THIS BREWING begins serving seasonal ume gose 'this gose w/ume'
Tokyo's THIS BREWING has started serving its seasonal ume gose, 'this gose w/ume'. Built on the gose style and brewed with green ume plums, the beer is presented as a fresh, gently aromatic release that reflects the brewery's 'here and now' philosophy.
Hop BroI can't stop thinking about the new release from Yushima's THIS BREWING. They've started pouring a seasonal ume gose called 'this gose w/ume.'
MugiWhat! That already sounds like summer. Is this gose w/ume sweet like plum wine?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Instead of leading with sweetness, it layers green ume over a salty tart balance that's classic gose.
MugiEvery time you say gose, my brain hears a five-part choir. So what is a gose style anyway?
Hop BroFair question. Gose is a bright, slightly sour style that uses a bit of salt, so the easiest way to remember it is savory refreshing beer.
MugiSalty and refreshing? That's a lot to process. Add plum and my mouth is hosting a summer festival committee.
Hop BroThat disaster is exactly what they avoided. They steeped green ume so it lands as a gentle aroma and crisp acidity, and it's only 4.5% ABV.
MugiOh, nice! That sounds super drinkable. And THIS BREWING is the kind of brewery that chases the here and now, not fixed flagship recipes, right?
Hop BroExactly. They keep changing the recipe with the season, and the taproom on a back street in Yushima has this drop-in ease that matches the beer perfectly.
MugiNow I want the whole experience: the green ume aroma, the bright acidity, and that little salty lift in a limited summer pour. We're getting one, right?
A seasonal gose brewed with green ume
On its official site, THIS BREWING describes its beers as `THIS = here and now`. Recipes change over time, and the brewery aims to create beers that fit small moments in everyday life. Its taproom sits on a side street in Tokyo's Yushima area and is designed as a place people can drop into casually.
In its Instagram post, the brewery says it has begun serving `this gose w/ume`, a seasonal ume gose. The beer takes the salt-driven character of the gose style and layers in green ume plums, with the post highlighting a gentle ume aroma and a bright, refreshing acidity. The ABV is listed at 4.5%.
That approach fits THIS BREWING well: no fixed core lineup, just beers that shift with the season. The Instagram post points to a beer that is light, crisp, and clearly tied to the moment rather than built for intensity.
