Hop BroIn Yokohama's Hanasaki-cho, Highbury's regular offering now includes Gunners Brewing's "We Trust." And the fact that you can compare NitroVer. and CaskVer. is pretty thrilling, isn't it?
MugiWait! The same beer has two versions? Being able to compare them side by side sounds like fun from the very start!
Hop BroExactly. It's a brown ale with ABV 4.9%, and its appeal is the toasty malt aroma and calm drinkability. It's the kind of beer that suits slow, careful enjoyment at a place like Highbury.
MugiBrown ale isn't just about the color, right? When I hear brown ale, I only really picture how it looks!
Hop BroIt's more than appearance. It often has dark-malt nuances, with caramel-like sweetness and a hint of roast that gently comes through. It's not flashy, but it's the kind of beer that becomes quietly delicious.
MugiOhhh! So CaskVer. feels like a classy adult way to drink it? Just the sound of CaskVer. feels like a scene from a movie!
Hop BroThat image is pretty close. The charm of Cask is that you can slowly enjoy its cask-like character; the foam is gentle and the aroma is calm. The more slowly you drink it, the more its appeal comes through.
MugiThen Nitro is the exact opposite? I imagine the foam kind of goes whoosh, but is it really about a smooth mouthfeel?
Hop BroThat's right. NitroVer. uses nitrogen for fine, creamy foam, giving it a silky texture in the mouth. In other words, Cask is more "thoughtful and mellow," while Nitro is more "easy and smooth," which makes the comparison interesting.
MugiHighbury doesn't just let you drink beer, it lets you enjoy the difference between casks too. I can see why beer lovers gather there like in a cave, just like the name says!
Hop BroExactly. With We Trust as a regular offering, it's great to be able to savor Gunners Brewing's appeal in Yokohama. Right now, I'm thinking I'll start with Cask, and you can start with Nitro, Mugi-chan.
MugiSounds good! Then I'll go with a side-by-side tasting tonight, and Hop-nii will be on commentary duty with all the details. Just reading this makes me want to order We Trust!
