Nagano Minamikaze Beer Shares Peach-Squeezing Brew Day
Nagano Minamikaze Beer has shared a glimpse of its brewing process, showing peaches being squeezed for use in a beer batch. The work reflects the Nagano brewpub’s focus on incorporating locally grown agricultural products into its craft beers.
Hop BroNagano Minamikaze Beer in Nagano City shared its Nagano Minamikaze Beer peach-pressing brew day. I’m really curious how this one will turn out.
MugiWhat?! They squeeze peaches right into the beer? Peach juice in the brew—will it taste like a sweet juice drink?
Hop BroNot just sweetness. The idea is likely to layer soft peach aromas over malt richness and hop character, giving it a fresh, juicy feel.
MugiLayered over hop aromas? What does that mean? Won’t my nose get too much information all at once?
Hop BroIf it’s well made, those aromas become layers rather than traffic jams. Fruit-derived notes can make the whole sip more vibrant.
MugiOhhh! And since they use produce from Shinshu, the character of Shinshu peaches could really take center stage!
Hop BroExactly. After receiving its brewing license in 2022, the brewery has kept pursuing craft beer with local ingredients.
MugiBut the beer name, release date, peach variety, and even the finished style are still unannounced, right? The suspense is cruel!
Hop BroThat’s right, so there’s plenty to imagine. Their brewpub is about eight minutes from Nagano Station, where you can watch the brewing tanks while drinking.
MugiI want to toast with that peach beer beside Shinshu salmon or lamb sausage! Let’s wait very, very impatiently for the announcement!
Nagano-based brewery and brewpub Nagano Minamikaze Beer has shared photos of a brewing task involving freshly squeezed peaches. The post shows the fruit being pressed before its juice is added to the brewing process.
Peach juice can contribute a soft, fragrant fruit character and a fresh impression alongside the malt and hop profile of a beer. The brewery has not yet announced the beer’s name, style, release date, peach variety, or other details.
Nagano Minamikaze Beer traces its roots to a standing bar established in Yokohama in 2010. After relocating to Nagano, it opened its current brewpub in December 2021 and obtained its brewing license in April 2022. The brewery aims to create beers featuring agricultural products from Shinshu and to help establish craft beer as part of Nagano City’s local culture.
Located about an eight-minute walk from Nagano Station, the brewpub allows guests to enjoy house-made beer while viewing the brewing tanks from the counter. Its food menu includes dishes made with local ingredients such as Shinshu salmon and lamb sausages from Shinshu-Shinmachi. Beer fans will be watching for further details on the peach beer’s eventual release.
