Two Limited GREAT DANE BREWING Releases Arrive at Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store
At Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, two Brewmaster's Reserve beers from GREAT DANE BREWING have arrived. One is a fruit tripel made with cherries from Sagae, and the other is a barley wine with a mature character; both are 375 ml bottles, limited to 100 each, in a small-batch release.
Hop BroMugi-chan, two limited GREAT DANE BREWING releases have arrived at Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store. And both are 375 ml bottles, with only 100 of each available, so they are pretty rare.
MugiWhat! Only 100 bottles each? That sounds like a straight-up scramble. It feels like they'll disappear the moment they hit the shelf!
Hop BroFirst up is SAGAE CHERRY TRIPEL. It's a fruit tripel made with "Napoleon" cherries from Sagae, and the ABV is 14%. It also won the IBC2024 Gold Award.
MugiWhat's a tripel? The only thing getting across is the super intimidating name. Even though it's beer, it already has final-boss energy, right?
Hop BroPut simply, it's a strong Belgian-style beer. The fermentation-derived aroma is layered with the refreshing sweetness and subtle tartness of cherries, and long aging makes it turn rich and full-bodied.
MugiOhhh! Then the balance of sweetness and tartness should make it easy to drink. It looks cute, but with 14% alcohol, it's definitely going to hit hard!
Hop BroThe other one is BARLEY WINE. It's 13% ABV, and the malt sweetness and powerful body are joined by aromas like raisins and honey. It also won the IBC2025 Silver Award and the JGBA2026 Bronze Award.
MugiRaisins and honey? That's basically a winter feast. Even though it's beer, it already feels like dessert!
Hop BroAnd both come with dedicated boxes, so they're strong gift options too. I'm happy, from a shop-owner point of view, that Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store is the kind of place that really secures limited brews like this.
MugiNice, that's the perfect pre-Golden Week treat. Whether you open it slowly during the holiday or give it to someone as a gift, even the time spent deciding is fun.
Hop BroExactly. Since the quantity is small, checking early is the right move. Honestly, I'd chill the SAGAE CHERRY TRIPEL and raise the temperature a bit for the BARLEY WINE, then compare them slowly.
MugiMe too! I want to compare them right now. If this is waiting in Sendai Station East Exit, there's no reason not to stop by!
