Hop Brokaruizawa Q in Karuizawa is up to something interesting again. While showing the beers on tap inside the shop, it even brought up a four-way collaboration.
MugiWait, a four-way collaboration!? When that many breweries get together, it sounds less like a beer meeting and more like a beer summit!
Hop BroAnd the names involved are Swan Lake Beer, Yamorido, and Heiwa Craft. Just hearing those names makes the anticipation build.
MugiWhat, Album is the beer name? It sounds stylish, like a record jacket, but is it a drinkable album or what?
Hop BroExactly, the collaboration beer this time is Album. The style is ALT, and it has a solid malt backbone while staying food-friendly, so it's a pretty well-balanced beer.
MugiALT? I still don't really get what you mean by malt backbone. Does that mean you need biceps to drink it?
Hop BroNo biceps required. Here, it means the beer has a strong malt flavor and aroma. And at 5.0%, it's still easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! And with IBU 33, it sounds like you can enjoy it before the bitterness makes your face all wrinkly!
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness isn't overpowering, so it's designed to go well with food. That brewpub strength of a beer made to pair with meals really comes through.
MugiAnd if they also have plenty of house-brewed beers, choosing what to drink must be way too much fun. Just looking at a photo with five glasses lined up is enough to make me feel tipsy!
Hop BroIn Karuizawa's calm atmosphere, being able to compare collaborations and house brews is what makes it great. This is the kind of place that makes you want to go there to drink, not just stop by for a quick drink on the way.
MugiTotally! I'm in the mood to raise a toast in Karuizawa today. I definitely want to try Album!
