MugiWhoa, just hearing lemon and ginger sounds refreshing! But ginger in beer makes me imagine a little spicy kick.
Hop BroThe specs are ABV 5.5% / IBU 10, so it should be light-bodied with pretty restrained bitterness. You can already see the direction: easy to drink and goes down smoothly.
MugiIBU? What is that, some kind of spell? So it means a measure of bitterness?
Hop BroExactly. IBU is an indicator of bitterness. At 10, it's pretty gentle, so it's fair to say it's designed with drinkability first.
MugiAh, I see! So it feels like one of Omi Beer’s seasonal limited line beers, something a little special!
Hop BroAnd Omi Beer is a nanobrewery in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture. Because it's nimble, its strength is being able to roll out seasonal ingredients and limited brews whenever it wants.
MugiA nanobrewery sounds tiny just from the name, but that's impressive! And they release the month’s beer on the first Sunday of every month at Beer Sunday? That makes me want to keep going back!
Hop BroTheir headquarters and brewery are in Honkatata, Otsu City, and they also have OSANPO and the lab, so the local feel is strong. A limited brew rooted in this area is always exciting.
MugiWith lemon’s brightness and ginger’s accent, and especially as a beer for early spring, it makes me want to go drink it right now!
