Yamanashi’s Minami Alps Beer delivered its fruit beer Bia-Shan to Roadside Station Fujikawa.

What! Bia-Shan already sounds so stylish from the name alone. It sounds powerful, but it’s a fruit beer!
Hop Bro
What’s great about it is how well they present local ingredients. The post lists grapes, peaches, La France pears, Kyoho plums, and even cypress, so it feels like the air of the region is coming through in the aroma.
Mugi
Wait, cypress too!? I thought it was a fruit beer, and now it suddenly feels like I’m going for a walk in the forest!
Hop Bro
That’s what makes it interesting. The idea is to layer the aromas. When the sweetness of fruit is gently joined by a woody note, the flavor gains depth.
Mugi
Ohhh! So you mean you can drink the individuality of Minami-Alps City? It kind of feels like a souvenir from a trip, too!
Hop Bro
Exactly. And Roadside Station Fujikawa is a perfect place for it. It’s somewhere travelers can easily pick up a bottle with a strong regional identity.
Mugi
That’s unfair! A bottle you find while traveling is the kind of thing that instantly gets you excited.
Hop Bro
Minami Alps Beer even has a dedicated page for Bia-Shan, so they’re clearly pushing the brand pretty strongly.
Mugi
I see! Then I’m even more curious about the next new combinations. I want to drink the grapes and peaches, then take a deep breath with the cypress at the end!
Hop Bro
That sounds great. So today’s piece is one that makes you want to actually have a drink while imagining the aromas of fruit and wood.
Mugi
Yeah, once you read it, it’s over! It makes you feel like you want to drink right now!
