Hop BroStreetlight Brewing in Sapporo has just tapped the new Dark Cherry San, and it's already getting attention as a taproom-first release!
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds tasty! A dark cherry sour? Is it the sweet-and-tart dessert kind?
Hop BroIt's Sour Ale Style w/ Dark Cherry with a light 4.5% ABV setup, and the color is deep crimson with a sharply defined acidity.
MugiWhat does that w/ stand for? And isn't a sour ale just sour, anyway?
Hop Brow/ means with, so it basically means it uses dark cherries. A sour ale has lactic acidity, so it's tart like lemon and fruity too.
MugiOhh, so it's easy to drink! And that "san" series, with the Cherry San nickname, is way too cute, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's part of Streetlight's character. This is the first new release in about a year, following the flow of Blur The Lines, Mango San, and Blackberry San.
MugiI want to taste them side by side! Is the taproom easy to visit? It'd be great if outside food is allowed!
Hop BroWeekdays 3-9 p.m., weekends and holidays 12-8 p.m., with last order 15 minutes before closing. Canned takeout is OK too. And since nationwide shipping starts on March 23, you can get it outside Sapporo as well.
MugiWow, being able to find it nationwide makes me happy... The deep red appearance and acidity have me in instant drink mode already!
Hop BroThen it's decided: let's toast with Dark Cherry San first, and then work through the series. Let's make tonight a deliciously sour night!
