MugiWait! A Green Tea Ale means it’s beer and tea at the same time!?
Hop BroExactly. Just from the name, it feels seasonal, right? Since it’s an ale with a green tea theme, it’s a beer that should bring out tea-like notes in the aroma and finish.
MugiBut what exactly is an ale? I know it’s a type of beer, but even though I hear the word all the time, it still feels kind of fuzzy to me!
Hop BroAn ale is a top-fermented beer style, and it tends to bring out aromas from fermentation. So for this one too, the highlights are its refreshing drinkability and lingering aroma.
MugiI see! So with the weather warming up, this sounds pretty great as a drink before summer really hits!
Hop BroExactly. Beer Cafe Ninkasi is a beer pub in Fujimidai, Kunitachi City, Tokyo, and part of the fun is following the changing lineup of guest beers.
MugiWow! And a beer-centered shop like that sounds kind of cool, like a real beer geek spot.
Hop BroIt is. It works well with food, but it also stands on its own as just one drink. And this time it’s a seasonal limited beer, so if you find it, you’ll want to drink it sooner rather than later.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! I want to check it out in Kunitachi and enjoy that ‘freshly picked’ feeling myself!
