Swan Lake Beer Collaboration Alt "Album" Arrives at KEG-NAGOYA
An Instagram post from KEG-NAGOYA introduced the Swan Lake Beer collaboration beer "Album (ALT)." It is a four-way collaboration with female brewers from Yamamorido, HEIWA CRAFT, and karuizawaQ, adding a distinctive guest beer to this beer pub in Higashisakura, Nagoya.
Hop BroAt KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, Swan Lake Beer’s collaboration alt "Album" was featured. As a new addition at KEG-NAGOYA, it’s definitely a bottle that catches your eye.
MugiWait, Album is an alt! That name sounds so stylish that I honestly thought it was about music!
Hop BroThe style is Alt, Alc 5%. It’s a collaboration brew made by four female brewers from Yamamorido, HEIWA CRAFT, karuizawaQ, and Swan Lake Beer.
MugiWhat! A four-way collaboration sounds like it would involve endless meetings, but does the beer actually come together well?
Hop BroIt does come together. The inspiration came from the Dusseldorf Alt trip the four of them took, so it feels like they bottled up the atmosphere of Germany as it was.
MugiOh wow! So you can drink the memory of a trip? That’s kind of romantic, like a beer field trip!
Hop BroAnd the ingredients are solid too: the malt is ALL Weyermann, and the hop is WETHOP (Spalter Select), used for the first time at Swan Lake Beer.
MugiWETHOP sounds unexpectedly powerful! But in the end, does that mean it’s a hop with a good aroma?
Hop BroExactly. Rather than making a bold statement, it’s the kind of beer where you enjoy the malt character and its gentle aroma. It’s the sort of beer where the soft aroma gradually comes through.
MugiNice! And KEG-NAGOYA has 13 taps all the time and dim sum and fried dishes too, right? That’s absolutely the kind of place that makes you want to drink!
Hop BroYep, it’s easy to get to from the Sakae and Hisaya Odori areas, and a story-driven pint like this is a perfect match. If you like Swan Lake Beer, check the tap lineup before you go and let’s raise a glass together.
The craft beer pub KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, has introduced Swan Lake Beer's collaboration beer "Album" on Instagram. The post specifies Style: Alt and Alc: 5%, and presents it as a beer brewed through a four-person collaboration between the female brewers of Yamamorido (Kyoto), HEIWA CRAFT (Wakayama), karuizawaQ (Nagano), and Swan Lake Beer.
This beer was inspired by the Dusseldorf Alt the four brewers encountered on a trip to Germany last year. The post explains that the ingredients were chosen with a strong commitment to German sourcing: the malt is made by ALL Weyermann, and the aroma hop uses WETHOP (Spalter Select), which is being used for the first time at Swan Lake Beer. Rather than relying on flashy accents, this is the kind of guest beer best enjoyed by taking time to appreciate the balance between the malt character and its gentle aroma.
