Hop BroAt Yamorido in Fushimi, Kyoto, Swan Lake Beer’s collaboration cask "Album" is generating buzz. Just from the Instagram post, it already gives off the feeling of “this is the one I want to drink.”
MugiWhat! Just hearing collaboration cask gets me excited, and you can drink it at Yamorido? That’s basically the kind of thing that makes me run to the bar!
Hop BroAnd what’s more, this is a joint creation by four female brewers from Yamorido, HEIWA CRAFT, karuizawaQ, and Swan Lake Beer. Just from the lineup of makers, the story is already rich.
MugiWhoa, but what is Altbier? Somehow “ALT” suddenly sounds like a science class, and my head is full of foam!
Hop BroALT is a top-fermented beer from Germany, and its signature is a calm malt character. This time, the theme is Altbier from Düsseldorf, and rather than going for flashy aroma, the recipe is designed to show off its outlines cleanly.
MugiI see, so it’s more about easy drinking than flashiness. There are beers that are strong because they don’t make a big statement... so grown-up!
Hop BroExactly. And the malt is Weyermann-made only, while the hops are Hallertauer Mittelfrueh and Spalter Select in the form of WET HOP. Even the origin of the ingredients leans heavily German, so it’s a very coherent beer.
MugiWait, even the hops are WET HOP? What is that! It sounds so freshly harvested and delicious, I can’t handle it!
Hop BroRight, because they use fresh hops before drying, the aroma comes through very vividly. This time, the key is that it doesn’t hit you with aroma so much as it sets up the Altbier character with an aroma that doesn’t overstate itself.
MugiDrinking it in a place like Fushimi's Yamorido sounds like it would pour in memories of travel along with the beer. This is what makes something taste good beyond the specs, right?
Hop BroExactly, and it’s 5% ABV, IBU 33. It’s not too bitter and not too light, so it pairs easily with food and is just the right glass for taking your time at Yamorido.
MugiAll right, then today’s conclusion is go drink Album! The calmness of Altbier and the story of the collaboration as a side dish are definitely going to make this one taste amazing!
Hop BroExactly. I’m getting the urge to have a drink in Fushimi too, and this is definitely the kind of beer you savor slowly while listening to the brewers’ stories.
