Hop BroToday’s topic is Nomcraft Juso Taproom unveiling its first collab Mexican lager, and that is a strong start.
MugiWhat! A first collab beer already has me curious, and the words Mexican lager instantly put me in summer mode!
Hop BroThe team-up is Los Elegantes Osaka with Nomcraft Brewing, and the star is a blue corn lager. That choice is seriously cool.
MugiWait, what is blue corn exactly? Blue corn sounds like it could bench-press me!
Hop BroIt’s a native bluish-purple corn variety. They’re using corn from dontilla.jp, so you also get the ingredient’s backstory in the experience.
MugiNo way, so it’s not just unusual for the sake of it. It already has a story in the glass!
Hop BroAnd they’re serving carne asada tacos with it. The tortillas use the same blue corn, plus cilantro, pickled red onion, salsa verde, and pico de gallo.
MugiSeriously, they went that far? That’s not side food anymore, the tacos are co-stars!
Hop BroExactly. Instead of treating beer and food separately, they built a clear pairing concept from the start, and that’s the smart part.
MugiBut hang on, you keep talking about beer with food. What is food-friendly beer? There goes the Hop Bro jargon again!
Hop BroIt just means a beer that gets even better with a meal. The event runs on Saturday, June 27 from 3:00 to 10:00 PM, so there’s plenty of time to settle in.
MugiThat sounds perfect! I’ll have lager in one hand, tacos in the other, and we’re making a straight run to Juso!
Hop BroThat’s the plan. Chasing the toasty blue corn notes with the taco’s grilled beef sounds like the ultimate pairing, and now I want a pint badly.
