Hop BroThe beer pub SQUIRREL FOREST in Nagano City announced 17 new arrivals on March 3, and the range is amazing, from lager to vintage bottles.
MugiWhoa! 17 new arrivals? I feel like I'd get happily lost before I even choose! Can you get both lager and vintage at the same shop?
Hop BroYou can. For example, Left Hand Brewing's `Milk Stout Nitro` or Trap Door Brewing's `Secret Handshake` and `Day Beer` give a really nice spread of styles.
MugiWhat is that! A nitro stout sounds like some kind of space machine... is it foamy?
Hop BroGood question. Nitro uses nitrogen in the pour, which makes the mouthfeel finer and smoother. Think of the sweet richness of a milk stout becoming even creamier through the foam.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to drink something like Barebottle Brewing's `Dark Cosmos` too; just from the name it sounds rich.
Hop BroExactly. And they even have Mikkeller's `Swedish Wash 2019`, `Big Worster`, and `Mikkeller×Boon Gout Américain`, so the bottle shelf is turning into something really fun.
MugiWait, they even have vintage bottles!? That's like being tested as a person by the question of whether to drink it today or save it for a special occasion!
Hop BroExactly. And they also have NOMCRAFT Brewing's `Nomcraft Lager` and `Whole New World`, plus Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing's `Minamiaizu IPA` and `BOKKER`, so there's fun in choosing according to the meal too.
MugiA lineup of lagers, IPAs, saisons, and even lambics? This is less a beer pub and more a beer amusement park! If it's near Nagano Station, it's easy to swing by, and I want to go now!
Hop BroAnd since you can follow the taps in-house with Now On Tap, it's easy to make today's encounter happen too. Which one are you going with today?
MugiI'll start with `Nomcraft Lager` and finish by sipping a vintage bottle! A night of tasting side by side is definitely going to be fun!
