New 2nd SAW Arrivals at Nomimono-ya in Takamatsu: Ya Dig and Topsy Bananas
The beer pub Nomimono-ya in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, has announced new guest beer arrivals from Belgian brewery @2ndsaw. Two beers are now available: the Czech style dark lager Ya Dig and the Pastry Stout Topsy Bananas, served during the pub's opening hours.
Hop BroHey, Nomimono-ya in Takamatsu has a new 2nd SAW arrival. This time it's a two-beer lineup: Ya Dig and Topsy Bananas!
MugiWhoa! A Belgian brewery showing up is intense! Nomimono-ya's guest keg is bringing the heat again!
Hop BroFirst up, Ya Dig is a Czech style dark lager at ABV 5.5%. It's got toasty malt and coffee notes, and a crisp finish.
MugiWhoa~! But does dark lager mean it's light even though it's black? The gap between looks and taste is scrambling my brain!
Hop BroThis is what happens when you ferment cold with lager yeast: you get a clean, crisp finish. It has roasted character but isn't too heavy, so it's great with food.
MugiWhat is that! Then what about Topsy Bananas? Just the name alone makes it feel like a dessert is guaranteed!
Hop BroTopsy Bananas is the essence of a Pastry Stout, for sure. ABV 9.5%, 10 malts, Cashmere hops, plus banana, lactose, and vanilla beans.
MugiThat's a lot of information! So lactose means it's basically a super-sweet design, right?
Hop BroThat's right. Since lactose doesn't ferment easily, it gives the beer a full-bodied thickness. Think banana, vanilla, caramel, and toffee all layered together.
MugiI can't take it anymore, my stomach is in beer mode! I want to do a tasting and aim for the days that start at 2 p.m., from 3/20 to 3/24!
Hop BroNice, the flow of starting with Ya Dig and finishing with Topsy Bananas is perfect. Right now I just feel like I want to go to Takamatsu immediately!
