Half Yard Shiki Taps Baird Beer’s “Four Sisters Springbock” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “House Lager 2,02”
A new Instagram post from Half Yard Shiki introduced two guest beers: Baird Beer’s seasonal bock “Four Sisters Springbock” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “House Lager 2,02.” It’s a lineup you’ll want to enjoy slowly with food at this Shiki beer pub.
Hop BroAt Half Yard Shiki, two new beers have arrived. The lineup is Baird Beer’s “Four Sisters Springbock” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “House Lager 2,02,” and it’s the kind of thing that really hits the spot for lager fans.
MugiWhoa! Something for lager fans sounds like it might be plain at first glance, but actually be really deep, right? And just from the names alone, they already sound delicious. Now I suddenly want a drink!
Hop BroExactly. First up, “Four Sisters Springbock” is a seasonal bock. It’s a German lager released in May, with a slightly reddish gold color, a fine head, and the appeal of malt sweetness and umami coming through strongly.
MugiA bock? What’s that supposed to be! Malt sweetness means it tastes kind of bready even though it’s beer? And “spring springbock” sounds so stylish too!
Hop BroGood catch. Bock is a full-bodied lager, but what’s interesting is that it still has a sense of lightness too. Add a subtle hop bitterness, and it’s the kind of beer you’d want to sip slowly while feeling the air outside.
MugiI see, so it’s the slow-sipping kind! Then having it at Half Yard Shiki, by the window or somewhere while just zoning out, sounds amazing. I really love that kind of time!
Hop BroThe other one, “House Lager 2,02,” is the fourth new release in the House Lager series. This time it uses Kinmon-nishiki, and beyond the white-peach-like fruitiness and crisp finish, it also has smoothness from spelt wheat.
MugiWait, they use sake rice? So it’s like making beer with a Japanese sake-like idea? And white-peach-like too? At that point, isn’t it basically something other than a lager wearing a lager face?
Hop BroThat’s right, and that playful spirit is very much like Shiga Kogen Beer. On top of that, after you swallow it, a nutty aroma comes through, and because it’s dry and sharp, it can take in a wide range of food pairings.
MugiThat’s so good! If it’s easy to pair with food, it could work as both the first beer and a beer later on. And with flavor changes too, it seems like there’d be new discoveries every time you drink it!
Hop BroExactly. If you’re making it a night to savor slowly at Half Yard Shiki, these two are a very solid choice, and they’re the kind of beers that make you want to follow their temperature and aroma from the first glass to the last.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I want to drink right now! Enjoying the malt richness with Four Sisters Springbock and then feeling the crispness with House Lager 2,02 sounds absolutely perfect!
