Hop BroAt Bakushu-gura Hideji in Nobeoka, they’re serving a limited "Taiyo no Weizen" to celebrate Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary. Just being a first collaboration makes it the kind of beer that stops you in front of the cask.
MugiHuh, Taiyo no Weizen sounds sparkly just from the name! But isn’t Weizen the kind of beer that seems a bit difficult?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: it’s a Hefeweizen. The yeast aroma from the wheat takes center stage, and this time they’ve layered in hop character reminiscent of Hideji’s "Taiyo no Lager" using Mojiko Retro Beer’s technique.
MugiWait, what do you mean by layering in hop character? This is suddenly starting to sound like a science experiment!
Hop BroIn short, it adds a lager-like brightness to the Weizen’s rich fruitiness. And with ABV 5.0% and IBU 8, it’s light and easy to drink without wearing you out.
MugiOhhh! If it’s not bitter, then even a low-bitterness fan like me could go for it! And when I hear it’s limited, I suddenly feel like I have to drink it now!
Hop BroExactly. The post also says it’s easy to recommend to people who don’t like bitterness. Bakushu-gura Hideji is a place where you can slowly enjoy a draft beer that changes from keg to keg, so it’s perfect for drinking a milestone collaboration.
MugiAnd you can drink it at a local beer pub too, which is great. A celebratory beer somehow feels special from the very first sip, and that’s exciting!
Hop BroAnd because this is their first joint brew with Mojiko Retro Beer, there’s a real story behind it too. When brewers combine their strengths, the result carries not just flavor but a whole narrative in one glass.
MugiGot it, this is basically a celebration in one glass! Fragrant, smooth to drink, and limited too, so I want to toast right now!
Hop BroExactly. It’s refreshing and light, yet still has that special milestone feeling, so it’s the kind of beer you’ll want to savor slowly. Tonight, both I and Mugi-chan are the type to naturally start looking for a glass.
MugiYeah, once there’s a limited beer in front of me, I can’t hold back anymore! I want to toast soon with a foamy glass and a cheer as bright as the sun!
