MugiWait, what's spelt wheat? That toasty ancient-wheat aroma already sounds too good!
Hop BroRight, spelt is an old-style wheat, so the grain character really comes through. That makes this ale all about the grain.
MugiHuh! But when you say grain character, it sounds like I'd be drinking a bakery... beer that tastes like bread?
Hop BroThat's actually pretty close. People are saying it has not only toastiness but also fruit-like nuances, and it really puts Quartet Brewing's wheat-driven personality front and center.
MugiThat's so interesting! And it's not just at the main shop either, right? Served at multiple locations is the good kind of news!
Hop BroIt's at Hop Frog Cafe in Nagano, Bistropub UTAKATA in Tokyo, and HONMACHI in Matsumoto, bien bien in Komagane, Grillmann in Nagoya, and the main shop. And before you go, it's important to check whether it's on tap.
MugiOn tap means it's connected as draft beer, right? That living keg feeling is exciting!
Hop BroExactly. Quartet Brewing cares about the balance of the four elements: malt, hops, yeast, and water, so this anniversary beer should be nicely put together too.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me thirsty... the sound of a Karuizawa anniversary brew makes me want to toast right now!
Hop BroStart with a light pour, then go in for a second glass to really check the flavor. At this point, we've already got a perfect reason to drink.
