MugiWhoa! Just from the name, it sounds delicious! Cherry & Berry already gives off full dessert vibes!
Hop BroIt’s from a brewery in Otaru, Hokkaido, and it uses blueberries and cherries from Yoichi.
MugiFrom Yoichi? That’s amazing! But what happens when you put the fruit’s natural sweet-tart flavor into beer?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. The softness of the ale overlaps with the fruitiness, giving it a refreshing drinking finish.
MugiI see! And this time it’s being served cold. Even though it used to be popular as a hot beer, now it’s going full chilled mode!
Hop BroExactly. It doesn’t get too sweet or heavy, and that makes it great as a dessert-like beer to finish the night.
MugiWait, so even people who don’t like beer could handle this!? If it’s fruit-forward, I might actually be able to try it!
Hop BroTsumugi has eight draft beers, and there’s also a tasting menu, so it’s easy to choose even if you’re new to craft beer.
MugiIt’s only one minute on foot from the west exit of Minami-Kashiwa Station? That’s perfect! If families can go on weekends, I want to stop by and compare a few beers!
Hop BroThen tonight, shall we go enjoy some Japanese craft beer casually?
MugiLet’s go! First, let’s toast with Cherry & Berry and melt into that fruit-forward pour!
A Newly Tapped Pour
The official Instagram of "2階のクラフトビール屋つむぎ" introduced Hokkaido Beer Brewing (Otaru, Hokkaido)’s "Craft Beer Cherry & Berry Ale". It is described as a beer made generously with blueberries and cherries from Yoichi, Hokkaido, where the natural sweet-tart character of the fruit blends with the beer’s refreshing finish.

With a taste that does not become overly sweet or heavy, it is presented as a beer you can enjoy like dessert at the end of a meal. Even people who are not fond of beer may find it easy to try, thanks to its fruity direction.
