Hop BroToday's headline is orca Ginza Brewery. They're pouring "August Limited Watermelon Sour" on August 12, and it sounds like peak summer in a glass.
MugiWait, August Limited Watermelon Sour!? Beer with watermelon? That name alone makes me want to open a fridge.
Hop BroThe style is sour ale, so it doesn't just go sweet. The acidity snaps the finish clean.
MugiHold on, you casually said lactic fermentation like that's normal. Why did this turn into science class?
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but think yogurt-like tang. Then they layer in watermelon flesh, coconut, and citrusy hops.
MugiNo way, coconut and hops too? I thought watermelon was already doing all the summer work. This is a tropical all-star team!
Hop BroYep, and it started from a bartender's idea, which is why the fruit character and aroma sound so dialed in. The tap list that day is stacked too, with Ginza IPA and Rauch.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way... but until sold out means strolling in late is a terrible life choice!
Hop BroThe spot is in Ginza 8-chome, basement level of Shokin Building, with food and reservations too, and honestly it's making me thirsty now.
MugiMy mouth is fully in summer mode...! A sweet-tart pour in Ginza after the rain? Yeah, both of us need that immediately.
