Hop BroThe beer pub in Kitasenju, Beer Ma Kitasenju, introduced guest beers themed around red fruit, and it's pretty interesting.
MugiWhat! A red-fruit theme already sounds delicious from the look of it, but what beers are they pouring?
Hop BroThis time the stars are VERTERE / Viburnum and B.M.B Brewery / Ruby Tint. Both are sour styles, with the charm of the fruit really coming through.
MugiSo sour style doesn't just mean plain sour? Is it like a cute-but-sour kind of world?
Hop BroPretty close. Viburnum's key point is its lactic-acid-derived tartness, layered with the sweetness of boysenberry and white chocolate. What's nice is that it doesn't stop at just being sour.
MugiOh wow! So that's the kind of dessert-like flavor you're talking about. If I drank that after a meal, I'd basically win life!
Hop BroExactly. And Ruby Tint uses a generous amount of strawberry puree plus amaou soft-serve ice cream, so the strawberry character really comes to the front.
MugiWhat is that! Soft-serve included? It looks like beer, but it's like a dessert. My brain is working overtime!
Hop BroOn top of that, the shop is a 30-seat standing bar, so it's easy to pop in even alone. It's only about a two-minute walk from the west exit of Kitasenju Station, so it's great for a detour.
MugiAnd if they have more than 1,000 kinds lined up, I feel like I could be happy just deciding what to drink. If they have snacks too, there's no way I'm leaving!
Hop BroPairing it with salty nuts or chocolate sounds good too. As a stop for a fruit-forward sour beer tour, this is definitely one place to keep on the radar.
MugiYeah, I can't stop wanting to go right now and taste them side by side! Today, let's just toast with strawberries and berries already!
