Hop BroAt GRILLMAN in Nagoya's Nishiki, two kegs were tapped on March 28, with Baird Brewing and DevilCraft Brewery both going on at the same time. It's the kind of announcement that makes beer fans stop in their tracks, especially when you can start drinking happily from lunchtime.
MugiWait, two kinds at once!? And in Nishiki, Nagoya, too? That sounds way too convenient for going out for drinks!
Hop BroExactly. And they open at 11:30, with the front fully open because the weather's nice. Drinking a keg while feeling the spring breeze is basically unfairly delicious.
MugiFull-open? What is that, the whole place wide open? It sounds like the beer might fly outside!
Hop BroIt means they keep the shop loosely open so you can enjoy it with a spring-like sense of openness. And the first one is Baird Brewing's "Temple Garden Yuzu Ale," where depth and complexity are layered with a yuzu aroma.
MugiA yuzu ale means a bright, fragrant aroma, right? "Temple Garden" sounds unexpectedly classy and nice!
Hop BroThat's right. It's not just the citrus character of yuzu; you can also pick up the malt body underneath and the nuances from the yeast. In other words, it has depth and complexity, which makes it interesting because it doesn't end with the aroma alone.
MugiWhoa, the technical terms are out! By malt body, you mean it has grainy umami? Sounds hard to explain, but the kind of thing you can tell once you drink it?
Hop BroThat's a pretty good understanding. The other one is DevilCraft Brewery's "The Devil In John's Brown," a medium-bodied American brown ale where the flavor changes as you drink it.
MugiA beer that changes!? Wait, its expression changes as you keep drinking? That's basically at the level of holding a conversation!
Hop BroThat's exactly the fun of it. At first you get toastiness, then sweetness and roast character, and finally the aftertaste changes the impression again. Since GRILLMAN is also a place that serves Japanese wine and cider, it should make for a fun tasting comparison kind of day.
MugiNow I really want to go! The freshness of yuzu and the richness of the brown ale, two perfect drinks from lunchtime kind of vibes. Just reading this makes my throat want a sip!
