MugiWait, a beer with a blue color? That alone already makes me curious!
Hop BroIt’s a fruit ale, and the alcohol content is 4.5%. Both the look and the taste are perfect for summer.
MugiIs a fruit ale more like a sweet juice, or is it still really beer?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it has a distinct lemony acidity, but also a light sweetness, so it goes down really smoothly.
MugiOhhh! If the bitterness isn’t too strong, it seems easy for people who don’t like beer to get into!
Hop BroExactly. And Craftsman Sendai has 31 draft beers, so the appeal of the guest beers is really strong.
MugiThirty-one kinds? That’s a lot! It’s the kind of place where you see the menu and instantly have a can’t-choose situation!
Hop BroBut Great Blue goes well with Italian dishes made with Tohoku ingredients, and the best part is that it’s easy to pair with appetizers.
MugiSo you could have one drink after work, or enjoy it with a meal! And it’s within walking distance of Sendai Station, which is great!
Hop BroYeah, if you’re looking for a beer with a seasonal feel, this is a pretty strong contender. It makes me want to go out and get a head start on summer tonight.
MugiIt’s decided! This is the kind of beer that lifts your mood, so I want to go drinking together!
