Mallika Brewing announces collaboration beer “Mallika103 Quiet Sparkle”
Mallika Brewing in Nagano City introduced its collaboration beer “Mallika103 Quiet Sparkle” with @squirrel_forest0311 on Instagram. The brewery describes it as a dry-hopped sour with white-grape notes and a sparkling-wine-like character, and says it is already on tap.
Hop BroHere’s the one that caught my eye: Mallika103 Quiet Sparkle from Mallika Brewing in Nagano. It’s a collab with @squirrel_forest0311, and the name already sounds dangerously drinkable.
MugiWait, the squirrel shop collab beer? That is absurdly cute. No way something with that nickname is playing small!
Hop BroCute name, serious beer. It’s a dry-hopped sour, so you get tartness first and then a layered hop aroma on top.
MugiWhat even is dry hopping? It sounds less like brewing and more like laundry on a balcony!
Hop BroIt means adding hops later so they boost aroma over bitterness. That’s why the white-grape vibe can really pop.
MugiOhhh! So white grape aromas in a beer is the point? That suddenly feels fancy enough to require better posture.
Hop BroExactly, and they describe it as sparkling wine-like too. The bright acidity and lively bubbles make the name Quiet Sparkle feel pretty spot-on.
MugiThat name is doing a lot of work! And if the keg is already on , that means people can drink it in the cafe right now? I feel personally left behind.
Hop BroYep. The place is near Zenkoji Omotesando and runs eight taps at all times. Dog-friendly, with Wi-Fi and power outlets too, so it’s dangerously easy to stay awhile.
MugiAnd with a packed event run from the August 1 Nagano Binzuru to the September festival, they really are everywhere. I want my first sip on site.
Hop BroSame here. Between the cafe pour and the festival stops, I’m fully at let’s toast with Quiet Sparkle. You are absolutely making the same face.
