Hop BroAt BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo in Ibaraki, Osaka, Baeren's limited "Mai Bock" is scheduled to be tapped today.
MugiWhoa! Just the name "Mai Bock" sounds kind of intense, doesn't it?
Hop BroGood eye. It's a 7.0% bock from Baeren Brewery, a German-style lager that gets its rich flavor from long maturation.
MugiI get lager, but what's so great about a German-style lager?
Hop BroBasically, it's the kind you can drink cleanly, while still getting deep malt flavor. Because it has a rich, full-bodied taste, it's suited to slow, thoughtful sipping.
MugiI see! And now SORACHI 1984 is coming too, which makes me seriously curious!
Hop BroExactly. It's a pilsner from SAPPORO BEER with the aroma of Sorachi hops, and what's interesting is the character it brings even within that crisp style.
MugiReally? I thought pilsners were kind of plain, but the aromatic character can change them that much!
Hop BroThat's right. And since the lineup runs from lagers to IPAs, you can compare everything from Hoppukotan's IPA to Ise Kadoya's West Coast-style beers.
MugiWow, a night of tasting side by side while listening to music sounds amazing. Tonight I want to settle in with the bock, and next time go for the pilsner and drink it down!
