Hop BroToday at Beer House Hobbit in Osaka's Hirakata, Minami Shinshu Beer "Cask Red" is on tap.
MugiWhoa! It already sounds strong from the name! What kind of beer is Cask Red?
Hop BroIt's a wine-barrel-aged barley wine, and it has a rich sweetness like raisins and dried fruit.
MugiBarley wine? Is it wine or beer? The name is kind of confusing!
Hop BroIt's beer, and it's also packed with malt, so it's rich and full-bodied. On top of that, the Cascade aroma gives it a woody nuance, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiOh, I see! But there was something that sounded difficult too, right? That AOSORA Refresh Lager thing!
Hop BroExactly. It's a collaboration between Beer House Hobbit and Shima Brewery, and they've made it into a fruity lager. It still has a solid barley character, so it's the kind you can drink easily.
MugiWow, so there's something light too! And food is even bringing Ore no Curry First Unit?
Hop BroIt is. It's a spice curry made by slowly stir-frying beef loin, tomatoes, and onions, and it even comes with a platter of beer fritters, so it's basically banquet mode.
MugiWait, there are six draft beers too? That's cheating! It's a tasting paradise!
Hop BroThey've got Shiga Kogen IPA, Kumazawa Brewery's Hon Yuzu Saison, Nomcraft IPA, and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White too, so the range is way too broad. Checking early is the right move.
MugiWow, today's plan is set. From the heft of barley wine to lager, I want to drink everything with curry in hand!
