Tamamura Honten lists Shiga Kogen Beer’s VSOW WHEAT WINE 330ml
Tamamura Honten’s online store is featuring Shiga Kogen Beer’s “VSOW WHEAT WINE 330ml [Product No. 479].” The product page shows it as sold out, while an official brewery blog describes it as a long-aged Cognac-barrel wheat wine.
Hop BroTamamura Honten just listed VSOW WHEAT WINE online, and this one is worth talking about. It is a serious standout from Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhoa, that name already sounds intense! Is this a Shiga Kogen release people are buzzing about?
Hop BroMore like a long-awaited return. Their blog describes it as the second wheat wine batch, which makes it extra exciting.
MugiHold on, what is wheat wine? It is beer, not wine, right? That name is trying to trick me!
Hop BroThat is the key part. Think of it as a rich wheat-heavy beer with a big body and a slow-sipping, wine-like feel.
MugiOhhh! And the article says it was aged in cognac barrels, which suddenly makes it sound very grown-up.
Hop BroExactly, and not for a short time either. It spent 1.6 to 2.9 years aging, so the barrel character had real time to sink in.
MugiWhat kind of power level is that? It is a 330ml bottle, but it sounds packed with flavor.
Hop BroAnd the Tamamura Honten store already shows sold out already on the page. For a beer this distinctive, that makes perfect sense.
MugiNow I want it even more! A bottle with barrel-aged wheat intensity sounds like something I would absolutely hunt down.
Hop BroSame here. If I ever spot a slow-sipping special like this from Tamamura Honten, I am pouring it immediately.
