard Kaga Bocha Stout, bumps up the strength a bit, and layers in cacao for a reinforced version of the regular.
MugiKaga bocha plus chocolate is almost unfair! A winter beer with chocolate aroma sounds like a win just from the name!
Hop BroThe ingredients are malt, hops, Kaga bocha, and cacao powder, and it's also great for comparing it with the regular lineup in the warm dining room.
MugiWait, what does guest beer mean in the article? Is that different from the regular menu?
Hop BroIt means a special tap opening available only for that period, and this time it's truly a seasonal guest tap. The local feel from the Yuuwaku Brewery really comes through.
MugiIt's decided! Hop and I are meeting at Kanazawa Station and toasting the Valentine's limited release together!
At the beer pub Oriental Brewing Kanazawa Station shop, located on the 2nd floor of Anto West at Kanazawa Station, information about a seasonal limited beer has been released. The post title was "[Valentine's Limited Beer ❤️🍫🍺]," and this time's star is Kaga Bocha Chocolate Stout.
The limited version is built on the standard Kaga Bocha Stout, with the alcohol content raised slightly and the aroma of cacao added. The style is stout, the ingredients are malt, hops, Kaga bocha, and cacao powder, and the alcohol content is listed at 7%. Its defining feature is a winter-like, full-bodied flavor that layers a sweet aroma over roasted, toasty notes.
The shop is directly connected to Kanazawa Station, making it easy to access and convenient to stop by between trips. Another appeal is that it consistently highlights beers made with local ingredients. This time, the brewery is presenting it as a Valentine's-season limited offering, recommending that it be enjoyed slowly indoors, and it also works well for side-by-side comparison with the regular lineup.
The brewpub's background includes the presence of the Oriental Brewing Yuuwaku Brewery. While it offers craft beer in a station-convenient setting, being able to experience recipes with a local character is a distinctive strength of this shop.
