Hop BroBanrinoharu Brewing in Tondabayashi has added stout to its cans. It means one of the brewery's staples since opening can now finally be enjoyed in canned form too.
MugiWait, stout is that dark beer, right? Just hearing roasted malt aroma makes it sound like coffee already!
Hop BroExactly, and that is what makes it interesting. It also brings out cacao and nut-like nuances. Banrinoharu Brewing's hallmark is its brewing with golden water, so the taste even carries a sense of the place itself.
MugiGolden water sounds amazing! Does it have gold dust in it? Calling it a blessing of groundwater makes it feel way too mystical!
Hop BroNot gold, but brewing that makes use of groundwater from the Kongo mountain range. Since the brewery is in Terauchi-cho, renovated from an old sake brewery, it pairs perfectly with the historic setting.
MugiOhhh. So what is the stout like to drink? Dry but satisfying sounds like it has body without being too heavy, right?
Hop BroExactly. With ABV 5% and IBU 20, the bitterness is gentle but it still has backbone. In other words, it has a balance you could come back to every day, and it's one of the flagship beers that has been popular since the brewery opened.
MugiI see. But what exactly is IBU? I heard it is a measure of bitterness, but seeing a number suddenly makes it feel like a science experiment!
Hop BroIBU is an index of beer bitterness, and 20 is on the relatively mild side. This can lineup makes it easy to enjoy at home, and the nice thing is that you can casually enjoy it in cans and still experience Banrinoharu Brewing's character.
MugiHaving both keg and can options is strong! If it's easy to choose in cans too, I want to start by taking my time at home, then drink it again in Terauchi-cho for the atmosphere.
Hop BroGood idea. Then tonight it's stout, no question. You can feel black happiness from the first glass, and next time you'll want to line up pale ale and IPA for a tasting too.
Banrinoharu Brewing, which operates a brewery and beer hall in Terauchi-cho, Tondabayashi, Osaka, has begun selling stout as a new canned option. The brewery was created through the renovation of a former sake brewery remaining in a district that once prospered through the brewing industry, and it is characterized by brewing with "golden water" drawn from groundwater fed by the Kongo mountain range.
The newly added stout is said to center on the powerful aroma of roasted malt, with nuances reminiscent of cacao and nuts. It finishes dry yet satisfying to drink, with ABV 5% and IBU 20. Banrinoharu Brewing describes it as a "classic and popular beer from the time of opening," positioning it as one of the core flavors of the brewery.
At the same time, the brewery is listing the beers available for wholesale in kegs as pale ale, amber ale, IPA, Hazy IPA, saison, rye weizen, weizen, stout, and sake ale. The beers available for wholesale in cans are pale ale, weizen, and stout. In addition to a glass enjoyed in the historic atmosphere of Terauchi-cho, the lineup is also easy to choose from as canned beer to savor slowly at home.
