MugiWhat! A beer from Nara showing up in Hiroshima has serious traveling beer energy.
Hop BroAnd this one is a 3% Micro Porter, which is a pretty fun concept. Low ABV, but still built to feel satisfying.
MugiWait, light but porter? That sounds like the sentence itself is arguing with me!
Hop BroPorter usually means dark and roasty, and this version trims it down into a low-ABV dark beer without losing the character.
MugiOhh, so it can be easy to drink but still keep that classic dark-beer vibe?
Hop BroExactly. It brings cacao and coffee notes, and the oat malt gives it a soft texture with a gentle touch of sweetness.
MugiOat malt? That suddenly sounds like homework, but basically it means a softer, smoother mouthfeel, right?
Hop BroRight, and Awa Store is a kakuuchi-style shop, so you can buy it and enjoy it on the spot. For guest taps like this, selling out fast is always a risk.
MugiNow I'm sold. Cool label, Nara Brewing, and that roasty profile? One glass before sellout sounds like the only correct plan.
