Hop BroToday it's a story about a coffee-scented drink introduced by Handa Ginzan Brewery in Koori Town, Fukushima Prefecture.
MugiWait, a beer with coffee in it? That's already way too stylish!
Hop BroIt's called Uwamachi Coffee Stout, a dark beer made with home-roasted beans from the long-established coffee brand Gourmet.
MugiWhat is that? I always think of stout as black and bitter, but can it really get along with coffee?
Hop BroIt can, because stout has the toasty aroma of roasted malt, so it blends well when combined with the scent of coffee.
MugiOhh! And if it's only a 5-minute walk from Koori Station, it's the kind of place I'd want to drop by and do a tasting flight!
Hop BroExactly. At Kamimachi CHEERS, there's also a 4-beer tasting set, and the lineup ranges widely from Ohrin Pale Ale and Handa Ginzan IPA to the peach-based Akatsuki.
MugiWow, having such a wide range of flavors is the best. I love that you can choose based on your mood, from fruity styles to IPA!
