AMATERASU Brewery launches Limerick stout in tap and can at 5.5% ABV
AMATERASU Brewery in Fujisawa, Kanagawa has introduced a new stout called Limerick, available on tap and in cans. The brewery says the 5.5% beer uses Guinness as a reference point, with stronger roasted aroma and bitterness but a rounded finish.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about the new stout Limerick from Amaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa, Kanagawa. The nice part is that it is available both on tap and in cans.
MugiWait, tap and can combo? So if I fall for it at the bar, I can keep the crush going at home too!
Hop BroExactly. It is a stout at 5.5% ABV, but the base flavor is solid enough that it still drinks with real presence.
MugiWhoa! But stouts can sometimes feel like the final boss of beer, so hearing full-bodied makes me brace myself a little...
Hop BroThat is what makes Limerick interesting. It nods to Guinness, turns up roasty aroma and bitterness, and still avoids leaving a heavy finish behind.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean? What is roasty aroma? Hop Bro just cast another brewer spell at me!
Hop BroThink coffee or toasted bread. It means the malt gives you that dark-beer toastiness instead of just blunt bitterness.
MugiOhh, so it is not just bitter, it smells delicious too. And if the finish stays rounded, even stout beginners could get into it!
Hop BroThe name Limerick is a nice touch too. It comes from an Irish city and hints at a slightly offset lineage from Dublin and Guinness.
MugiOkay, that really sells it. From a Fujisawa brewery, it sounds like an everyday stout with a little local soul. I want one after an Enoshima walk!
Hop BroExactly. One on tap after Enoshima, one can for later. Dark yet easygoing is a dangerous phrase in the best way for both stout fans and newcomers.
MugiThat settles it. I am fully in the mood to toast with Limerick tonight. This might flip my black-beer image in the best possible way!
AMATERASU Brewery, based in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, has announced a new stout called Limerick. The brewery’s post labels it as both a new tap and a new can release, so the beer is being offered in two formats. It comes in at 5.5% ABV.
The brewery describes Limerick as a dark beer with a strong sense of malt depth. While the recipe is built with Guinness in mind, the roasted aroma and bitterness have been pushed further. At the same time, the finish is said to avoid lingering harsh bitterness, giving the beer a more rounded impression. Even at 5.5% ABV, the base flavor is firm enough to deliver a satisfying drink.
The name Limerick comes from the Irish city of the same name. In the post, AMATERASU Brewery points to the city as being a little removed from Dublin, Guinness’s home base, framing the beer as a stout that sits within the same broad tradition but with its own distance and identity.
For a brewery rooted in Fujisawa and closely tied to the Enoshima area, this release adds another dark-style option to its lineup. Limerick looks like a stout for drinkers who want roast character and body without an overly heavy finish.
