Hop BroFor vivo! BEER+DININGBAR's 16th anniversary project in Ikebukuro, they've tapped Oyam G Beer's 'Grand Saison 2015.' And having the regular Grand Saison on the side makes it even better.
MugiWait, a 2015 version? You can drink beer that's been aged that long?! That's already in wine territory!
Hop BroExactly. That's the appeal of 10 years of aging. When you add time-softened depth to the lightness of a saison, the same beer can feel like a totally different person.
MugiA different person? What do you mean! Does the taste change that dramatically?
Hop BroIt does. The 2015 version has a calm, aged character, while the regular 2025 version has the freshness of the current brewing style, and if you line them up in a tasting set, the differences stand out clearly.
MugiWhoa, being able to compare them side by side is amazing! After trying one, I can already hear myself saying, 'Oh, this one is full of energy!'
Hop BroAnd this time, it's also part of the anniversary lineup, like a rare beer gathering. There are commemorative stickers too, so the whole place feels like a festival.
MugiThat makes me want to go! The special feel of an anniversary makes the beer taste even better too.
Hop Brovivo! BEER+DININGBAR is a craft beer specialty shop on Ikebukuro Sunshine Street, and the fact that the lineup changes every day is part of the appeal. There's always something new to discover.
MugiWow, I'd want to keep going to a place like that! The main star today may be Grand Saison 2015, but I'd still end up looking around at everything else too!
Hop BroIn the end, you just want to enjoy the depth of aging together with the freshness of the current version and drink slowly. This is the kind of place you want to spend a weekend relaxing with.
MugiYeah, now I totally want a drink too! I'm in the mood to raise a glass right now, so let's go for both the Grand Saison 2015 and the regular version!
