Better life with upcycle begins selling three core beers at five nearby Lawson stores
Better life with upcycle, based in Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture, has begun selling its three core craft beers at five nearby Lawson stores. The brewery, which continues to create upcycled products centered on bread, is expanding its signature lineup into a more familiar retail setting.
Hop BroEbina's Better life with upcycle has started lining up its three core beers at five nearby Lawson stores. Being able to run into this lineup at a convenience store is a pretty exciting development.
MugiWhoa! Craft beer at a convenience store feels almost too casual, which somehow makes me nervous! Sold at five Lawson stores is really close to home!
Hop BroThe stars this time are the three flagship beers: American Wheat, Bread Crust, and India Pale Ale. The nice part is that you can step into the brand's world while you're out doing your everyday shopping.
MugiBut seriously, Bread Crust sounds way too bread-like already. Beer with bread crusts? What exactly is this upcycling idea?
Hop BroThat's the core of this brewery. With bread-centered craftsmanship, it gives new value to ingredients like bread crusts and turns them into genuinely tasty beer.
MugiWow, that's kind of socially conscious and cool! And their own brewery in Ebina goes back to a founding in 1923, which suddenly makes the history feel deep!
Hop BroExactly. First, American Wheat is appealing for its aromas of citrus, peach, and coconut from Sabro hops, plus a soft mouthfeel.
MugiSabro hops? There's another new term! Citrus and coconut? That sounds more like a tropical dessert than beer!
Hop BroSimply put, different hop varieties have different aromatic personalities. And Bread Crust layers toast-, caramel-, and tea-like aromas with gentle carbonation, so it really brings out that bread-crust character.
MugiA tea-like beer sounds pretty refined. And hearing that it uses toasted bread crusts makes me want to support it even more!
Hop BroAnd India Pale Ale is the DDH West Coast IPA type, with citrus and tropical aromas and a firm bitterness that lingers on the finish. DDH is a technique that layers dry hopping to bring out more aroma.
MugiGot it, so it's strong on aroma and has solid bitterness too! Then let's swing by Lawson today and have a convenience-store beer?
Hop BroDeal. Just being able to find it at a familiar store makes the usual after-work drink feel a little special, and this is definitely the kind of beer that makes you want to drink together.
