Hop BroAt KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, Shizuoka Brewing's HONEY BOCK is on tap. This is not just any lager, but the kind of beer you want to take your time with.
MugiWait, a honey bock? What is that! Is it sweet? Beer with honey sounds kind of like a dessert.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The style is Maibock with Honey. A Maibock is a lager with a substantial malt body, often enjoyed in early spring, and here they layer in the softness of honey.
MugiMaibock sounds suddenly so complicated! Does malt depth really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt does, quite a lot. This one is all about a rich, deep, layered body, so rather than something light and chug-friendly, it's the kind of beer you drink while feeling the body of it.
MugiOhhh, so instead of hitting you with a huge aroma, it's more like quietly delicious. That feels kind of grown-up.
Hop BroExactly. And it's 6% ABV. Not too strong, not too weak, so it holds up with food, and as it warms a little, the malt sweetness starts to show through.
MugiWhoa, that's perfect! If the temperature change is part of the fun, then the first sip and the last sip could feel totally different!
Hop BroExactly. In a place like KEG-NAGOYA, where the food is made with fermentation in mind, the enjoyment of drinking slowly alongside a meal really grows.
MugiNow I want to go drink Shizuoka Brewing's HONEY BOCK right away! I'd love to order some snacks and savor it at my own pace!
Hop BroThat's the idea. When a bock like this is around, it makes you want to think carefully about the first beer, not the next one. At this point, there is really nothing else to do but go out for a drink.
