The brewpub Wolfbräu in Shuri, Naha, has launched “Shuri Black (Black IPA),” a beer that combines the toasty aroma of black malt, hop bitterness, and a fruity finish, now available in both bottles and cans. It can be purchased in-store, and online sales begin on May 26.
Hop BroThe Shuri brewpub, Wolfbräu's new release is here. This time it's “Shuri Black,” a Black IPA.
MugiWait, black but IPA!? It looks kind of scary, but is it actually the tasty kind!?
Hop BroThe idea is to combine the toasty aroma of black malt with hop bitterness, then finish with a fruity aftertaste.
MugiA fruity aftertaste means it has a fruit-like feel even though it's beer? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroExactly. Think citrusy aromas or a soft impression that lingers after you drink it. A Black IPA is all about drinking through the balance of aroma and bitterness.
MugiI get it! And if you can buy it in bottles and cans, that means I can have Shuri Black at home too!
Hop BroAnd with this release, the Shuri series has expanded to six varieties. Red, Yellow, Kaze, Hazy, Lager, and Black. It's like a color chart now.
MugiShuri Red, Shuri Yellow... the fun of choosing by color is huge. If I had to pick today, I'd end up wanting to drink them all...
Hop BroYou can already buy it in-store, and online sales start on May 26, so don't forget to check it out.
MugiThen after walking around the Shuri Castle area, I want to toast with a freshly poured glass! That toasty black malt aroma is making me want to go drink it right now!
From the brewpub “Wolfbräu” in Shuriiheba-cho, Naha City, comes news of a new house-brewed beer. The latest release is “Shuri Black (Black IPA)”. Both bottles and cans are available in stores starting today, and sales in the online shop will begin on May 26.
The style is Black IPA. It is designed to layer the toasty character of heavily roasted malt with hop bitterness, while leaving a fruity aftertaste. Rather than leaning too far into an all-black appearance, it is the kind of beer that stands out through its balance of aroma, bitterness, and finish, making it one to watch not only for fans of dark beers but also for IPA drinkers.
Wolfbräu is a brewpub in Shuri where you can enjoy craft beer in town. One of its charms is that you can not only drink it on site, but also take it home in bottles or cans. With the addition of this new “Shuri Black,” the Shuri series has grown to a total of six varieties. The lineup is:
- Shuri Red (Amber Ale)
- Shuri Yellow (Kölsch)
- Shuri no Kaze (Citrus Hop Ale)
- Shuri Hazy (Hazy IPA)
- Shuri Lager (Original Lager)
- Shuri Black (Black IPA)
From ale and lager to hazy, citrus-forward styles, and now a dark beer, the series spans a wide range. True to its identity as a Shuri brewpub, the lineup makes side-by-side comparisons easy, and it should also open up more enjoyment when paired with food. It would also be a nice stop to make while strolling around the Shuri Castle area, enjoying a freshly poured beer on the spot.
