Hop BroI want to talk about AOI BREWING(BEER GARAGE) in Shizuoka pouring Shonan Gold on tap right now.
MugiWhat! A Shonan Gold beer sounds like somebody tossed oranges straight into a pint!
Hop BroPretty close. It is a special fruit beer from Sankt Gallen made with Shonan Gold oranges, and this version uses more fruit than usual, so it drinks extra juicy.
MugiWhat does peel-derived bitterness even mean? That phrase suddenly sounds like a chemistry class!
Hop BroIt is simpler than it sounds. Think of a light orange-peel bitterness that tightens the finish so the beer stays bright instead of turning sugary and heavy.
MugiOhh, so it is not just like orange juice in disguise. It still keeps a proper beer side to it!
Hop BroExactly. And BEER GARAGE serves beer directly after brewing from its attached brewery and other producers, so the fresh-on-tap appeal is a big part of the draw.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. Then I saw the food list and 100% beef cheeseburger hit me like a plot twist!
Hop BroWith the citrus-forward Shonan Gold, that burger works great, and on weekends and holidays daytime drinking is available, which is honestly ideal for this kind of pour.
MugiThat settles it. If I am hunting guest beer in Shizuoka, this pairing wins, and now I really want a glass of Shonan Gold.
