Hop BroThe Old Grey Brewery in Shiraoi is resuming sales of the Poroto no Tsuki 350ml can starting May 29. It sold so well that it had temporarily gone out of stock, so it's welcome news for everyone who was waiting.
MugiWhat, it was out of stock and now it's back? It must have been that popular! And the name already sounds so romantic that it almost feels like a win before even drinking it!
Hop BroThis one is an IPL style beer. India Pale Lager means you get the crispness of a lager with hop bitterness on top, so it's refreshing but still has presence.
MugiIPL? So it's a lager that's bitter? It sounds like it can't decide what it wants to be, but actually it's a super greedy beer!
Hop BroExactly. If you break it down properly, it's a beer designed to balance crispness and bitterness. It's made so you won't get tired of drinking it, the kind of beer you could keep going with for multiple rounds.
MugiAnd the color is white gold? That sounds fancy! They say it's inspired by the moon floating on Lake Poroto in Shiraoi, and that's so moving!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The name is tied to the local landscape, so it feels like you're drinking not just the flavor but Shiraoi's scenery too.
MugiWait, a beer that gives you scenery too!? Then when I drink it, I might feel like I'm moon viewing. I could probably get tipsy just from the atmosphere, even without snacks!
Hop BroWhat's more, The Old Grey Brewery's policy is to age it for at least 60 days before releasing it. They're also particular about natural carbonation, and not rushing the final stage is very much their style.
MugiWow, you can really tell it's made with care. If I can buy it through the official online store, I want to click purchase and enjoy a little Shiraoi feeling myself!
Hop BroIncluding the art labels and the gallery project, it really feels like a beer-and-culture pour. This is definitely the kind of beer I want to open slowly while imagining the landscape.
MugiYeah, let's toast tonight! I want to stare at a moonlike glass and take a big sip of something crisp!
