GROUNDTAP LAGER at GROUNDTAP BREWERY, a glass that brings out aroma and bitterness
A post was published from GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, conveying the appeal of GROUNDTAP LAGER. Made with rice grown in Saijo, it is designed with a clean, dry body that vividly highlights its aroma and bitterness.
Hop BroToday, I want to introduce a beer full of local character from GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture.
MugiWow! Saijo is that place with the beautiful water, right? Beer made with the spring water of Uchinuki already sounds guaranteed to be delicious!
Hop BroExactly, and the star is GROUNDTAP LAGER. It uses rice from Saijo and is finished to be clean and dry.
MugiClean and dry sounds kind of like that feeling after a bath, but what does it mean for beer?
Hop BroPut simply, it's designed not to leave any unnecessary sweetness behind, and to give the finish a crisp cut. That makes the aroma and bitterness stand out more.
MugiI see! So it doesn't just taste bitter, but the rice also adds a gentle nuance?
Hop BroThat's right. The hop impression comes through, but the base stays light, and that leads to the crispness that feels so much like a lager.
MugiAnd you can drink it in a taproom attached to the brewery too. A beer while looking at the brewing equipment sounds like a fun extension of a factory tour!
Hop BroThat place is all standing, and with 6 to 8 beers always on tap plus light snacks, it's easy to try different food pairings too.
MugiIf it goes with Japanese food and fried dishes too, I want one right now! A lager made with local water and rice is definitely a second-round order!
Hop BroYeah, a beer like this instantly tells you about the place it's from. Today, I just want to raise a glass with GROUNDTAP LAGER.
GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, is a brewery that brews beer in a place where the famous spring water “Uchinuki,” selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Waters, lives on. Its taproom, attached to the brewery, is an all-standing space where you can enjoy the view of the brewing equipment while drinking, and it always has 6 to 8 kinds of beer along with light snacks.
The one that stands out in this post is GROUNDTAP LAGER. By using rice grown in Saijo and finishing it with a clean, dry drinking character, this beer sharply brings out the contours of its aroma and bitterness. With a GROUNDTAP-style design that combines local water and rice, it reveals gentle nuances derived from the ingredients within the crisp finish typical of a lager.
Known as one of GROUNDTAP BREWERY's standard beers, it is also appealing because it pairs easily with food. Light yet not merely thin, it has a balanced character that seems to go well not only with Japanese dishes, but also with fried foods and salty snacks. The phrase in the post about bringing out “aroma and bitterness” neatly conveys a recipe that pushes the hop impression forward while using rice to shape the body.
GROUNDTAP BREWERY distills the character of Saijo into every glass. Being able to enjoy a lager with this kind of local character in a taproom where you can watch the brewery at work is something unique to this brewery. Local water, local rice, and a clean drinking finish. That combination clearly conveys the appeal of GROUNDTAP LAGER.
