Hop BroOyoroko Brewery in Nagoya is on a roll right now, with its crowdfunding at 96% and the campaign running until August 31.
MugiWhat! 96% is basically there already! So what is this campaign making?
Hop BroThe star of it is Un Tomato & Jasmine Ale, an ale made with tomatoes grown by people with disabilities, and brewing has already started.
MugiWait, tomato beer? Are we entering the world of drinking salad from a pint glass!?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. The tomato is used as an adjunct ingredient, so it’s not turning into gazpacho; it adds depth in aroma and acidity.
MugiAn adjunct!? That’s full brewery jargon out of nowhere! So it means a flavor sidekick added to the usual malt and hops?
Hop BroExactly, a flavor sidekick. And with jasmine layered in, I’d expect it to lean bright and elegant rather than too green or vegetal.
MugiWow, and it’s not just tasty either. Fifteen percent back goes to employment support facilities, which makes this feel genuinely meaningful.
Hop BroAnd this is already their third crowdfunding run. Oyoroko Brewery really seems serious about using one beer to connect people, work, and smiles.
MugiAt this point my urge to drink it is fermenting faster than the beer! I want to support it before August 31 and toast when it’s ready.
Hop BroSame here. A beer linking community, welfare, and farming already feels meaningful before the first sip, and now I really want to try it.
