sabo beer bar ＆ bookstore brews anniversary beer "Potlach" at GORA BREWERY
The Tokyo Morishita beer pub **sabo beer bar ＆ bookstore** is brewing its anniversary beer ahead of its 1st Anniversary at **GORA BREWERY** in Hakone-Yumoto. This time, an imperial gose called **Potlach (ポトラッチ)**, made with pear as a secondary ingredient, is set to appear.
Hop BroThe Morishita beer pub, sabo beer bar ＆ bookstore, has started moving toward its 1st Anniversary. And the fact that the brewing partner is the ever-familiar GORA BREWERY is exciting.
MugiWait, they really brew anniversary beer that seriously!? And brewing in Hakone-Yumoto makes it feel like a trip!
Hop BroThis time's star is Potlach (ポトラッチ). It's an imperial gose with pear added as a special touch.
MugiAn imperial gose? What's that! It sounds strong, but is gose a type of beer?
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking, it's a style known for saltiness and acidity. Here, they layer in the fruitiness of pear to make it more than just sour.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds easy to drink! And the hops include Nelson Sauvin too, which sounds way too stylish just by name!
Hop BroExactly. They also combine El Dorado and Galaxy, so it should bring out white grape-like notes and even tropical vibes.
MugiAn aroma like white peach syrup is basically dessert! But with 7.0% alcohol, it sounds like it could sneak up on you if you're not careful!
Hop BroWhat's great is that this time, they're aiming for a sour style that feels like sabo, based on the Red Porter Sour made for the opening celebration.
MugiA shop where you can move naturally between books and beer, and then releases a anniversary beer like this? That's the best! I want to drink it slowly with food too!
Hop BroOnce more news comes out, I want to go right away. I'm already wanting to toast with my first glass.
MugiMe too! Today I'm fully in the mood to drink Potlach!
Tokyo Morishita's sabo beer bar ＆ bookstore has started brewing its anniversary beer to coincide with its 1st Anniversary. The brewery chosen this time is its long-familiar partner, GORA BREWERY. The post reveals the outline of a special beer commemorating the anniversary, along with scenes of the brew taking shape at the Hakone-Yumoto brewery.
The beer is named Potlach (ポトラッチ). Its style is Imperial Gose, and pear is used as a secondary ingredient. The hop bill combines Nelson Sauvin, El Dorado, and Galaxy, creating aromas reminiscent of ripe pear and white peach syrup, layered with white grape character and tropical nuances. Alcohol content is 7.0%. Rather than leaning only into sourness, it is designed to balance fruitiness with satisfying drinkability.
The post also mentions that, while looking back on the Red Porter Sour brewed for the opening celebration, this time they intentionally steered toward a sour direction that feels like "sabo." Instead of the strong hop punch of a Hazy IPA, the emphasis on acidity and fruitiness that pairs well with food seems like a choice that suits this place.
sabo beer bar ＆ bookstore is a Morishita beer pub where beer and books can flow together naturally. In addition to enjoying guest beers, one of its attractions is these limited brews born from its ties with breweries like this one. It will be worth watching for follow-up news on when anniversary beer Potlach will be served.
