Session's Brewery Hiroshima in Tokaichimachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, announced the release of its tea beer, Teara.

Hop BroSession's Brewery Hiroshima in Hiroshima released a tea beer called 'Teara.' For black tea lovers, that's a pretty compelling topic.
MugiWait, what is a tea beer? You mean beer with tea in it?
Hop BroExactly. And Teara is very mild at IBU 2, so the bitterness is pretty restrained.
MugiIBU 2 means it's almost not bitter at all, right? Does it even work as beer?
Hop BroNot only does it work, this time black tea aroma is the star. They use tea leaves in both the boiling and fermentation stages, which is interesting because it layers the aroma really cleanly.
MugiWhat, they put tea in both the boiling and fermentation stages?! That's so artisanal my ears can't keep up!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's an idea like low-temperature extraction, where you pick up the tea aroma without blowing it away. They keep the brightness of black tea and blend it into the beer.
MugiWow! And they use hops like northern too. It's not just tea, the beer has a proper backbone too.
Hop BroThey also build it around malts centered on Maris Otter-type malts to give it gentle richness and roundness. There's a bit of astringency, but as you keep drinking, the barley finish spreads quietly.
MugiThis sounds like something that works both with food and on its own! If you drink it freshly made at a brewpub in Hiroshima, you'll definitely be happy from the aroma!
Hop BroRight, you can follow it in the shop or online too, and this is the kind of beer I want to drink right now. Mugi, should we toast with Teara on our next day off?
MugiI'm in! Just the words 'tea beer' are exciting, and today I'm completely in the mood to drink already!
Session's Brewery Hiroshima (Tokaichimachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City) announced the release of its tea beer, Teara. In the post, it is introduced as a beer that lets you fully enjoy the aroma of black tea, and its IBU is 2. Tea leaves were used in both the boiling and fermentation stages, and through an approach close to low-temperature extraction, the brewery says it drew out the tea leaves' natural brightness and clear aroma.
The recipe is straightforward as well. The hops used are `northern`, `nugget`, `cascade`, and `saaz`, while the malts are combined from `Best ale`, `maris otter`, `munich`, `amber`, and `crystal150L`. While leaving a faint astringency from the black tea, the mouthfeel is given a gentle richness and roundness, with bitterness kept low. The design is striking for its balance, with the barley aftertaste spreading quietly the more you drink.
Session's Brewery Hiroshima is a brewpub where brewing and serving are integrated. One of its charms is being able to taste freshly made beer right in the city, and the post also points people to orders and purchases at the storefront as well as the online shop and e-commerce site. This tea beer, which balances an aromatic lift with a mellow drinking profile, is easy to try both with food and on its own. For anyone in Hiroshima looking to follow distinctive new releases, this is one to check out.
