Hop BroThere’s a keg in Kochi that caught my eye: Kochi Beer Laboratory just tapped a guest beer, "MODERNE," from SONG BIRD in Kisarazu, Chiba.
MugiWhat! You can drink a Chiba beer while in Kochi? A guest beer sounds like a star player visiting for one night only!
Hop BroAnd the style is a Belgian Tripel. It’s layered and aromatic, bright on top but with a solid backbone underneath.
MugiWhat even is that? Belgian Tripel sounds intense already, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s fruity, a little spicy, and easy to pick up some malt sweetness too. Plus it comes in at 8.5% ABV, so it definitely has weight.
Mugi8.5%!? So it’s the kind of beer that tastes polite at first, then suddenly says, surprise, I’m strong?
Hop BroExactly, and the fun part is that its character changes with temperature. Right after the pour it feels tight, then as it warms up the fruity and malty notes really open up.
MugiMalty! There it is again, the beer-nerd word. What does malty mean without sounding like a science quiz?
Hop BroIt means that grainy rich note you get from the malt, like soft sweetness or a bit of fresh-bread depth. The longer you sip, the clearer it gets.
MugiOoh, so this isn’t a quick chug beer, it’s a slow-sipping pint. That sounds perfect for settling into a beer pub.
Hop BroThat’s the idea. It’s in 55th Street East, easy to drop by, and on this day it’s open from 4:00 PM. Ideal for a post-work seat and a careful taste of MODERNE.
MugiI’m sold. I want to try MODERNE in Kochi and see that citrusy brightness and deep Belgian character for myself right now!
At Kochi Beer Laboratory in Otesuji, Kochi City, a guest beer from SONG BIRD in Kisarazu, Chiba has been tapped: MODERNE. According to the post, it is a Belgian Tripel with an 8.5% ABV, making it a substantial but highly characterful option for beer fans in Kochi.
What stands out in the original post is the way the brewery describes the beer's changing expression as it warms. Rather than treating temperature as a drawback, the note frames it as part of the experience: floral and malty nuances become more apparent as the beer opens up in the glass. That kind of profile fits a beer pub like Kochi Beer Laboratory well, where guests can take their time and follow the beer as it evolves.
MODERNE is presented as a beer with both place and personality, tied to SONG BIRD's Kisarazu identity and the layered complexity expected from Belgian-style strong ales. The caption's imagery suggests something bright and citrus-leaning as well, hinting at a beer with depth beyond its strength.
Kochi Beer Laboratory is a beer pub located in Kochi's 55th street area, east side of Otesuji, making it an easy stop for locals and travelers alike. The bar was set to open at 16:00 on the day of the post. For drinkers looking for a guest tap with structure, aroma, and a strong finish, this is one to watch.
