Hop BroAt Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi, March 27 brings two new kegs. The fruit-forward beer from Nan Shinshu Beer and Minoh Beer’s stronger IPA are the headliners.
MugiWait, two new kegs? So today is basically a lucky day!? What kind of beer is the apple one!
Hop BroNan Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Ringo Sanningumi ver is a happoshu made with apples from Shinshu’s Ina Valley, and its bright aroma and acidity get along really well with the hops.
MugiGet along with the hops? What does that even mean! Does happoshu and hops make that much of a difference?
Hop BroBasically, the sweet-tart apple character layers with the hop aroma, so it doesn’t turn into juice and still keeps a proper beer feel. It’s a bottle where you can clearly taste the fruit.
MugiOhhh! Then Minoh Beer’s Rockin' Osaru IPA sounds wild just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a punchier, 8.5% version of the classic Osaru IPA, with Centennial, Cascade, Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo bringing citrus and tropical fruit notes.
Mugi8.5% is already a pretty strong statement! Is this one coming with a lot of bitterness too?
Hop BroYeah, it has firm bitterness at its core, and since today’s lineup has 12 beers, it’s fun that you can choose from everything from Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ to Chimay Blue. And if you pair it with Hathor’s house-smoked dishes, it’s the kind of setup that could keep you going forever.
MugiAfter hearing that, I’m done for, I just want to raise a glass in Kyobashi! I’ll start with the apple beer, and Hop-san can go wild with the IPA!
