Hop BroSo Great Dane Brewing in Akiu announced "the long-awaited mini glasses!" on Instagram, right? When a vessel for enjoying small pours appears, it instantly gets me fired up as someone who loves tasting flights.
MugiWait, mini glasses are that important? But yeah, being able to drink just a little at a time does sound nice. I always get lost trying to choose because there are too many beers I want to try.
Hop BroThe point is that they're not just small, they're made for tasting flights. It's easier to catch differences in aroma, bitterness, and sweetness, so they're well suited for comparing each beer's character.
MugiReally? But does tasting flight stuff really make that much of a difference? If it's one glass at a time, the differences in flavor should be easier to notice, which sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. Great Dane Brewing is an American brand founded in 1994, and in Japan it has a brewery and restaurant in Akiu, Taihaku Ward, Sendai.
MugiWow, being able to drink freshly made beer in Akiu is amazing. And if it's a brewpub, that means having a drink on the spot is the whole point, right!
Hop BroThat's right. And the founder, Rob Robreglio, was named U.S. Brewer of the Year. With that kind of background, even something like a glass shows the thinking behind how they want people to enjoy beer.
MugiI like that they really think through even the glassware! If you can keep the portions modest while trying different labels, it feels friendly even for beginners.
Hop BroAnd Akiu is an easy place to visit while sightseeing, so it's perfect for a day when you want to try just a little. Enjoying lots of variety in small amounts is also great for food pairings.
MugiConsidering pairings too is unfair! It does sound fun to change things up little by little depending on the dish. Being able to drink while keeping an eye on your appetite is the best.
Hop BroThat's why these mini glasses are an extension of the "take your time and enjoy it" culture Great Dane Brewing has always valued. For drinkers, it's one more welcome option.
MugiAll right, when I go to Akiu, I'll start by trying the mini glass, and if I like it, I'll go for another one! Enjoying things little by little with full energy might be just right for us!
