Hop BroThe Brasserie Knot MITSU introduced by Susukino Ale STAND is a beer where you can really see the character of ingredients from Makubetsu, Tokachi.
MugiHuh, a dark beer with honey sounds like a sweet dessert or something!?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The style is a Honey Porter, and with ABV 6.0% and IBU 32, it's not just sweet, it also has real body.
MugiThere it is again, IBU! That's the bitterness number, right? This is suddenly starting to feel like science class!
Hop BroExactly, it's a rough guide to bitterness. MITSU is built on the toasty character of roasted malt, and then the soft aroma of honey gently rides on top of that.
MugiOhh! So because it's not just sweet, even people who don't usually like dark beer might be able to enjoy it!
Hop BroThat's right. And Susukino Ale STAND is a beer pub you can drop into casually at COCONO SUSUKINO B1F, like the entrance to Susukino.
MugiIf they have snacks too, that's perfect! Beer you can enjoy with food is exactly the kind of place that makes you stay a while!
Hop BroWhat I like is how it connects local ingredients. By using honey from Naruse Beekeeping Farm, it becomes not just a dark beer, but a drink with a background that's delicious too.
MugiDecision made! Now I really feel like I want to drink slowly in Sapporo right away!
Hop BroThen next time, let's actually go and take our time enjoying MITSU's softly fragrant pour.
