At Baird Bashamichi, 10 beers including a spring fruit ale are on tap, with Real Ale also available
Baird Beer Bashamichi Taproom updated its Seasonal Beer information on March 21. Centered on a spring-style fruit ale, the lineup offers a wide range that also includes stout, barley wine, and Real Ale all at once. It is a setup that should pair well with a beer after cherry blossom viewing.
Hop BroThe Baird Beer Bashamichi Taproom in Bashamichi updated on March 21, and the spring casks are looking really full. Centering on fruit ales, it has a great seasonal feel.
MugiWhat! Even though it is centered on fruit ales, they have stouts and barley wine too? It is so fun to see such different personalities lined up in one place!
Hop BroExactly, and the star is `Saison Sayuri`, which uses kumquat and yuzu, plus lime. A saison is a beer style that is generally crisp and aromatic.
MugiWhat is that! I thought saison meant a seasonal limited release, but it is actually a beer style. And kumquat, lime, and yuzu? It is basically a fruit-orchard party!
Hop BroThe lineup is interesting too, with `Japan Tale Ale`, `Temple Garden Yuzu Ale`, `Second Strike Apple Ale`, and even `Zamamoro! Ale`. Add `Morning Coffee Stout` and `Dark Sky Imperial Stout`, and you can go back and forth between sweetness and roast character.
MugiI see! So you start with bright fruitiness, then move into heavy dark beer later. Tasting side by side really tells a story like that!
Hop BroAnd there is also `Ganko Oyaji Barley Wine`, plus the Real Ales `BT15th Smoked Porter` and `Luck of the Irish Red Ale`, so the high-alcohol end is well covered. Real Ale is unfiltered and unpasteurized, so it tends to have a fresh, cask-like flavor.
MugiWait, I thought "real ale" meant something like "real beer"! So it means it is super fresh and the cask character comes through more easily.
Hop BroExactly. And because the Bashamichi Taproom can be enjoyed with BBQ and American food, "a beer after cherry blossom viewing" really fits. It is a strong destination for springtime drinking outdoors.
MugiI want to go already! If I snack on BBQ while doing a spring tasting, I will definitely be happy. Today, I want to start with `Saison Sayuri`!
