Hop BroIn Sapporo's Moyamoya Base, two kegs were switched out. This time, Otaru Beer's Helles and DD4D BREWING's Capybara Love were put on tap.
MugiHuh! The name Helles sounds cute, but the beer sounds serious!
Hop BroExactly. Helles is a German-style lager, and its hallmark is a clean, easy-drinking character. It's the type you want as a first pour, because it settles your palate nicely.
MugiWait, what was lager again? It's not some kind of happoshu-like category, right? My head is getting all Moyamoya with these terms!
Hop BroThat's important. Broadly speaking, lagers are brewed with a slow, cool fermentation, so they tend to have a clear, crisp finish. The vibe at Moyamoya Base may be hazy in name only - the flavor is pretty crisp.
MugiWhoa! So what kind of beer is the other one, Capybara Love? Just hearing 'capybara' makes it sound laid-back!
Hop BroIt's a label with the playful spirit DD4D BREWING is known for, and it's one you want to enjoy as a beer with personality. Helles welcomes you gently, and Capybara Love shifts the mood a bit - that's the pairing.
MugiBeing able to drink beers from Hokkaido and Ehime at the same place feels like traveling!
Hop BroThat's exactly the appeal of guest beer. Moyamoya Base is in Sapporo's Bus Center Mae area, and since it opens at 2 p.m., it's strong for daytime drinking even if you're out shopping.
MugiBeing able to drink from midday is the best! And if they say it's an encounter you can only have now, there's no reason not to go!
Hop BroRight. So today, let's start by settling our throats with Helles and then have fun with Capybara Love - let's go enjoy the moment the taps changed.
MugiI want to go! For my first beer in Sapporo, Helles, and for my second, Capybara Love - now I'm totally in the mood to drink today!
