Hop BroToday's topic is Futako Beer's seasonal new release. "Yuzu Ginger White" came out on May 1, and even the name already feels like the early summer breeze, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa! Yuzu and ginger? That's an incredibly refreshing combination! And they put it in beer? That's a little too stylish!
Hop BroExactly, and the style is White Ale. It's combining the softness of wheat malt with Setagaya hon-yuzu and naturally cultivated ginger from Kochi.
MugiWhite Ale means a white beer, right? I have this image of something soft and gentle, but what's actually different?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's about not pushing hop bitterness too far forward and enjoying the softness of wheat and its aroma. On top of that, the yuzu's citrus notes and ginger's spice come through, so it's not just light.
MugiWhat is that! It sounds light but has depth, so it's a win before you even drink it! If you knock one back on a terrace, it'll definitely feel great!
Hop BroThat's exactly the aim, and even the announcement describes it as a beer made for the terrace. ABV is 5.0%, so it's not something you have to brace yourself for.
MugiFutako Beer really has that local Futakotamagawa feel. Reflecting the area's ingredients somehow makes even the story sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. In addition to the regular FUTAKO ALE and FUTAKO IPA, the Setagaya-grown series is what gives Futako Beer its way of turning the city's atmosphere into beer.
MugiAnd you can drink it at Futako Beer Terrace too, and buy it at the brewery and online? I need to secure some while I'm still curious before the seasonal limited one disappears!
Hop BroExactly. This is one you want to grab early. So tonight, let's go with the one you'd want to choose first, and toast together in terrace mode.
MugiAgreed! Just imagining the aroma of yuzu already makes me want to drink it right now!
