Hop BroA new guest beer from Sankt Gallen has been tapped at Half Yard Shiki, a beer pub in Shiki. This time it's "Whey Sour Ale Strawberry" - even the name sounds delicious.
MugiWait, a strawberry sour ale!? Sweet-tart strawberry flavor sounds almost like dessert!
Hop BroExactly. The base is a sour ale, and the key point is the acidity derived from whey. It's a mix of lactic, tangy sharpness and strawberry fruitiness.
MugiWhey? What is that, like the stuff from milk? It's in beer!?
Hop BroBasically, it's a liquid component that comes out in cheese or yogurt making. Using it makes a clean, refreshing acidity easier to bring out, and it gives the beer a more layered character than just plain sourness.
MugiOhhh! And with wheat and oats, it gets a smooth mouthfeel, too. Sour but easy to drink? That definitely catches my attention!
Hop BroRight. And this beer has a very clear flavor profile, so it should really appeal to people looking for a sour ale with strong fruit character.
MugiAnd the post also listed names like Ise Kadoya Brewery and West Coast Brewing, so it sounds like a lineup of standout brews all in a row. The tap updates seem fun!
Hop BroYeah, it's great when you can see everything from the classics to more adventurous labels. Being able to choose one beer at a time based on the day's tap lineup is part of the charm of a beer pub.
MugiIf you're trying to decide where to drink in Shiki, this is definitely one to remember. If you can reserve by phone or DM, it's even easier to go!
Hop BroThen today's settled. Let's toast with the strawberry sour and spend a little time debating our next pour in front of the taps.
MugiAgreed! I'm already in strawberry standby mode!
