Nutori Brewing previews a new gose brewed with Ehime KJ Beer’s Okamoto
Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi shared a brewing-day update featuring head brewer Okamoto from Ehime KJ Beer. The post says a gose-style beer is being brewed, with an unspecified ingredient to be added later.
Hop BroToday's headline is Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi. They teamed up with Head Brewer Okamoto from Ehime KJ Beer and brewed a gose.
MugiWait, hold on, what is a gose? That sounds like a special move, not a beer!
Hop BroIt is beer. A gose is a classic style where salt and tartness stand out, so it drinks crisp and bright.
MugiWhoa, really? A slightly salty beer sounds wild, but perfect for summer honestly.
Hop BroAnd the fun part is they said they'll add "that thing" later after the main brew day. That's elite-level teasing.
MugiWhat do you mean, what is "that thing"? Lemon? Herbs? A secret notebook from the brewer?!
Hop BroThey haven't revealed it yet, but brewers sometimes use late-added adjuncts to tune aroma and character.
MugiAdjuncts? Help! My brain just entered full brewery mode. So basically they add another flavor layer later?
Hop BroExactly. And Nutori also brews with Kawaguchi's local water, plus their brewpub Beer Shokudo Nutori serves the beer with hearty food.
MugiThat makes it feel like a truly local pint. Now I need the name reveal and the mystery ingredient immediately!
Hop BroThe beer name is still not announced yet, but a gose brewed with Okamoto sounds worth tracking from day one.
MugiThen we're going. At Beer Shokudo Nutori, I'm ordering it and running my own guess-the-mystery-ingredient contest.
A new brew in progress
