BRIGHT BLUE BREWING, Upside-Down Mt. Fuji Reflected in the Rice Fields and the Weekend Tap List
BRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, is sharing its weekend hours alongside a view of upside-down Mt. Fuji reflected in the rice fields just after planting. The tap list was also unveiled, featuring house-brewed standouts such as Fresh Hop Beer and sake lees rice ale.
Hop BroToday it's BRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Yamanashi's Fujiyoshida, right? They're posting weekend info together with the upside-down Mt. Fuji view reflected in the rice fields just after planting, and honestly, it's so picturesque it almost feels unfair.
MugiWait, what? Mt. Fuji is reflected in the rice fields? That's already enough to get you tipsy before the beer even starts, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. And the lineup is great too. There's Fresh Hop Beer with "Orecchi no Fresh Hop Beer," plus sake lees rice ale and even mango sour ale. It combines a sense of the season with a playful spirit.
MugiOhhh! But what's different about fresh hop beer compared to regular hops? Suddenly hops sound like freshly picked vegetables!
Hop BroGood catch. They use hops right after harvest, so the beer tends to show more greenness and juiciness. Compared with dried hops, the aroma feels more raw, like the air of the field itself has been sealed into the beer.
MugiWhoa, I want to try that! And the name sake lees rice ale already sounds like it has a soft Japanese aroma to it, which makes me curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It has the gentle umami of sake lees and stays light, as a rice ale should. On top of that, there are also jalapeño saison and spice ale, so the lineup has a wide range of sweetness, heat, and roasted character.
MugiHold on, they put jalapeño in there too!? Wait, are beers really allowed to be that free?
Hop BroBeing free is what craft beer is all about. This time there's also the fruitiness of mango and the calmness of brown ale, and the bottles include "Yoshida no Udon Beer," with only a few left, so it really leans into Fujiyoshida's local character.
MugiWow, it's packed with local flavor! And the weekend hours start at 10 a.m. too, so it's the kind of place that makes you want to go from morning.
Hop BroAnd on Friday, May 29 it's special hours from 10:00 to 17:00, while the 30th and 31st are regular hours, with a new release planned for the following day. Plus, you can also drink it at @va_tout and @fujicraftbeers, so there's the fun of following it around too.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just hearing a drink at the foot of Mt. Fuji makes me want to go so badly! I want to look at the scenery, check the tap list, and finish with a beer!
Hop BroRight? On a day like this, watching upside-down Mt. Fuji with a drink in hand is about as luxurious as it gets. Mugi, are you starting with the fresh hop?
MugiI am! I'm also curious about the sake lees rice ale, and Hop Brother, you're definitely going to try them all, aren't you?
