MugiHop use sounds kind of hard to understand, but... is it like designing the aroma? It’s sneaky how you go from fuzzy talk to sounding super professional.
Hop BroBasically, yes. The way hops are used changes the aroma and bitterness. So even in a collaboration, it’s fun just imagining how the individual flavor character will come together.
MugiWhat? So this cross-border collaboration means the American breweries’ character is mixed in too, right? I’m seriously getting excited!
Hop BroExactly. Dogfish Head and Oxbow are both distinctive breweries, so teaming up with Shiga Kogen Beer should be really interesting. Including the strong sense of limited availability, it’s a bottle that really teases the imagination of anyone who drinks it.
MugiEven without detailed tasting notes, this is something I want to know about. I’m already in waiting-for-the-next-restock mode!
Hop BroIf it gets restocked, I’d want to take my time with it in a chilled glass. A bottle like this belongs on the tonight’s drink candidate list, because it lifts your mood too.
