Hop BroThe Wolfbrau in Naha's Shuri district is setting up shop. From May 2 through 4, they're bringing seven beers to the "Champuru Festival" at Saion Square.
MugiWhat, seven beers!? If I try them side by side, won't my memory capacity get completely champuru-ed first?
Hop BroThe core lineup is Hefeweizen, Alt, and Shuri no Kaze. I like that they keep the classic German styles in place while still showing the brewery's face.
MugiHuh! But Hefeweizen sounds like a spell, doesn't it? I can tell it's supposed to be fluffy, but what even is it?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a pale beer with the soft character of wheat. It tends to have banana-like aromas and lively yeast-derived notes, and the mouthfeel is gentle.
MugiI see! Then does Alt mean higher alcohol? Just from the name, it feels like some kind of powerful ultimate weapon.
Hop BroThat's the trick, isn't it? Alt is a reddish-brown top-fermented beer. Its appeal is the balance between toasty flavor and a clean finish, and at Wolfbrau it has a calmness that suits the Shuri atmosphere.
MugiWhoa! Then Shuri Lager and Keller are interesting too! A long-awaited comeback is the kind of thing that gets me hyped like my favorite act returning.
Hop BroExactly. Starting with the crispness of the lager styles and then leaning a bit richer with the Weizenbock is one way to go. Finishing with Mango Lager changes the expression nicely, and the festival flow will line up beautifully.
MugiWow, taking beer from Shuri out into the city is so cool! If they're lining up everything from staples to fruit beer, I'll start off polite, but by the end I'll definitely want to drink properly.

Bringing beer grown in Shuri out into the city from Shuri itself is a setup that clearly reflects the character of this shop.
On festival day, it should be enjoyable to start with the classic Hefeweizen or Alt to get a feel for the brewery's core identity, then move on to Shuri Lager or Keller, and finish by shifting the mood a bit with Mango Lager.
