Hop BroTo celebrate GROW BREW HOUSE's 7th anniversary in Kawaguchi, they've released the commemorative beer "mix." It's a Milk Shake IPA at 7%.
MugiWait, a Milk Shake IPA? It's beer, but it's a shake?! That already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroWhat's cool is that it starts with the softness of lactose and a sweet-tart character from lactic acid. On top of that they layer fruity hops, and the post describes it as tasting like a fruit au lait.
MugiWhat even is lactose supposed to taste like? It sounds milky, but it's so weird that they use it in beer!
Hop BroLactose is a sugar that yeast can't fully consume, so it leaves a gentle sweetness behind. That makes the mouthfeel smoother, and when it combines with acidity, it gives off a dessert-like quality.
MugiWhoa, and they even put in banana and coconut? That's basically a tropical lounge outfit of a beer!
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes "mix" interesting: the hidden-flavor personality really stands out. Sweetness, acidity, hop aroma, and then banana and coconut drifting over the top.
MugiThey've got all kinds of beers on tap too! Amanatsu Wheat Lager and the others make me want to try them all side by side!
Hop BroThat's one of GROW BREW HOUSE's strengths: the range of flavors is huge. They've got the briskness of amanatsu, a cacao porter, and even a hefty barley wine.
MugiAnd they're even announcing spring events? That's not fair! Now I want to go to both Pizza Day and the beer fest!
Hop BroFor a milestone like their 7th anniversary, this is a pretty strong beer to drink. All right, let's start with a toast with "mix," then move on to the Amanatsu Wheat Lager too.
MugiI'm in! Today's clearly a no-brainer for a toast. I definitely don't want this fruit-au-lait-like IPA to be drank before I get to it!
The 7th anniversary beer "mix" arrives
The Nishikawaguchi brewpub GROW BREW HOUSE has released a new beer, "mix", to celebrate its 7th anniversary. The style is Milk Shake IPA, with an alcohol content of 7%. Built on a soft sweetness from generous use of lactose and a sweet-tart character from lactic-acid-producing yeast, it is finished with fruity hop aromas, and the post describes it as tasting like a "fruit au lait." The addition of banana and coconut as hidden accents gives it a personality unlike anything else.
The taps also feature a lineup that shows a wide range of flavors. Amanatsu Wheat Lager is a Fruits Wheat Lager at 4%, a light and lively beer that highlights fruitiness. Letter is a Cacao Milk Porter at 8%, making its cocoa-driven roastiness and milky roundness easy to imagine. Onajihanashi is a Barley Wine at 9%, promising a hearty drinking experience. In addition, Leith Walk IPA is a relatively low-ABV IPA also introduced on the brewery's website, with grapefruit-like aromas and bitterness as its defining traits. BIG BRIDGE IPA is positioned as a classic malty American IPA.
GROW BREW HOUSE is known as a brewpub in the Kawaguchi/Nishikawaguchi area where you can enjoy house-brewed beer alongside food. It is a place best appreciated not only for the individuality of each beer, but also for how well it pairs with meals. The post also announces upcoming appearances at "Pizza Of Grow" on April 11 and 12 and at the "Sakuratown Beer Fest" on April 25, 26, and 29. At this 7th anniversary milestone, it is the perfect time to sample a tap list that pushes sweetness, acidity, aroma, and bitterness in different directions.
