Hop BroToday’s topic is a Mizue guest beer. At 444 BEYOND, tap No.2 was repubrew’s 'Murasakiimo COOKIE WHEAT.'
MugiWhat! A purple sweet potato beer? Is that a dessert or a drink? I’m already obsessed with the name.
Hop BroThe style is Pastry wheat, and it’s 5.0% ABV. It’s a wheat beer with a soft body and a dessert-inspired twist.
MugiWait, what is Pastry wheat? That sounds like a magic spell. Are we drinking liquid bread now?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a dessert-leaning wheat beer. It gives you a gentle sweetness, but the finish isn’t too heavy, so it stays approachable.
MugiOhhh! And the post said it had a nice sweet-bitter balance, right? I’m glad the sweet potato isn’t running wild on its own.
Hop BroThat’s the good part. You really taste the purple sweet potato, but the sweetness and bitterness stay soft and balanced, so the ingredient still feels vivid.
MugiThat sounds great! If it has an easy-drinking finish, even a craft beer beginner like me could jump right in.
Hop BroAnd 444 BEYOND has a tiny standing-bar vibe, which makes chasing daily guest taps like this even more fun.
MugiI can already picture it... a drink in Mizue while figuring out that sweet potato note sounds kind of perfect.
Hop BroThey were open from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m. that day, so it’s exactly the kind of beer that makes you want to aim for tap No.2 after work.
MugiThat settles it. I’m fully in COOKIE WHEAT mode now, and my mouth is officially on beer standby!
