Hop BroBreaking news! Saien Microbrewery with kitchen in Morioka, Iwate, posted on March 16 to announce the return after a stockout.
MugiWait, that popular one? But why couldn't they serve it before? I want to know the reason it suddenly disappeared!
Hop BroThe explanation given is that it had been scarce for a while because the cyberattack on Asahi caused disruptions on the distribution side.
MugiWhat is that! And anyway, Pilsner Urquell sounds intense just from the name... Who exactly is Pilsner Urquell?
Hop BroIt's a Czech lager that originated in Pilsen, Czech Republic, and its appeal is the malt richness, sharp bitterness, and clean finish.
MugiOhhh! Just hearing malt richness and crispness makes the glass in my head start chilling itself!
Hop BroAnd the place is a renovated location, so it's a pub-brewery format that also serves adventurous beers produced under Baeren Brewery's direction.
MugiSo it's not just about drinking, the food is serious too? In other words, it's a restaurant with a brewery!
Hop BroExactly. It's a brand a lot of people have been waiting for, so it's safest to check the tap status on social media before you go and head there early.
MugiWait, this info is too good... Just the fact that it's back on tap makes this such a fan-pleasing piece of news!
Hop BroThinking about a staple that's back after a long time, my throat is already in full lager mode. I want to go drink this.
MugiI want to toast right now too! Pilsner Urquell in Morioka, tonight's drink is decided!
