Hop BroNeko Beer in Fukuoka’s Minami Ward has released a new pilsner called Pilsnyaa!.
MugiWait, even the name is cute! Just hearing it’s Neko Beer’s new release makes me curious!
Hop BroWhat’s inside is very classic: Style: pilsner, Abv. 5.0%, Saaz hops, and pilsner malt.
MugiWhat is Saaz anyway? When you say noble hops, I almost thought it was a kind of cat!
Hop BroSaaz is a traditional hop from the Czech Republic, and its hallmark is an elegant aroma. Rather than making a big statement, it’s the type that cleanly supports the malt character.
MugiOhhh, so this beer smells gentle without getting in the way? Hearing straight-up orthodox actually makes me feel reassured.
Hop BroExactly. And it’s lagered for about two months, too. Brewed slowly in a small tank, it’s a pretty luxurious build.
MugiTwo months!? If it ages that long, maybe the beer dreams too. Sharp drinking impression sounds like it’ll really snap when chilled!
Hop BroIf you chill it well, the crispness stands out, and if you let it warm a little, you can enjoy the change in the malty character too. What’s interesting is how the Saaz aroma floats on top of that.
MugiAnd you can drink it at Beer Kichi and Kissa Kitty, right? That makes me want to slip right in like a cat!
Hop BroExactly. A beer that gets the basics right is, in the end, the one you want to drink most.
MugiYeah, today is totally pilsner weather! Let’s have a chilled one!
The brewery Neko Beer, based in Minami Ward, Fukuoka City, introduced its new pilsner, "Pilsnyaa!", on Instagram. Its specs are Style: pilsner, Abv. 5.0%, Malt: pilsner, and Hops: Saaz. It was brewed with the kind of careful lagering that defines a classic, orthodox pilsner.
In the post, the beer was described as a "straight-up, orthodox pilsner." It was revealed that it was carefully matured for about two months, and while a well-chilled pour offers a sharp drinking impression, letting it warm slightly brings out its malty character and the aroma derived from noble hops, suggesting a beer with a broad range of ways to enjoy it.
Neko Beer is a brewery based in Minami Ward, Fukuoka, and is also known for its friendly, cat-themed messaging. In this post as well, it was presented as a "luxurious lager" brewed in small quantities in a small tank, showing an approach that prioritizes careful brewing over mass production.
It is also being served at Beer Kichi and Kissa Kitty from the other day. For pilsner lovers, it seems fun to first enjoy it well chilled to check the balance between the malt profile and the Saaz aroma, then raise the temperature a little and observe how the flavor changes. Rather than flashy embellishments, this is the kind of beer to enjoy as a meticulously executed classic.
