Chillaxin' Book Shop in Nakano taps Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen (Hakuhou Ver.)
Chillaxin' Book Shop in Arai, Nakano, has added Minoh Beer’s seasonal Peach Weizen (Hakuhou Ver.) as a guest beer. The post says it is the second release in the brewery’s annual peach weizen series and highlights its fresh peach aroma.
Hop BroToday's topic is Peach Weizen Hakuho ver. at Chillaxin' Book Shop in Nakano. It's Minoh Beer's annual second peach release, showing up as a guest beer.
MugiWait, beer at a bookstore? A used bookstore and beer pub sounds like a device made to destroy my entire day off!
Hop BroExactly. Chillaxin' Book Shop, on Yakushi Ai Road, lets you drink with a book in hand. And getting a seasonal guest keg from Minoh Beer is such a good fit.
MugiBut if it's peach, is it basically sweet juice? Also, what is a weizen because my face just went completely blank.
Hop BroA weizen is a soft, smooth beer made with wheat malt. It also has a fermentation-derived ester aroma that can feel banana-like, which plays really well with peach.
MugiEster aroma? What is that, science class all of a sudden? So basically peach makes friends with the beer smell?
Hop BroThat's exactly it. And since this is the Hakuho version, it leans into that juicy character, with the post highlighting a fresh peach aroma as the big appeal.
MugiOooh! If it's the second annual release, people must wait for it every year. It really feels like drinking the season instead of just ordering a beer.
Hop BroThey're open from 12:00 to 21:00, so it's easy to drop in from afternoon to night. As a Nakano detour pint, this one is pretty hard to beat.
MugiFlipping through old books and taking a sip of peachy beer sounds ridiculous in the best way. I am stuck on I want this now and nothing else.
Hop BroThen next day off, it's books and peach weizen at Chillaxin' Book Shop. That's the kind of place where both your page-turning hand and your glass-holding hand stop working.
