Hop BroTonight I want to talk about Susukino Ale STAND, where the guest beer is Shimokawa Forest Brewery's summer-limited "ANTARES."
MugiWait, that name sounds intense! ANTARES is a star, right? Is this beer trying to launch me into space?
Hop BroExactly, it's the brightest star in Scorpio. The style is Tomato Sour Ale, built around ripe tomato savoriness with a crisp tart finish.

Hop BroThat's the trick: the acidity stays controlled, and salt softens the edges, so it lands with a gose-like finish instead of going wild.
MugiGo... what? Here comes brewery jargon. Every time you say stuff like that, I can hear imaginary fermenters humming.
Hop BroGose is a tart beer style that can use salt, so basically it's salty, tangy, refreshing. ANTARES isn't just sour; it has real savory depth.
MugiOhhh, so sour beer fans and even dedicated gose people could get into it without fearing the tomato part!

Overview
Susukino Yell STAND is introducing ANTARES from Shimo-kawa Mori Brewery, a limited-time beer named after the first-magnitude star Antares in Scorpio. It is presented as a Tomato Sour Ale.
Flavor profile
According to the product description, the beer combines the soft umami of ripe tomatoes, moderate acidity, and saltiness. While a tomato beer may sound intense, the write-up says the tomato character is not overpowering and the beer remains easy to drink. The salt helps round out the acidity, giving it a fresh, savory finish rather than a sharply sour one.
How it fits the venue
The beer is listed by Susukino Yell STAND, a beer pub and specialty craft beer shop in the COCONO SUSUKINO basement level in central Sapporo. The same page also mentions house beers such as Susukino Yell White Ale, Susukino Yell Saison, and Susukino Yell Session IPA, making ANTARES a natural fit for drinkers who want to compare styles side by side.
