Hop BroI’ve got a Kobe story today: Craft Beer Shop Triangle just announced its 4th anniversary Baltic porter.
MugiWhat! A celebratory beer and it’s dark? Plus it’s brewed by Open Air Brewing? That local tag team is strong!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a pairing between the Minatogawa beer pub and a Kobe brewery, and the style is a dark lager-inspired style called Baltic porter.
MugiWhat is that! The name sounds like a final boss! Does Baltic porter make your voice drop an octave?
Hop BroNo transformation scene, but it has roasted malt depth with lager-like crispness, so it doesn’t feel too heavy.
MugiHold on, roasted malt suddenly makes this sound like chemistry class. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIt’s malt kilned to bring out toastier character, which gives cocoa and caramel notes and leads to a smooth finish.
MugiOooh! So for a dark beer, it’s not just brute force; not heavy-handed actually sounds perfect.
Hop BroAnd it’s coming in both draft and cans, so you can try it at the pub or let it warm up slowly at home.
MugiThat’s unfair! This anniversary pour is already making me want to run to Kobe and drink it right now!
Hop BroThen it’s settled. If we sip it slowly, the cocoa and caramel notes should open up, and I’ll definitely want another round.

How to enjoy it
A Baltic Porter often reveals more of its malt character as it warms slightly. It is worth taking a moment to smell the glass first, then paying attention to the smooth texture and dry finish. Beyond the beer itself, the local connection between the shop and Open Air Brewing is part of what makes this release interesting.
