Hop BroOver at Saiougauma in Kobe's Sannomiya, they've just tapped MAHOWBREW's Draupnir as a guest beer, and that is absolutely worth talking about.
MugiWait, an Okinawan brewery showing up in Kobe? That's a beer road trip in one glass!
Hop BroAnd the style is a Märzen malt build. It uses Munich Type 2, Pilsner, and Vienna malts for that rich, rounded malt depth.
MugiWhat is that! You went full beer wizard already. What does malt build even mean?
Hop BroSimple version: it's how the brewer shapes the beer's backbone with malt. Here it creates a soft sweet base that keeps the whole pint smooth and easygoing.
MugiOhhh, so instead of loud hop fireworks, this is a slow-sipping lager you can really settle into?
Hop BroExactly. The hops are Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, so expect gentle noble-hop aroma rather than anything flashy. And at 24 IBU, the bitterness stays pretty mellow.
MugiNoble hops? Why does that sound like the aristocrats of hops wearing tiny capes?
Hop BroThat is honestly not far off. This beer leans on clean structure and balance, and with a smooth 6.0% ABV, it could disappear faster than you'd expect.
MugiThat sounds perfect for a night in Kobe! At Saiougauma, a guest pour like this feels impossible to ignore.
Hop BroThat's the best part of a good beer pub. Alongside the regular lineup, you get a once-in-a-while keg that makes the visit feel special.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's go find Draupnir and give that malt depth the most serious test possible: drinking it immediately.
