Hop BroFete Mishima Brewery in Shizuoka's Mishima has released a new batch of its popular "Japanese Black Tea Amber Lager." Launching at BBJ, stores, and direct sales all at once sounds like a serious comeback.
MugiWait! If it's a simultaneous launch, that means both businesses and regular customers can buy it?! If it's that popular, isn't it going to be a fight to get one in stores?
Hop BroExactly. This beer is an amber lager that evokes Mount Fuji glowing in the sunset as seen from Mishima. The way it brings a landscape to mind through its color alone really shows skill.
MugiI get the amber part, but what was lager again...? Does that mean a crisp style? This suddenly feels like a beer expert exam!
Hop BroTo put it simply, lager is the type that is fermented slowly at low temperatures, so it tends to have a lighter, cleaner mouthfeel. What makes this one interesting is how it layers the roasty aroma of malt with the character of Japanese black tea.
MugiWow! So the character of Japanese black tea really comes through when it's used in craft beer. Tea beer sounds kind of refined and intriguing!
Hop BroLooking at the product details, it uses Japanese black tea from Mishima Katsumataen along with malt, hops, and even white koji. The aroma is amazing too, with not just toast and caramel but notes of lemon peel and oolong tea as well.
MugiWhat, they use white koji too?! That's basically a Japanese cuisine collaboration in the beer world. There's so much information, I feel a little tipsy just hearing about it!
Hop BroAnd with 5.5% alcohol and an IBU of 28, it's designed to be easy to drink without being too bitter. That's why it's well suited as a beer with food and pairs nicely with sausages, salt-seasoned grilled dishes, and light Japanese meals.
MugiThat's perfect! If it goes well with Japanese food, I can bring it straight to dinner. The tea aroma is going to make the table feel a little more stylish!
Hop BroThe backstory is great too: a brewery in Mishima Station's old house and sheet metal workshop renovation has a strong local feel in its flavor. So today's first pick is decided, then.
MugiDecided! I want to drink the new batch, and the combination of Mishima water and Japanese black tea has to be delicious. Now I really want the two of us to toast already!
