BiaMa Kitasenju Introduces Four Goses and Sour Ales You’ll Want to Drink on Hot Days
BiaMa Kitasenju posted on Instagram introducing three gose-style beers and one sour ale to match the season as the heat intensifies. Centered on citrus, pine, herbs, and salt, the four beers are available during business hours of 14:00 to 23:00 (L.O. 22:00).
Hop BroBiaMa Kitasenju’s four beers for hot days got a really thoughtful introduction on Instagram.
MugiWhoa, four of them? That sounds like a refreshing gang, and just hearing the names makes the sweat go away!
Hop BroExactly. The focus is gose and sour ale. With acidity and saltiness, these are the kinds of beers that slide right in when the heat has worn you down.
MugiGose, huh? Is it just sour and nothing else? It sounds kind of advanced!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, gose is a salty sour beer. This one, “Super Spruce,” is a dry-hopped gose, so it brings out citrus and pine-like aromas.
MugiPine in beer?! That’s like a forest beer. I’m surprised, but honestly I kind of want to try it!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Long Beach Lab’s Pretty Gose layers in the brightness of lemon and herbs, plus even the color of dragon fruit.
MugiEven the color is cute! It’s the kind of drink that’s summer-ready in both looks and taste, something you’d want to photograph before drinking!
Hop BroAnd Young Master’s pickled lime-based “Cha Chaan Teng Sour” makes its crisp acidity easy to imagine, while Amami Brewery’s “Salty Shikuwasa Sour Ale” has a strong personality from using whole shikuwasa and Amami salt.
MugiWow, so even within the same refreshing category, they’re totally different. This is a deep rabbit hole of tasting comparisons, dangerous but fun!
Hop BroAnd they’re open 14:00 to 23:00, with last order at 22:00. If you’re looking for a beer on a hot day in Kitasenju, you’ll probably want to stop by BiaMa Kitasenju and work through these four one by one.
MugiIt’s decided! This is my beer pick for today, and I want to start with a super-cold gose!
BiaMa Kitasenju introduced four beers on Instagram centered on a “refreshing, crisp gose style” for days when the heat is intense. The shop is a beer pub in Senju, Adachi Ward, Tokyo, and can be introduced as a casual place to enjoy craft beer in the Kitasenju area.
The beers featured this time were Grimm’s “Super Spruce,” Long Beach Lab’s “Pretty Gose,” Young Master’s “Cha Chaan Teng Sour,” and Amami Brewery’s “Salty Shikuwasa Sour Ale.” All of them form a lineup designed around lightness, acidity, saltiness, and citrus character that make them appealing on hot days.
“Super Spruce” is described as a dry-hopped gose, with hop-derived citrus and pine aromas. “Pretty Gose” is a beer that combines the refreshing feel of lemon and herbs with the color of dragon fruit. “Cha Chaan Teng Sour” is a gose made with pickled lime, making its sharper acidity easy to imagine.
Meanwhile, “Salty Shikuwasa Sour Ale” is a sour ale that uses whole shikuwasa citrus from Tokunoshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, together with Amami salt. Although it is not a gose, the post includes it alongside the others as a candidate for hot days. Its character comes through in how it balances saltiness and acidity, and even within the same “refreshing” category, there is fun in comparing them side by side.
Business hours are 14:00 to 23:00 (L.O. 22:00). It is a post worth checking when looking for beer that suits a hot day in Kitasenju.
