BRIGHT BLUE BREWING lists five draft beers as autumn begins in Fujiyoshida
BRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, shared its current lineup as the area turned noticeably cooler after Risshu. The brewery is pouring five beers on tap and offering three in bottles, ranging from easygoing classics to spiced styles.
Hop BroBRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Fujiyoshida just rolled out its early autumn tap list. Five on tap and three in bottles, and the lineup fits that cooler seasonal air perfectly.
MugiWhat! It sounds like a season change delivery in beer form! Craft beer when the mornings and nights get chilly suddenly feels like a grown-up field trip.
Hop BroThe backbone here is Ichigome Pilsner. It is easy-drinking and crisp, and then they balance it with hop-forward options like Pink Boots IPA to give the whole list real range.
MugiWhoa, but what is an IPA exactly? When you say hop-forward, I start picturing the weightlifting club of the beer world.
Hop BroIPA is a hop-driven beer style, so the aroma and bitterness are part of the main attraction. Pink Boots IPA should really show that, which makes it fun next to the clean, crisp Ichigome Pilsner.
MugiGot it! Then what about Mango Sour Ale? The name alone sounds like a tropical fruit market sprinting straight at me.
Hop BroThat one is all about fruit character and gentle tartness. It catches the tail end of summer but still works with the cooler feel of early autumn, so it bridges the seasons really well.
MugiHold on, Jalapeno Saison means actual peppers in beer!? And what even is a saison, some kind of stylish magic spell?
Hop BroA saison is a farmhouse-born style with a light body that takes on spice and aromatic accents really well. That is why Jalapeno Saison and Spice Ale make sense here, and the bottled trio of Ichigome Pilsner, Spice Ale, and Jalapeno Saison is great for side-by-side tasting.
MugiNo way, that is a tasting paradise. Crisp, fruity, hoppy, and spice-driven all in one lineup? I would absolutely chase this all the way to Fujiyoshida.
Hop BroAnd once you drink it in that post-Risshu air, it really feels like the first sip of autumn. Just imagining it makes me want to start with the pilsner right away.
MugiThat settles it, I want a glass now. I am starting with Ichigome Pilsner, moving to Mango Sour Ale, and finishing with Jalapeno Saison or Spice Ale for a proper autumn cheers.
