Hop Bro】【A new "Ripe Strawberry Ale" has come out from Better life with upcycle in Ebina, Kanagawa! It's the second upcycled release using sorted-out strawberries.
MugiWait! Strawberries that were supposed to be thrown away turned into beer!? That's so eco-friendly and sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe style is "Strawberry Ale w/ Vanilla Beans, Hibiscus." The key point is that it uses more strawberries than the previous release, bringing the sweet flavor of fully ripe strawberries to the forefront.
MugiHold on!? I think of hibiscus as tea - you're putting it in beer? And what's with the suddenly stylish "w/" notation!
Hop BroGood catch. The hibiscus helps balance the acidity and color, while the vanilla beans add depth to the aroma. In short, it's a great supporting duo that makes strawberries the star.
MugiOhhh! Strawberries in the lead, vanilla and hibiscus as supporting actors! It's like a craft beer drama!
Hop BroThe specs are solid too, with ABV 6.0%, IBU 16, and 350 ml. The product page listed the price at 314 yen including tax. It should have a strong sweet aroma, but with restrained bitterness that makes it easy to drink.
Mugi314 yen is more affordable than I expected! ...Wait, what, sold out!? It's so popular it's over before the toast!
Hop BroIts parent is a bakery founded in 1923, and the brand also makes use of bread-derived ingredients. I really like that its philosophy of "sustainable cheers in everyday life" is clearly built into the recipe.
MugiLet's check for the next restock! Just imagining the aroma of ripe strawberries and the moderate acidity makes me want to drink it so badly! Hop bro, you're in charge of the restock alerts!
