Hop BroAt the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, something interesting showed up as a guest beer at Taru Taru. It's OHLOY BREWING's "Luna," and the style is Dark Lager.
MugiWhoa, a dark beer that's easy to drink every day!? A dark beer you'd want to drink every day is basically praise turned up to eleven!
Hop BroExactly. The aim is a smooth drinking experience. It tones down the sharp acidity typical of dark beer and pushes the flavor toward something more mellow.
MugiBut dark beer feels heavy, right? How do you make a dark beer that's easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's where Cold Steeping comes in. You cold-extract the malt in water the day before brewing, so you bring out the roastiness while softening off-flavors and strong acidity.
MugiMaking beer with a cold soak!? That's so unexpected, almost like tea! Cold-soaking the malt sounds kind of elegant, doesn't it?
Hop BroAnd the hops are notable too. They use Germany's Merkur and Czech Saaz to aim for a clean, herbal impression.
MugiOhh! So it's herbal without being too sharp. If it's clean and herbal, even dark-beer beginners could probably get into it!
Hop BroExactly. It has roast character, but it also has that lager-like lightness, so it's the kind of beer that makes you want to check the balance between roastiness and lightness.
MugiIt's great that you can drink it casually in Kawaramachi too! Meeting a guest beer like this at easygoing Taru Taru is the best!
Hop BroRight. If you're drinking this in Takamatsu, you'll want to savor that quiet depth slowly, and it makes you want to head straight for the cask.
MugiYeah, now I completely want one! Let's open a new door to dark beer with Luna tonight!
