AGE AGE SAME AGE


This beer was brewed under the name "'91-'92 BREWERS" as a Czech-style dark lager. It was created by a group of beer-industry classmates, including representative Hata, and is a story-driven beer themed around memories of the same generation and reunion.

For the brewing process, a cherry-wood cask recently obtained from a soy sauce factory in Izu was charred with a burner and added at the sparging stage. This adds a woody, smoky aroma on top of the roasty character typical of a dark lager, resulting in a finish that also evokes a nostalgic sense of cherry wood. Visually, it has a solid dark black color, but the mouthfeel is lighter than you might expect. The softer carbonation is pleasant, and the bitterness fades away smoothly.

The flavor centers on roasted aroma, charred cherry-wood nuances, and a subtle cacao note that lingers in the finish. It is not too heavy, yet it leaves a strong impression, so it also works well with food. The official pairing suggestions include canapés with mascarpone cheese, sanzokuyaki-style duck loin, and tiramisu with vanilla ice cream.

The pub is a beer spot centered on craft beer, making it a good choice for people looking to compare different beers or discover limited releases. A beer like 'AGE AGE SAME AGE', which lets you enjoy the story behind it as well, stands out on the tap list. If you're having a drink in Mishima, it's fun to visit in search of these limited collaborations.
