MugiWhat! They made something to go with Kimama Craft Beer Stand's second anniversary?
Hop BroIt's called #047 Berrichon, pronounced Berishon. It's a Berliner Weisse with three kinds of berries and vanilla.
MugiBerliner Weisse? That sounds complicated again! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a refreshing sour style with a pleasant tartness. This one is 6.5% ABV and 9 IBU, so it's designed to go down light.
MugiIBU 9 is low! If it's not bitter, the berry sweetness and tartness should really stand out!
Hop BroExactly. And because the base has acidity from kettle souring, the crisp mouthfeel lets the fruit character sit on top beautifully.
MugiKettle souring? What is that, a spell? It sounds like something happening in a pot!
Hop BroIt's a method where lactobacillus is used in the kettle to build sourness first. Then three kinds of berries and vanilla are layered in, and Berrichon leaves a soft finish at the end.
MugiSo it's sour and sweet, then finishes with vanilla? That's almost unfair! And the name Berrichon comes from a sheep breed, which makes it even cuter!
Hop BroPecora Beer is a brewery in Asao Ward, Kawasaki, and its core is clean yet bold American-style beer. That foundation is there again this time, so even with all the flair, it should still finish with real structure.
MugiThen I want to raise a glass to Machida's anniversary right away! This is definitely a beer you want to drink!
