Baeren Brewery to Ship Wild Grape Radler from Noda Village Starting May 27
Baeren Brewery (Morioka, Iwate) will ship its seasonal limited-edition "Wild Grape Radler," made with wild grape juice from Noda Village, Iwate, on or after May 27. It is a light 2.5% alcohol drink that layers the tartness and sweetness of wild grapes.
Hop BroToday, Baeren Brewery’s seasonal Wild Grape Radler is interesting. The key point is that it ships on or after May 27, and it uses wild grape juice from Noda Village, Iwate Prefecture.
MugiHuh, what’s a radler? Is it something like a beer-and-lemonade mix?
Hop BroExactly, it’s that refreshing style based on beer. This time they combine lemon juice and wild grape juice, and finish it with no flavorings.
MugiOh, I see! But wild grapes sound more acidic than regular grapes, don’t they?
Hop BroThat’s exactly the point. It’s light at 2.5% alcohol, but it combines the fresh acidity and gentle sweetness of wild grapes, giving it a low-alcohol treat feeling.
MugiThat sounds easy to drink! And a 330 ml bottle is a great size for trying it casually!
Hop BroThe category is happoshu, with a malt use ratio of 25% or more but less than 50%. The ingredients are wild grape juice, malt, sugars, lemon juice, and hops, so the design is all about the fruitiness taking center stage.
MugiWhen you hear "happoshu," you might brace yourself, but this is totally different! It really feels made for hot weather.
Hop BroPlus, Baeren is a brewery in Morioka that makes European-style beer using a brew kettle more than 100 years old. When a place like that does a limited-edition local-ingredient beer, it somehow feels especially convincing.
MugiWhen you hear it uses wild grapes from Noda Village, it already sounds like the local atmosphere is in there! It’s a bottle that really gives you Iwate’s character.
Hop BroIf you chill it and drink it with light appetizers or dishes with acidity, it’ll be great. This is definitely one of those I want to open it right now drinks.
MugiYeah, I’m totally in that mood today too! I want to go drink Wild Grape Radler together!
Seasonal item shipping from May 27 onward
