Dazaifu Brewery Announces Expanded Availability for Its Sake Kasu Pale Ale
Dazaifu Brewery in Dazaifu, Fukuoka, announced a new development in an Instagram post at 6:12 p.m. on March 10. The "SAKEKASU PALE ALE," which began bottle sales on March 7, also went on offer at the outside venue "Sakaba Sasasa" starting March 10, broadening the places where it can be enjoyed.
Hop BroBreaking news: Fukuoka's Dazaifu Brewery has expanded where you can get "SAKEKASU PALE ALE"! Bottle sales started on March 7, and from March 10 you can also drink it at "Sakaba Sasasa" in Dazaifu.
MugiWhoa! That rollout is fast! Going from "bottle only" to "you can drink it at a bar" in just three days is seriously nimble!
Hop BroThe style is pale ale and the ABV is 5.0%. And they use sake lees sourced from a sake brewery in Saga as a secondary ingredient, which neatly packages Kyushu's fermentation culture into one glass.
MugiWhat?! "Secondary ingredient" sounds like a science lab! Since it's sake lees, does it hit you hard with sake flavor?
Hop BroGood question. A secondary ingredient is any material other than malt and hops. Sake lees adds a sweet aroma and a rounded body, but the beer's structure is still solidly pale ale, so it finishes crisp and easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! So it's basically a pale ale with a Japanese twist. The name alone already makes me curious!
Hop BroWhat's more, Dazaifu Brewery brews in the approach area to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, and they do a great job of bringing out the local character. They have beers that evoke plums and the like, and this one also has a strong local feel.
MugiBeing able to drink it while sightseeing is amazing! If it's not just brewery direct sales but also available at Sakaba Sasasa in town, even a beginner like me can easily go check it out!
Hop BroThat said, the announcement still says quantities are limited, so don't let your guard down. If you find it, the right move is not just "one quick drink," but to secure it with "first drink first"!
MugiDeal! Spring in Dazaifu with SAKEKASU PALE ALE, now I want to go drink it right away!
