NORTH ISLAND's two seasonal Buntan beers tapped at CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI
At the beer pub CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI near Funabashi Station, two seasonal beers from NORTH ISLAND BEER have just been tapped. The lineup now includes "Buntan Lager" and "Buntan White," both brewed with buntan from Tosa City, and they’re being presented as two beers you’ll want on warmer days.
Hop BroToday, I’ve got a guest tap alert near Funabashi Station. Two seasonal beers from NORTH ISLAND BEER have been added at CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI.
MugiWhoa, Buntan Lager and Buntan White!? Buntan is that citrus, right? They made it into beer!?
Hop BroExactly. They’re made with buntan from Tosa City, with the lager as Fruit Lager and the white as Fruit White Ale. In other words, Tosa City’s buntan is the star.
MugiOhhh, what’s the difference between a lager and a white ale? I’m curious about the difference in mouthfeel!
Hop BroLagers tend to come out crisp, while white ales tend to have more wheat character and softness. Both of these are refreshing, easy-drinking beers, so they’re great for hot days.
MugiI see! But when I hear technical terms, my brain gets a little floaty... do you mean a bread-like feel?
Hop BroPretty close. Think of it as a gentle aroma and a round mouthfeel. And since CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI is on the second floor near the station, it’s also easy to stop by after work.
MugiThat’s dangerous - I can see myself getting pulled in on the way home! If I saw that on a day when the temperature’s going up, I’d already be locked into my first drink.
Hop BroAnd because it’s seasonal, even if you’re aiming for the regular lineup, you can run into something unexpected. I like that there’s real fun in comparing them.
MugiWith the citrus aroma of buntan and the chance to compare them side by side, that’s the best. We want to line up two glasses and toast right now!
