Maebashi’s Tengu Brewery to Start Brewing "Saezuri Lager" After Golden Week
Tengu Brewery in Maebashi City announced on Instagram that it has begun preparations for its seasonal beer, "Saezuri Lager." In the post, the brewery also shared a reunion story with a "dandy (bird)" that appeared at the factory, saying it will begin brewing after Golden Week.
Hop BroThe story is that Maebashi’s Tengu Brewery is starting its seasonal brewing after Golden Week. This time, the star is "Saezuri Lager," and it feels great to see things get moving for spring into early summer.
MugiWhoa, just from the name Saezuri Lager it already sounds adorable! Since it means chirping, does that mean I’ll start chirping like a bird after I drink it?
Hop BroProbably only in spirit. Since it’s a lager, you can expect something crisp and easy to drink, and as a seasonal release it’s a pretty good fit.
MugiBut when people say lager, it suddenly sounds like specialized jargon! I always kind of lose track of what makes it different from ale.
Hop BroPut simply, lager is fermented slowly at lower temperatures, so it tends to have a clear flavor. Rather than being flashy, it’s the kind of beer where you enjoy the contours of the malt and the sharpness of the hops.
MugiI get it! And the post brought back that dandy (bird) again, which is such a fun detail. It’s like a regular visitor who comes back every year, and that’s so cute!
Hop BroExactly. The way it shows up on the roof when they arrive at the brewery makes it feel like a seasonal signal. A bird announcing the start of brewing is pretty poetic.
MugiA brewery in Maebashi making beer with an episode like that is the best! It really feels like brewing rooted in the local area, and it makes me want to drink in the whole background of the beer too!
Hop BroAnd this time, they haven’t announced the release date yet, so the notice of brewing starting comes first. Part of the fun of seasonal beer is waiting while imagining the time until it’s finished.
MugiWow, hearing that makes me feel like one glass won’t be enough. I’ll want to slowly enjoy something refreshing as a spring-to-early-summer drink.
