Hop BroBaeren Brewery in Morioka has released a long-aged Maibock. It’s a German-style bock that heralds spring, with a mellow, gradually building character.
MugiWhoa! A beer that announces spring sounds so romantic! But bock sounds strong just from the name, doesn’t it?
Hop BroExactly. Bock is known for its slightly higher alcohol content and its solid malt richness. If you let it rest through the winter, it gains more depth and body.
MugiLetting it rest? Do you put beer down for a nap? Do you cover it with a blanket in the fridge?
Hop BroCute idea, but in practice it means slowly aging it after fermentation. The key point with this Maibock is that it’s finished with a longer maturation period than usual.
MugiOhhh! So that’s why it has a mellow drinking feel. It’s not the kind you gulp down fast, but the kind you take your time with.
Hop BroExactly. Baeren is strong with classic styles, so this kind of authentically styled finish suits them really well. Instead of flashiness, they go for malt depth.
MugiI see, so that’s what malt depth means! At first I thought you were talking about something like malt chocolate.
Hop BroNot quite that sweet, but with its calm toastiness and richness, it’s perfect for early spring. The fact that it’s been enjoyed as a May beer is pretty nice too.
MugiI like that. It feels like it’s come through the cold season. A glass to enjoy slowly feels a little grown-up, and I admire that!
Hop BroThen tonight, let’s toast the arrival of spring with Baeren’s Maibock. Once you’re facing a beer with this much depth, it makes you want a sip too.
MugiI’m in! I’m in the mood to toast with Maibock tonight already! Wait, can I get a head start on spring too?
