MugiWhoa, Pine Ale!? So it has pineapple in it? A beer with such a tropical vibe is wild!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a fruit ale made with pineapples from Fujita, Okayama City. The ABV is 4.5%, so it’s designed to be light and easy to drink.
MugiFruit ale doesn’t just mean sweet, right? It says drinkability first, but I wonder what it tastes like.
Hop BroThat’s the key point: it has a light pineapple aroma, but the flavor stays crisp rather than sticky or cloying. They’re balancing aroma and mouthfeel instead of making it overly sour or too sweet.
MugiAhh, so it’s the kind that hits you with aroma first and then goes down easy. Not like pineapple juice, but still definitely beer!
Hop BroExactly. You can really see Mabi Chikurin Beer’s approach to fruit beers here, and it’s a glass that clearly shows off the Okayama local character. Connecting local produce through beer is one of the joys of craft brewing.
MugiAnd the place serving it is near Korakuen at Kawazu Brewing, which is perfect for dropping in during a sightseeing stop! It’s the kind of place that makes you want to wander in and have a drink.
Hop BroKawazu Brewing opened in April 2022 as a pub and brewery, and the appeal is that you can enjoy both house-brewed and guest beers. A place where you can find that kind of encounter is great for beer lovers.
MugiLocal brewery to local brewery, and it even has an Okayama-grown connection too. That’s a nice story. It already feels a little heartwarming before you even drink it!
Hop BroYeah, this is definitely one to check out in person. If the crisp finish carries that pineapple aroma, it sounds perfect both as a first beer and as a final one.
MugiThen let’s toast with Pine Ale tonight! If I hear it’s a beer with an aroma focus, I’m already getting restless to drink it!
