MugiWhoa, a 13% strong ale? That's serious drinking intensity already!
Hop BroAnd the thing is, it isn't just strong, because it carries a ginjo aroma from sake yeast.
MugiGinjo aroma? You mean it smells kind of like Japanese sake?
Hop BroExactly. The interesting part is the fruity character like apple honey, along with a refreshing malic acidity.
MugiOh wow! And if it has a dry finish, it probably drinks easier than it looks even if it's heavy!
Hop BroThe shop suggests pairing it with cream cheese topped with dried figs and walnuts, which is a great pairing.
MugiWhat is that, I know beer and cheese go well together, but once you bring in figs and walnuts, it gets way too stylish!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Grau has six beers on tap that day, ranging from IPA and Kölsch to hazy, imperial stout, and more.
MugiAnd if there are NEXT TAP teasers too, then it makes you want to keep coming back!
Hop BroYou can go hard with Kinka no Itadaki and then finish with something lighter, so it should be a night that's fun to compare beers.
MugiYeah, now I really want to go to Grau for a slow, proper drink tonight!
