Hop BroTaru Taru, the beer pub in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, is featuring OHLOY Brewing’s "Luna". It sounds like a black beer you could actually drink every day.
MugiWait, black beer always sounded like a heavyweight champ to me! Dark Lager? What is that!
Hop BroIt keeps the dark malt character, but with that lager snap, so it lands crisp yet dark instead of heavy.
Mugi"Crisp yet dark" is already a brain pretzel! And Cold Steeping sounds like a science fair!
Hop BroThey soak the dark malt in water the day before brewing. Basically it’s the cold-brew coffee method, which softens those sharp acidic edges.
MugiOooh! So it’s still black beer, but more like a smooth-bodied pour than a punch in the face?
Hop BroExactly. Then they use Merkur from Germany, Saaz from the Czech Republic, and a clean lager yeast for cool fermentation, so it stays balanced.
MugiMerkur, Saaz, cool fermentation... your explanation just enrolled me in beer college! But if it’s easy with food, I’m following.
Hop BroThat’s the key. Since the aroma and bitterness don’t get rowdy, if Taru Taru has it on as a guest beer, first pint is Luna for me.
MugiThat’s unfair, now I want it too! If I’m in Takamatsu, I’m heading to Taru Taru for a Luna toast immediately.
Taru Taru, a beer pub at 2-5-5 Kawaramachi in Takamatsu, posted about Luna from OHLOY Brewing (@ohloybrewing) on Instagram. The post describes it as a Dark Lager and frames it as a smooth, everyday black beer.
The recipe uses cold steeping for the dark malts, which helps keep harsh acidity in check while maintaining a clean, smooth body. Merkur and Saaz are used for hopping, and the beer is slowly fermented with a clean lager yeast. The result is a black lager that stays light on its feet and works well with food.
That fits Taru Taru’s style as a compact beer pub where you can drop in for a casual drink. For drinkers looking for a lager-leaning dark beer, Luna is an easy one to keep in mind.
