Hop BroToday's headline is koko Genmai Ale. Harumi Beer Brewery just put a new beer from koko Brew TOKYO on tap.
MugiWait, guest brewery energy at Harumi? Getting another brewery's fresh release there is kind of exciting!
Hop BroAnd on Instagram it's introduced as Rice Craker Ale / 5.0%, a seasonal beer built around the toasty aroma of brown rice and malt.
MugiOhh, so seasonal beer means it's like a limited-time character who only appears this season?
Hop BroExactly, it's until the keg kicks. Not a core lineup beer, more like a drink-it-while-it's-here kind of pour.
MugiThe moment you say limited, I start speed-walking. So what does toasty brown rice taste like in beer?
Hop BroYou get malt toastiness layered with brown-rice aroma, and a little Maillard character in the profile.
MugiWhat is that! Maillard character sounds like chemistry class crashed happy hour!
Hop BroFair, but it really just means that warm, appetizing fresh-baked savoriness you get from toasted bread or crackers.
MugiOkay, that's absolutely my lane. And Harumi Beer Brewery is a brewpub with visible brewing too, right? That's dinner and a show.
Hop BroRight, it's in Harumi, Chuo City, and the food and wine lineup makes it easy to settle in. Hearing about that flexible tap list already makes me want a pint.
MugiThen it's settled. Before it disappears, I want one pour before it's gone, and I might fight you for the first sip!
