Hop BroFrom HOJO Brewing & Stays in Matsuyama, we’ve got A Stout You Can Drink Every Day. It’s the third release from their stout-focused "Stout After All" line, so they’re clearly bringing serious energy to this one.
MugiWait, even the name sounds gentle! You can drink it every day? That sounds hard to believe for a dark beer.
Hop BroIt’s true. It’s a 5.5% stout, and while it has the roasted aroma of dark malts, the char and astringency are kept pretty restrained.
MugiAstringency? You mean that sharp, puckering dryness in your mouth?
Hop BroExactly. The point here is that they’ve kept that in check, so the finish is crisp, with just a hint of sweetness left behind.
MugiOhhh! I always thought dark beer was heavy, but this sounds like it’s friendly even for people who don’t like dark beer.
Hop BroThat’s right. And HOJO Brewing & Stays is known as the brewery closest to the sea, with a taproom where you can drink while looking out at the ocean.
MugiWhat? That’s almost unfair! And they even have a whole-house guesthouse on the brewery’s second floor? Now I want to stay there!
Hop BroAnd this one comes in a set of six bottles for 4,200 yen. It’s a convenient size for relaxing at home or pairing with dinner.
MugiI already really want to try it... Whether you drink it by the sea or at home, it feels like a beer that fits into everyday life.
Hop BroThen tonight’s settled. If we toast with this gentle stout, I’m sure we’ll both be smiling.
