Hop BroAt Restaurant Platts in Omachi, Akita City, BigHand Bros. Beer's "Andalusite" is coming in as a guest beer. And the fact that it's timed to the March 28 and 29 game days is a nice touch.
MugiWait, you mean it's being offered on game day!? Drinking it before watching would totally crank up the cheering mood!
Hop BroExactly. And "Andalusite" won a World Beer Cup gold award. It's a high-caliber beer from a brewery in Nishijin, Kyoto.
MugiOhh, but what is Best Bitter? The name alone makes it sound pretty bitter, so I'm a little braced for it!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: the bitterness isn't overpowering, and the malt sweetness is the real star. The toasted aroma and gentle sweetness come first, then just enough bitterness gives it shape.
MugiI get it, so that's what gentle bitterness means! Hop bro's explanation suddenly makes it look less like a drink and more like a landscape.
Hop BroWhat's more, the English hops give off a floral aroma that just floats up lightly. It's not the kind that hits you hard; it smells elegant and unfolds gradually.
MugiWait, so it's a beer you enjoy slowly! Drinking it a little warmer sounds kind of classy. I'm jealous~
Hop BroExactly. With an ABV of 4.2%, it's calm enough to sip leisurely before or after the game. Rather than gulping it down in a rush, it's a beer whose contours you should appreciate.
MugiAnd if it's also being served at the Akura booth, then being able to enjoy it at the venue is amazing! At this point, I think I have to drink it while cheering.
Hop BroIf it sells out, that's it, so if you're interested, sooner is better. How about a drink at Platts as the perfect sidekick for watching the game?
MugiYeah, today it feels like a beer you just want to drink! I want to warm up my cheering with Andalusite!
