Hop BroAt Brewery and Cheese Ino Chujiro Shoten in Sawara, Chiba, the collaboration "Coffee Ale" with One and Only Cafe has been released. What’s interesting is that it brings out the coffee aroma while still keeping it properly beer-like.
MugiWait, coffee but beer? I can’t even picture what that tastes like!
Hop BroThat’s the point. This time it’s coffee on the nose, but the drinking experience stays firmly beer. They steeped coffee beans in it to transfer the aroma, so the bitterness doesn’t just take over.
MugiWhat!? When you say steeped in it, do you mean they leave it sitting in the beer like tea?
Hop BroExactly, that’s pretty much the idea. They use beans roasted in Sawara and slowly bring out the notes of fragrant coffee beans.
MugiOhh! Then it sounds easy to drink even for coffee lovers, and like it would be perfect for hot weather!
Hop BroExactly. And since it’s a guest beer, it has that special feel that’s different from the usual lineup. It should really appeal to people looking for something new.
MugiAnd you can buy it in the shop and online? That’s such a relief if you can’t make it to Sawara!
Hop BroThe shop is at 1894-3 Sawara I, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, it’s closed on Wednesdays, and the hours are 11:00-20:00. It’s nice to stop by while walking around town and pair it with cheese.
MugiWow, drinking it with cheese sounds like it would be amazing! I want to sip it slowly and enjoy the aroma!
Hop BroRight? It’s a beer you can enjoy on its own or with food, and now I’m itching to pour a glass myself.
MugiThen it’s unanimous: I want Coffee Ale today! I want to taste a little of Sawara’s atmosphere too!
