Hop BroThere’s a tap update worth talking about in Yokohama: Craftbeer Sloth House just opened Minoh Beer’s "Black Tea Bitter."
MugiWait, what! Black Tea Bitter sounds like beer crashing into afternoon tea!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a UK-style Bitter built on a classic English base, then layered with Earl Grey tea leaves.
MugiWhoa, Earl Grey tea leaves in beer? That sounds like a trap for tea fans and I would absolutely fall for it.
Hop BroFlavor-wise, it’s nicely balanced: soft malt richness up front, gentle bitterness underneath, and bright bergamot floating over the top.
MugiHold on, too much beer wizardry at once. And what is IBU 13 supposed to mean?
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale, so very gentle bitterness is the simple version. Plus it’s 4.5% ABV, so it drinks easy.
MugiOkay, I’m in. If it’s good with food, that means it can stay with me from first bite to last bite.
Hop BroExactly. It’s amber, unfiltered, and best around 6 to 8°C, basically a slow-sipping pint for a calm beer pub session.
MugiI can already see it: sniff the aroma, take one sip, and then my just one glass plan disappears immediately.
Hop BroThat’s very possible. It has Minoh Beer’s easygoing charm, so it feels inviting instead of intimidating from the first pour.
MugiSettled then. Now I really want a bergamot-scented bitter and my throat is fully ready for it.
