PEPOWN in Chigasaki Adds UME Q and Summer Chaser from LIBUSHI bashamichi
PEPOWN, a beer-focused bottle shop in Koyado, Chigasaki, has received two new beers from LIBUSHI bashamichi in Yokohama. The lineup includes UME Q, a sour ale with ume and cucumber, and Summer Chaser, a grisette brewed with summer mandarin from Yokosuka.
Hop BroPEPOWN in Chigasaki just landed two new guest beers from Yokohama's LIBUSHI bashamichi: 'UME Q' and 'Summer Chaser.' Total summer mode.
MugiWait, the name UME Q already has me curious! I get the plum part, but is the Q giving me a quiz?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: Sour Ale w/ Ume & Cucumber. It's 4.5%, with soft plum tartness and a fresh cucumber aroma that feels made for hot days.
MugiCucumber in beer is wild enough, but sour ale sounds like something that makes your whole face fold up!
Hop BroNot that intense. Soft, refreshing acidity is the point. Think crisp and cooling, like lemon water, so it drinks super easily.
MugiOooh, and at 4.5% it's easy to compare side by side. I want this ice-cold after a beach day!
Hop BroThen 'Summer Chaser' brings in Grisette w/ Natsu-Mikan. It's 4.0%, made with summer citrus from Yokosuka, and it balances fresh aroma with a gentle marmalade-like sweetness.
MugiGri... what now? A brand-new style just entered the chat, and it sounds like a spell.
Hop BroGrisette is basically light and dry in style. Fancy word, simple idea: a summer-friendly beer that's easy to drink but still aromatic.
MugiOkay, that clicks! And PEPOWN is the kind of shop where the shelves change with the season, right? I'd be frozen in front of the fridge.
Hop BroExactly. On a 30C-plus day in Chigasaki, these are perfect summer picks. Cool off with UME Q, then let Summer Chaser finish the job.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want them now. Plum-and-cucumber freshness into gentle summer citrus? I'm taking both home.
