Hop BroHey Mugi, Nagara Kikorin Brewery is setting up at the Oedo Beer Festival from May 27 to 31. It’s a brewery from Nagara Town in Chiba, and the fact that it even has a logger-inspired backstory is pretty exciting.
MugiWhat, logger-inspired? That’s wild! The name Nagara Kikorin Brewery already has me curious, so what kinds of beers are coming?
Hop BroThe star is, of course, Alt, and alongside it there’ll be Meitsunagi White and Fig Stout, too. Being able to compare staple and limited beers all at once is the real joy of an event like this.
MugiWhen I hear Alt, I’m like, wait, doesn’t that mean old? I only vaguely know what Alt even is!
Hop BroAlt is a traditional German-style beer. It’s top-fermented, but it has a cool, crisp feel and goes well with food. The way they’re conscious of traditional German-style brewing is very much in line with Nagara Kikorin’s earnest approach.
MugiOhhh! Then the tasting comparison sounds fun. A six-beer comparison set sounds like a beer lover’s dream, doesn’t it?
Hop BroAnd it comes with freshly grilled sausages, so it’s a perfect match with beer. Pair a beer with a solid, full-bodied flavor and the savoriness of meat, and you won’t want to stop.
MugiWait, wait, Fig Stout sounds sweet, but it’s a dark beer!? Fig Stout sounds interesting just from imagining it!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. When the roasted character of a stout is layered with fruity notes, the depth of flavor really opens up. And with a lighter beer like Meitsunagi White in the mix, the whole flow comes together nicely.
MugiI see, it really feels like a sip from the satoyama. If I drank it at the venue, it’d definitely be delicious. I want to start with the Alt, sausage in hand!
Hop BroThen I’d weave in a Meitsunagi White, and finish with Fig Stout. It’s the kind of booth that makes you want to raise a glass at the venue.
