Tambaji Brewery's Terano South marks 9 years with its first Weizen
Terano South, the pub attached to Tambaji Brewery in Sasayama, Hyogo, marked its ninth anniversary on June 24. To commemorate the milestone, the brewery brewed its first Weizen, signaling a step toward its 10th year.
Hop BroToday's topic is Terrano South's 9th anniversary. Tambaji Brewery marked it by brewing its very first Weizen.
MugiWait, their first Weizen after nine years? That somehow makes me even more curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Tambaji Brewery has been a small-scale brewery in Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo, since June 2017, carefully brewing in 400-liter batches.
MugiFour hundred liters sounds huge and tiny at the same time... what does a 400L batch even feel like? Am I supposed to picture a bathtub?
Hop BroThe bathtub image makes it less appetizing, but in craft terms it's a very hands-on scale. That kind of setup makes anniversary experiments easier to pull off.
MugiAlso, Weizen sounds intense. What is a Weizen? A special move? Some kind of German spell?
Hop BroNot a special move, just a southern German wheat beer. They've brewed Belgian White before, but this time the key is the soft wheat texture of a first-ever Weizen.
MugiOhhh, so even wheat beers can go in different directions. That means at Terrano South I'd totally want to taste them side by side!
Hop BroExactly. The attached pub serves house beers and guest beers on up to six taps, with food to match, so it's easy to imagine that anniversary pint hitting perfectly.
MugiA ninth anniversary with a new step forward is kind of lovely. Before year ten, I want to drink this challenge in a glass.
Hop BroThat balance feels very Tambaji Brewery to me. Rooted in the local scene, but still willing to push ahead. This milestone Weizen is a very solid reason to go.
MugiThen it's settled. Just imagining that gentle wheat character makes me want to raise a glass right now!
Tambaji Brewery is a small-scale brewery that opened in June 2017 in what was then Sasayama City, Hyogo, with a brew length of 400 liters per batch. At the adjoining pub, Terano South, guests can enjoy house beers and guest beers on up to six taps, along with food designed to pair with beer.
In the anniversary post, the brewery first expressed gratitude for reaching nine years in business on June 24. It then revealed that a Weizen had been brewed as the ninth-anniversary beer. Tambaji has brewed Belgian White as a wheat beer before, but this is its first attempt at a Weizen. For beer fans, the style choice is notable: it should bring the soft, wheat-driven character that defines the style, but the final balance will be the real point of interest.
Choosing a style the brewery had never made before is a fitting move for a milestone release. It reflects a brewery that keeps refining its regular lineup while still making room for new ideas. As Terano South heads toward its 10th anniversary, the milestone underscores both its role as a local beer bar in Sasayama and the brewery's continuing experimentation.
