Hop BroMATSURI BREWING in Urayasu has brought in two new beers. They're a lineup from Basqueland Brewing in Spain's Basque Country, and it sounds like they're already available at the shop.
MugiWhat! Beer from Spain in Urayasu!? That straight-from-the-Basque-Region vibe is amazing. It kind of feels like taking a trip!
Hop BroThe first star of the show is Mind The Gap. It's a West Coast IPA with tropical and citrus notes, plus a little dankness, so it's the kind of beer with really clear edges.
MugiDank? What does that even mean!? That slightly dank thing sounds like beer and a bath got mixed together!
Hop BroNot quite. Dank here means nuances like damp grass, pine, or green hop character, and it pairs well with the clean bitterness of a West Coast IPA.
MugiSo basically it's refreshing, but with a strong personality? Then it sounds like it'd go great with fried food, with those citrus hops turned all the way up!
Hop BroThe other one is Flysch. It's an Extra Pale Ale, and its light body is layered with aromas like orange peel, gooseberry, and white fruit, making it a pretty expressive beer.
MugiGooseberry, who even is that!? And now we're talking about the aroma of white fruit too? This is starting to sound like the produce section!
Hop BroIf you think of it as something crisp and bright, like apple or pear, that's pretty close. It also fits really well with the drinkable core that MATSURI BREWING values.
MugiThen I'll start with Flysch for the bright aroma first, and then move on to Mind The Gap to really enjoy the bitterness!
Hop BroThat's a good sequence. If you line up the two in Urayasu and taste them side by side, there's real fun in being able to choose based on your mood, and now I can't stop thinking about beer.
MugiYeah, this is definitely a go! Let's toast in Urayasu tonight and head out for a drink!
MATSURI BREWING (Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture) announced on Instagram on April 6 that it had brought in beers from Spain's Basque Country's `Basqueland Brewing`. The supplier is `ladybirds.trading`, and the two labels introduced this time are both beers with clearly defined style characteristics, making them fun to compare side by side.
The Two Arrivals
- `Mind The Gap`
A `West Coast IPA`. It is described as tropical, citrusy, and with a slight dank character.
- `Flysch`
An `Extra Pale Ale`. It is characterized by a light body and a vivid, complex aroma, with notes reminiscent of orange peel, gooseberry, and white fruit.
MATSURI BREWING is a brewpub and brewery within walking distance of Urayasu Station, and it continues making beer around the theme of being "somewhat nostalgic and highly drinkable." On its official website as well, it highlights products that balance drinkability and individuality, such as its festive IPA series and its JUICY series, which make the most of fruit and hop aromas.
This latest arrival is very much in line with MATSURI BREWING's approach of delivering not only its own beer, but also the character of overseas breweries. Whether you want the sharp edge of a West Coast IPA or the bright aroma of an Extra Pale Ale, the contrast between the two styles is easy to appreciate. If you're looking for craft beer in Urayasu, this is an arrival worth checking out.
