Beer Cafe Vertere to Release Collaboration Pack with Magpie Brewing of Jeju Island, South Korea on May 1
Beer Cafe Vertere in Tokyo's Okutama will release a collaboration pack with Magpie Brewing of Jeju Island, South Korea, at 12:00 on May 1. The lineup centers on a sour ale combining mango, pineapple, and chili, and is being announced as a four-bottle set.
Hop BroSo, this is a May 1 at 12:00 release, where Beer Cafe Vertere in Tokyo's Okutama is putting out a collaboration pack with Magpie Brewing from Jeju Island, South Korea.
MugiWhoa! Just the fact that it's a Jeju Island collaboration already sounds stylish. What beers are in it?
Hop BroIt's a four-bottle set in total: two Vespas, one Rostrata, and one Eugenia. The centerpiece is `Vespa / Mango Sour w/Pineapple&Chili`.
MugiWhat even is that? Mango and chili - is it sweet or spicy?!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It layers gentle lactic acidity with fruitiness, then lets chili powder create a subtle lingering finish.
MugiOhhh! It seems easy for sour ale beginners to drink, while still feeling playful!
Hop BroAnd the alcohol content is a solid 8.0%, with the IBU listed as "—". Instead of showing bitterness by number, it's the kind of beer that makes its point through acidity and aroma.
MugiIf the IBU is "—", does that mean there's no bitterness indicator? It's a little hard to tell, but basically it sounds like they're not forcing it with hops, right?
Hop BroExactly. Rostrata is a West Coast IPA, and Eugenia is an NZIPA, so you can still enjoy the hop outline clearly. Being able to drink fruit brightness alongside hop sharpness is what makes this pack strong.
MugiWow, it's the kind of thing that makes me want to check the official shop and buy it! I want to toast right now while feeling the breeze from Okutama and Jeju Island!
