Bread Ale Brewery Announces Porter Version of "Bread Ale"
Bread Ale Brewery in Chofu, Tokyo, has unveiled a new porter called "Bread Ale" on Instagram. The brewery is attached to Bakery Komuginohoshi Sengawa, and it continues to pursue bread-based brewing.
Hop BroChofu's Bread Ale Brewery has released a porter version of "Bread Ale." It's a small brewery attached to Bakery Komuginohoshi Sengawa, and it's interesting how it turns the power of bread into beer.
MugiWait, bread becomes beer!? Bread into beer sounds like such a delicious idea!
Hop BroExactly. The idea is to make use of leftover bread and connect that to reducing food waste. What's more, they've recently started manufacturing at their own factory, so this isn't just hype; they're really building something solid as a craft. That's what makes it so exciting.
MugiOhh, but porter sounds like such a dark, strong name. What is it, something that makes you gain muscle when you drink it?
Hop BroIt won't build muscle, but it might boost the roasted aroma. Porter is one of the dark beer styles, and it tends to bring out the roasted character of malt and a slight caramel-like sweetness.
MugiI see. So this Bread Ale Porter is kind of a blend of bready aroma and roasted character?
Hop BroThat's pretty close. On Untappd, it's listed with ABV 5.5% and the style `Porter - Other`, so rather than a straight traditional porter, it feels like a beer with Bread Ale's own personality layered in.
MugiWhoa, calling it `Other` suddenly makes it feel like a science fair project! So it's a slightly offbeat porter!
Hop BroExactly. A beer born from a bakery is already strong on its own, but adding porter makes the concept even clearer, and the local Chofu identity really comes through.
MugiWow, this is definitely a next drink candidate. If I drink a dark beer while imagining the smell of bread, my brain might just overflow with happiness!
Hop BroExactly. It's also an interesting effort to expand the connection between bread and beer in Chofu, and this is definitely one of those beers that makes you think, I want to drink it right now.
