Hop BroChikugo Ma's Craft in Fukuoka Prefecture's Chikugo City has put out a tasting set. A microbrewery that started by DIY-ing a home garage into a brewery has a lot of romance right from the beginning.
MugiWhat! A brewery from a garage is real? That sounds like a movie! And "Heartfelt craft beer" already makes it feel like it's going to be delicious!
Hop BroThis time's main stars are Chikugo Saison, Yuzu Saison, and Chikugo IPA. There are 3-bottle and 6-bottle sets, and the flavor lineup is really easy to understand.
MugiWhat's a Saison? I've heard of IPA, but I don't think I can tell the difference between Saison styles!
Hop BroSaison is a style that was originally drunk during farm work, and its appeal is a dry, crisp drinking finish. Add yuzu aroma to that, and the freshness comes forward even more, so you can have fun comparing it with Chikugo Saison.
MugiI see, so it's basically citrus sparkle! So IPA is the bitterness side, and Saison is the light and breezy side?
Hop BroExactly. Chikugo IPA is the one for enjoying hop aroma and bitterness, and the nice thing is that you can compare the flavors within the same brewery. The 3-bottle set is 1,980 yen including tax, and the 6-bottle set is 3,960 yen including tax, so it's a perfect first step.
MugiThat's affordable! And if I can try one of each, even a beginner like me won't get lost!
Hop BroWhat makes it even more interesting is that they also have a set for Benji fans. There's also guidance that if you comment with your favorite song on Instagram, you'll get an original sticker, so they really connect music and beer.
MugiWow! It's amazing that just drinking beer can also include the fun of commenting your favorite song! I want to start with Chikugo Saison and finish with Chikugo IPA!
Hop BroIn the end, a tasting set from Chikugo City is a great way to see the face of this brewery. This is definitely the kind of night where I seriously have to decide whether to start with Saison or IPA.
