Hop BroAt 2nd Floor Craft Beer Shop Tsumugi in Minamikashiwa, Baird Beer’s Four Sisters Spring Bock has been tapped.
MugiWhoa, Four Sisters Spring Bock already sounds intriguing! It sounds strong, but there’s also something cute about it!
Hop BroIt’s a beer inspired by the German Maibock style, and while it has a solid malt backbone, it goes down smoothly.
MugiMaibock...? So that’s not some boxing special move, but a German style?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a strong lager for the winter-to-spring season, and the post described its copper-gold color and sweet, floral aroma.
MugiWow, it already sounds delicious just from the look! But if it uses 25% wheat, won’t that make it taste like bread?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it keeps the grain depth while making the mouthfeel lighter, so it’s rich and malty without being too heavy.
MugiI see! And if it’s only a one-minute walk from the west exit of Minamikashiwa Station, you can just drop by for a drink near the station!
Hop BroTsumugi is a specialty shop for Japanese craft beer, with eight draft beers always on tap, and being able to compare them while talking with the staff is a big plus.
MugiAnd you can even hear about swing casks too? That’s the kind of place where you drink beer and pick up trivia at the same time!
Hop BroIn the end, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to head out for a drink while slowly enjoying that rounded finish.
MugiYeah, I can’t hold back anymore! I want to go drink Four Sisters Spring Bock right now!
