Hop BroAt Susukino Ale STAND, Shibetsu Samurai Brewery's Chou is back in stock. It's great to be able to встрет? No, let's keep clean: It's great to be able to 만나? Actually in English: It's great to be able to meet that one again at the B1F of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo.
MugiWhoa! Is it that popular that it sold out and came back? The name sounds cool too, and it feels like a strong beer!
Hop BroWhat's inside is a Wheat Ale, with an ABV of 5.0%. It uses "Haruyokoi" wheat from Shibetsu, Hokkaido, and the key point is its soft, gentle drinkability.
MugiWhen you say wheat ale, what changes when wheat is used? Does it taste bready, or get fluffy?
Hop BroExactly. To put it simply, the mouthfeel becomes gentler. The grain's softness comes through more easily, so instead of chugging it, you savor it slowly.
MugiOhhh! And Nelson Sauvin sounds like a fancy wine or something, doesn't it?
Hop BroNice catch. It has that white grape aroma typical of New Zealand hops, adding a fresh, airy brightness. Even with restrained bitterness, the flavor still has real depth.
MugiWow, it gets crisp when chilled, and when it warms up a little the sweetness comes out. It's like a beer that transforms!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. So at first you get that sharp, clean impression, and then as you go, you can look for the wheat's sweetness. It's like getting two kinds of enjoyment from one glass.
MugiAnd if takeout is OK and you can buy it on the e-commerce site too, then you can enjoy it after drinking in Susukino or just relax with it at home!
Hop BroIf you find this beer at a shop where you can drink from 10:00 a.m., you'll probably want a pint right away. Whether you drink it in Susukino today or open it slowly at home, either choice is the right one.
