MugiWait, it gets upgraded every year!? That sounds like a beer whose personality changes every time you drink it. A little scary, a little fun!
Hop BroThis time it centers on Strata, paired with Simcoe, Cascade, and Columbus, and it really brings out pine-like freshness and bitterness.
MugiPine? Bitter? Hold on, what exactly is Columbus? It suddenly has major final-boss energy!
Hop BroColumbus is one of the hop varieties, and it helps build the structure of aroma and bitterness. In other words, this stratosphere is designed to sharpen the contours of the aroma while adding a crisp bitterness.
MugiSo it's more clear-cut than fuzzy and soft! And with ABV 6.5%, it sounds like it has the kind of heft I like!
Hop BroExactly. It is the kind of beer where the hop-driven fruitiness and dank character are joined by a clean bitterness. If you like IPA, this should hit hard as a beer with a very clearly defined profile.
MugiOpen Air Minatoyama Brewery sounds stylish just from the name. Hearing that it's in NATURE STUDIO somehow makes the beer itself seem even more natural!
Hop BroIt's located inside a mixed-use complex that makes use of the former Minatoyama Elementary School site, and it's a maker rooted in the city of Kobe. Their use of hops and herbs with an emphasis on seasonality is part of what makes the brewery feel like itself.
MugiAnd the pairing suggestions are BBQ ribs and seafood grill? That's basically a menu built for drinking! This is definitely the kind of thing that starts an appetizer meeting!
Hop BroExactly. It also goes well with hard cheese, and it's a West Coast IPA you'd want to sip slowly with a meal. Just chilling it right now makes me want to get ready to drink in the aroma.
MugiYeah, today's mood is basically stratosphere and nothing else! I want that bitterness to snap me awake, that aroma to melt me out, and I want to toast already!
