Hop BroAt Half Yard Shiki in Shiki, SHIKI BEER's Verte has been tapped. It's a South Belgian-style grisette, and it's just right for hot days.
MugiWait, what's a grisette? It sounds like a spell, but hearing it originated in southern Belgium somehow makes it feel classy!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a light, dry beer that was also said to have been drunk by people working in coal mines. Verte keeps the acidity restrained, which makes it nice and crisp.
MugiIf the acidity is restrained, doesn't that make the flavor feel bland? But if it goes down easily, even a beginner like me could handle it!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the hop aroma sits on top with a gentle lift, so the beer gets definition from its refreshing hop aroma. It's light, but it doesn't feel thin, and that's what makes it such a good summer balance.
MugiOhhh, so it's perfect for muggy days. Drinking it on a day when you've worked up a sweat in a Saitama summer sounds incredibly relieving!
Hop BroExactly. Half Yard Shiki is a beer pub on the 3rd floor of the Hayashi Building in Honcho, Shiki City, and it's the kind of place that welcomes you for anything from one drink to a long, relaxed session. They also have food and whiskey, so it's easy to drop in on a whim.
MugiSeriously, that's so convenient! And if they're listing it as today's beer, then it's definitely the one I want to drink right now. Taking reservations by phone or DM is nice too!
Hop BroOn top of that, Verte leans low in alcohol, so it's easy to enjoy while still having plenty of character. It's the kind of beer that's approachable both for craft beer fans and for people who are just starting to explore.
MugiAlright, now I'm in the mood to have a drink in Shiki today! If it's a crisp, easy-drinking grisette, I feel like I could stay smiling to the very end!
