Shizuoka’s mayu highlights two Father’s Day guest beers
In a June 8 Instagram post, beer pub mayu in Shizuoka’s Aoi Ward spotlighted two Father’s Day-themed guest beers: Shonan Beer’s Father’s Day Beer and Minoh Beer’s Papa Zaru Lager. The pair offers two clearly different drinking styles, from crisp and aromatic to malty and dark.
Hop BroAt mayu in Shizuoka, they lined up two guest beers for Father’s Day. One is from Shonan Beer and the other from Minoh Beer, and they go in totally different directions.
MugiWhat! Craft beer for Father’s Day is such a good move. And Shonan and Minoh already sound like a serious lineup!
Hop BroThe first one is Kumazawa Shuzo’s Father’s Day Beer. It has a white-flower hop aroma and a crisp, refreshing finish, so it feels perfect for a first glass.
MugiA white-flower aroma sounds fancy, but what is hop aroma exactly? My brain is just picturing a very elegant salad.
Hop BroThat image is chaotic. Hop aroma is basically the floral or citrus note in beer, so hops can bring fragrance, not just bitterness.
MugiOhhh, so the Shonan one is light and aromatic. That sounds dangerously easy to drink before you even gift it to anyone.
Hop BroThen there’s Minoh Beer’s Papazaru Lager. It’s dark brown, with biscuit-like malt toastiness, gentle grain sweetness, and a calm noble-hop aroma.
MugiHold on, now it sounds like dessert in a glass. Also, what is malt? Beer people really love dropping mystery words.
Hop BroMalt is basically the source of grain richness in beer. Since this is a lager style fermented and matured slowly at low temperature, it comes out clean and composed.
MugiOkay, I get it now. Shonan is bright and lively, while Minoh is deeper and calmer. That makes a perfect Father’s Day flight.
Hop BroExactly. At a place like mayu, you can really feel the contrast in aroma and color, which makes the whole seasonal lineup more fun to talk through.
MugiI’m sold. I want the Shonan first, then the Minoh nice and slow. This is making me want a pint right now.
Shizuoka beer pub mayu, located on the second floor of the Iris Building in Ninemachi, Aoi Ward, introduced a pair of Father’s Day guest beers in an Instagram post dated June 8. As a neighborhood spot for craft beer in central Shizuoka, it is the kind of venue where seasonal arrivals can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
The first beer featured was Shonan Beer’s Father’s Day Beer from Kumazawa Brewery. The post describes it as having a hop aroma reminiscent of white flowers, along with a sharp, refreshing flavor and easy drinkability. It looks like a beer that works well as an opening pint, while also fitting naturally into a Father’s Day toast.
The second beer was Minoh Beer’s Papa Zaru Lager. This one is presented as a dark brown lager with biscuit-like malt character, gentle grain sweetness, and an aromatic layer of noble hops. The brewery notes a clean drinking finish created through slow low-temperature fermentation and maturation, making it a good choice for drinkers who prefer calm, understated depth over flashiness.
Together, the two beers offer a contrast in color, aroma, and flavor. At a beer pub like mayu, lining them up side by side gives drinkers a straightforward way to enjoy the season’s guest beer selection and compare two different approaches to a Father’s Day release.
