Hop BroAnd Beer Katsunuma Brewery has put out something interesting again. It's the second collaboration release, "AND TAMIRU TADESSE ~COFFEE ALE~," and this time it's a coffee ale.
MugiWait, coffee in beer!? A COFFEE ALE is the kind of drink that makes you wonder whether it's morning or night!
Hop BroThat's exactly the point. It uses Ethiopian beans called "Tamiru Tadesse Murago," roasted by Coffee Wrights in Kuramae, Tokyo, and layers in the fruity character of Ethiopian coffee.
MugiFruity? So coffee can taste kind of like fruit? Fruity aroma is making my brain do a double take!
Hop BroYeah, you can get a bright acidity and berry-like notes, especially with a lighter roast. The key is that they matched it with the beer's yeast-driven brightness so it doesn't clash with the yeast-derived brightness.
MugiSo they didn't just mix things together! And with 5.5% ABV, it sounds easy to drink, which is the dangerous kind...
Hop BroExactly. And this time they apparently strengthened the roast character compared with the previous batch, and even fine-tuned the grind size, extraction time, and number of extractions, so the design is really meticulous.
MugiWow, that sounds like a science experiment! Hearing that they even adjusted the number of extractions makes it feel like pure craftsman's dedication!
Hop BroThe sales rollout is solid too: it will be released sequentially at @andbeer_koenji, @olla_andbeer_asagaya, and @andbeer_yamanashi, and they are also offering keg sales through their business EC site, so you might even see it at restaurants.
MugiSo it's the kind of beer that hits both coffee lovers and beer lovers! I can't stop thinking I want to drink this right now, and I want to toast with it today!
And Beer Katsunuma Brewery announced the release of its new beer, "AND TAMIRU TADESSE ~COFFEE ALE~," on Instagram. The style is Coffee Ale, and the ABV is 5.5%.
The highlight this time is that it uses the Ethiopian coffee "Tamiru Tadesse Murago," roasted by Coffee Wrights in Kuramae, Tokyo. In the post, the brewery explains that the beer was designed to gently layer the character of specialty coffee with a fruity flavor profile. The goal was to emphasize the coffee's impression while harmonizing it with the yeast-derived brightness.
According to the post, this release is the second collaboration brew. Compared with the previous version, the base beer has been adjusted to bring out more roast character, and the grind size, extraction time, and number of extractions were all carefully tuned to highlight the coffee beans' qualities. Rather than simply adding coffee, the recipe shows a deeper approach to how the ingredients' character can be brought forward.
Sales will begin sequentially at And Beer locations. The post also announces releases at:
- `@andbeer_koenji`
- `@olla_andbeer_asagaya`
- `@andbeer_yamanashi`
