New Arrivals at SQUIRREL FOREST from Six Breweries Including Burnt Mill
The beer pub SQUIRREL FOREST in Nagano City has announced its latest packaged beer arrivals. The lineup includes beers from Burnt Mill Brewery, Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel!, VERTERE, NOMCRAFT Brewing, Atsumi Peninsula Brewery, and Amakuuku, with additions such as large bottles suited to food pairings, Belgian White, and ESB.
Hop BroThe new arrivals at SQUIRREL FOREST in Nagano City are a really interesting lineup. Burnt Mill Brewery, Dieu Du Ciel!, VERTERE, NOMCRAFT, Atsumi Peninsula Brewery, and even Amakuuku are all here, so the shop feels a little livelier today.
MugiWhoa! Six breweries arriving at once? The shelves sound like a party venue! With that much on display, I might get drunk just deciding where to start!
Hop BroThe first things to watch are Burnt Mill Brewery's Pintle and FOG, right? Their Pale Ales and Hazy Pale Ales have such clean structure, and they handle hop aroma really well, not just bitterness.
MugiHuh? So does Hazy Pale Ale mean something blurry? Now I'm not even sure whether we're talking about the appearance or the taste!
Hop BroIt's about the look too, but the star is really the haze and aroma. It's a style with a cloudy appearance that brings out the fruity side of hops, and because the bitterness doesn't feel too sharp, it's easy to drink.
MugiI see! Then Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel!'s Blanche Du Paradis catches my eye too! Belgian White sounds so refined that it feels like I should sit up straighter the moment I drink it!
Hop BroGood eye. This time, there are large bottles suited to food pairings for the first time in a while, and with Blanche Du Paradis, Voyageur Des Brumes, and even an ESB-like finish in the mix, the pairing possibilities with food are especially appealing.
MugiESB again! What exactly is ESB? The name already sounds strong! And if it's suited to meals, it's like the honor student of izakaya beers!
Hop BroESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, and its appeal is the malty richness and refined bitterness. Add in NOMCRAFT's Lager and Irish Stout, VERTERE's Hydrangea and Viburnum, and even Amakuuku's Snowflake 2025, and the range for tasting side by side is incredibly wide.
MugiWow, that's basically a tasting paradise! Before choosing my first drink in Nagano, I have to check Now On Tap and hold a strategy meeting about where to start tonight!
Hop BroExactly. The right move is to check the latest taps first. In this well-balanced shop, being able to enjoy imported classics alongside distinctive domestic brews means tonight's first pint is already impossible to wait for.
