Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki just tapped Passific Brewing's JAZZ'INN. It's a special pour for Que's 17th anniversary, so this one has a real story behind it.
MugiWait, a celebration beer for an izakaya anniversary? That already sounds like a very convincing reason to order a glass!
Hop BroAnd the style is First Flush Sour. It's only 4.0% ABV, with Japanese black tea character layered into a light sour ale.
MugiWhat is that? First flush sounds like secret tea wizard terminology. Why is my beer suddenly giving me homework?!
Hop BroIt basically means the first tea harvest, so it suggests a bright and elegant tea aroma. Sounds technical, but really it just means fragrant tea-sour goodness.
MugiOhhh, so Japanese black tea aroma means soft and floral, not heavy and intense? That actually makes it sound super easy to love.
Hop BroExactly, and the beer uses lactic fermentation for a gentle tang. Not harsh or aggressive, just clean, refreshing, and a little nostalgic.
MugiThat is wild. How does science-y wording turn into a nostalgic pint? Beer really said, 'Let's ferment some feelings too.'
Hop BroThat's the fun of places like HOP MAN and their rotating guest taps. You're not only drinking the beer, you're drinking the backstory too.
MugiAnd this one comes with the Que 17th anniversary angle too, right? Flavor plus occasion is a dangerous combo for my self-control.
Hop BroSame here, I want a pour now. At 4.0% ABV with that tea aroma and crisp finish, it sounds perfect for a first round.
MugiJust imagining it makes me want that Chigasaki tap immediately. JAZZ'INN at HOP MAN sounds like an instant cheers moment!
