Hop BroThis month's pick is MOSETSURI at 4%. It's Brasserie Knot's August summer ale from Tsurui, Hokkaido.
MugiWait, named after the place? Mosetsuri sounds so cute I already want to say it twice!
Hop BroThat's the charm. It carries the Mosetsuri name, and the beer layers a dry finish with herbal notes and fruit character.
MugiHold on, herbal and fruity in one glass? In my head a meadow and a fruit stand are crashing into each other!
Hop BroThat comes from hop layering. European hops bring grassy freshness, and American hops add bright citrusy fruit.
MugiOhhh, grassy freshness actually makes sense! Those hard words just landed somewhere between salad and lemon!
Hop BroAnd Brasserie Knot is a renovated school gym brewery. They care about clear balance instead of pushing too much personality.
MugiWhat is that! A gym brewery sounds like youth drama and fermentation in the same building! I can hear bubbles instead of whistles!
Hop BroIt's a crisp summer ale built for Hokkaido's short summer, so it should pair easily with food. The 4.0% is smart too.
MugiNope, that's it, I need a glass right now! Chill it hard, and before you start lecturing, I'm claiming first sip!
Hop BroAgreed, first round is MOSETSURI. Drink this while picturing a Hokkaido summer and the conversation definitely won't stop.
