Shiga Kogen Beer “Kind of Gold” Tapped at Craft Beer 2 TAPS
At the beer pub Craft Beer 2 TAPS in Shioiri-cho, Yokosuka City, Shiga Kogen Beer’s collaboration beer “Kind of Gold” has been tapped. The venue announced it on Instagram on April 26, letting fans know they can enjoy an attention-grabbing guest beer there.
Hop BroA new guest beer from Shiga Kogen Beer has landed at Craft Beer 2 TAPS in Yokosuka. The star this time is “Kind of Gold,” and just hearing it’s a collaboration gets me excited.
MugiWow! “Kind of Gold” already sounds sparkling from the name alone! And guest beers are fun because the scene changes every time you visit.
Hop BroAnd this one involves Dogfish Head and Oxbow too. When Shiga Kogen’s context is paired with an overseas brewery’s perspective, it becomes more than a limited release, it becomes a beer with a story.
MugiWhat? A beer with a story sounds cool, but the ingredients seem complicated... Is Carolina Gold Rice literally rice?
Hop BroExactly, and that’s what makes it interesting. According to Shiga Kogen’s announcement, the idea started with “Sono Ju,” and they used Carolina Gold Rice and Edisto Gold Honey.
MugiOhhh! So rice and honey can change the beer’s expression. It sounds sweet, but does it still feel like beer?
Hop BroThat’s where the Shiga Kogen character comes through: the base has a solid backbone. Even with the ingredients’ individuality layered in, it doesn’t just turn softly sweet, it keeps a clean, well-defined shape.
MugiI want to drink that! When I hear “clean shape,” I imagine a really crisp flavor. It sounds like it would go great with savory food!
Hop BroExactly. The article also suggested pairing it with savory meat dishes, and when you find it at a place like Craft Beer 2 TAPS in Shioiri-cho, you can enjoy it as part of the whole experience, including the food pairing.
MugiFinding a beer like that in Yokosuka sounds great. Just the phrase “a pint in Shioiri-cho” adds a little travel vibe, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThen tonight’s decided. One pint of Kind of Gold... actually, it’s the kind of beer that makes you want two.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to drink it now! I want to toast in Yokosuka while tasting the story behind the collaboration too!
