Hop BroToday it’s about the new release from Hokkaido’s Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery: the bottle beer "Departure" is out.
MugiWhoa! The name already sounds like a movie! What does the new bottle Departure taste like?
Hop BroThe key point is that it uses Niupu-grown hops for the first time, with a refreshing mouthfeel and a gentle bitterness that comes in at the end.
MugiHuh? The way you say "design" makes it sound like a science lab all of a sudden! What even is a subtle bitterness design?
Hop BroBasically, it’s not about hitting hard with loud bitterness, but about a balanced flavor you can sip slowly with a meal.
MugiI get it! By the way, that phrase in the article, brewpub format, sounds super technical...
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a place-based experience where the brewery and the restaurant are integrated, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of the maker on site.
