Five Kegs Rotated at Sapporo's Moyamoya Base, Featuring REPUBREW and Ise Kadoya Brewery
The craft beer lineup at "Moyamoya Base," a beer pub in Minami 2-jo Higashi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, has been updated today. Five kegs are on tap from REPUBREW, Ise Kadoya Brewery, NEKOBEER, Kyoto Beer, and GRANDLINE BREWING, available in two sizes: Regular and Small.
Hop BroThere’s a five-keg refresh at Moyamoya Base in Minami 2-jo Higashi, Sapporo. Having REPUBREW, Ise Kadoya Brewery, NEKOBEER, Kyoto Beer, and GRANDLINE BREWING lined up is a pretty strong roster.
MugiWhoa, five kinds at once!? And you can choose between Regular 370 ml and Small 250 ml? That’s great, but I’m about to have a full-on indecision meltdown!
Hop BroIf you’re starting with one glass, I’d recommend REPUBREW’s SOUPY WEIZEN, a wheat-heavy Weizen. At Alc 4.0%, it’s light and just right for warming up.
MugiI kind of get that a Weizen is subtly different, but what does it actually taste like? A name like that makes me nervous!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a style that brings out the softness of wheat, and SOUPY WEIZEN is appealing for its rich mouthfeel. It goes down smoothly, but the malt depth is definitely there, which is the best part.
MugiOhh! Then I’m curious about Ise Kadoya Brewery’s Sour IPA: Strawberry & Raspberry too. What does berry tartness taste like!?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The acidity and hops overlap, so the sweet-tart strawberry and raspberry notes are layered with a light bitterness, making it go down easier than it looks.
MugiWhat is that! Even the name NEKOBEER’s Citra-Use Techniques sounds interesting, and now it’s basically a beer lecture!
Hop BroNEKOBEER’s single-hop Pale Ale is all about the tropical aroma from Citra. Kyoto Beer’s IPA is firmly bitter, and GRANDLINE BREWING’s Trial Brew #03 is a hazy IPA with fruity notes like peach and berries, so tasting them side by side is a lot of fun.
MugiIf you’ve got everything from light to hazy lined up, I’ll want to try a little of each! A Sapporo night suddenly feels extra happy when there’s a lineup like this.
Hop BroExactly, it’s the perfect day for a tasting comparison. I’m starting to really want to sip my way through and agonize over which glass to finish with, too.
