Hop BroWhat got tapped at Beer Maison in Fujisawa is Sankt Gallen's "Whey Sour Ale Strawberry."
MugiWait, what is whey? They put that in beer!?
Hop BroThe thing is, it uses whey, a byproduct from making cheese. So it's a pretty unusual recipe.
MugiHearing "byproduct" makes it sound like a science class all of a sudden! But is it actually tasty?
Hop BroThe flavor combines a fruity tartness from lactic acid bacteria with plenty of strawberries, so to put it another way, a strawberry jam-like aroma comes wafting through.
MugiWow! And it even looks like a glossy strawberry color - that's the kind of drink you want to take a photo of!
Hop BroExactly. The sweetness is restrained and it goes down cleanly, so it suits people who like acidity, and it's perfect for anyone looking for a light, easy-drinking pint.
MugiSour ale sounds difficult, but I could drink this! A beer with tartness is kind of tempting!
Hop BroWhat's more, Beer Maison is easy to stop by in the Fujisawa Station area, and the post even says it's good for both a pre-drink stop and a second round.
MugiThat's seriously great... If they're welcome to single-drink visits with no appetizer charge, you can just drop in, and it feels like a place you can visit casually.
Hop BroThen tonight, let's head to Fujisawa and go for the one where you meant to have just one drink but end up having two, while checking out the strawberry aroma and tartness.
MugiYeah, I'm completely in the mood to drink now! Let's go to Fujisawa for the strawberry sour ale!
