MugiWait, it's a brewery that's entering for the first time? That alone makes it feel special, and it already has me excited!
Hop BroExactly. And the flagship is Primary Barrels' “Funmaru.” It's a fresh hop saison from a brewery in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto.
MugiWhat even is fresh hop? I always picture hops as being dried, so are these fresh-from-the-field hops?
Hop BroGood question. Because they use hops as soon as possible after harvest, the beer keeps that fresh, vivid aroma. “Funmaru” uses hops grown together with Mr. Miyasai, so the joint cultivation with a farmer part is pretty exciting too.
MugiOh wow! And if it's not too grassy, it sounds easy to drink. With that citrus aroma and saison fruitiness, it already feels stylish!
Hop BroExactly. The post also said the grassy character is kept moderate, while the citrus and crisp finish stand out. It has that light, saison-like feel, so it's the kind of beer you can keep sipping thanks to its crisp finish.
MugiAnd there are six beers on tap that day, right? There's Kuro Label too, and some IPA styles, so it feels great for both beginners and regulars!
Hop BroThat's right. Kuro Label, Craftbank Brewery's Bank IPA, Bank Cold IPA, El Clasico, Bitter Bug, and Funmaru. It's a great lineup for side-by-side tasting, and the best part is being able to choose based on your mood.
MugiStopping by after work, starting with “Funmaru,” then comparing it with the IPAs sounds amazing! If I go saying I’m only having one drink tonight, there's no way that will happen!
Hop BroIt's easy to drop in because it's near the station, and you even get a chance to discover a new brewery. This is already pretty strong as a tonight's beer choice. Alright, I think I'm talking like Mugi and I are going out to drink for sure.
