Susukino Ale STAND Introduces Recommended Items: Verger Apple ALE and The Old Grey Brewery
The beer pub Susukino Ale STAND in Susukino, Sapporo, introduced recommended items on Instagram. The post featured Sapporo Brewing's Verger Apple ALE and two beers from The Old Grey Brewery: Kuroyuri Style / Dunkel Weizen and Shiroyuri Style / Weizen.
Hop BroThe post from Susukino Ale STAND, a beer pub in Susukino, Sapporo, is interesting. They were posting recommendations on Instagram, and this time they had a fruit-forward beer and a wheat-beer comparison side by side.
MugiWhoa! That's the kind of post that makes you want to drink just from the shop's feed. And Susukino is right in the middle of the city, so it feels almost unfair how easy it would be to drop by!
Hop BroOne of the main highlights is Sapporo Brewing's Verger Apple ALE. It's a fruit beer made with apples from an orchard in Yoichi, Hokkaido, and the key point is that it puts apple aroma and sweetness at the forefront.
MugiFruit beer can sometimes taste too much like apple juice, right? If I was expecting beer and it was just sweet, I'd be surprised!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Because it has the backbone of an ale, it's not just sweet. The aroma is bright with apple, but when you drink it, the malt base is clearly there, so it can lean either toward dessert or toward a beer for a meal.
MugiI see! If there are photos of it poured into a glass, it's easier to picture the color. It is hard to imagine from the can alone, but the look alone is enough to get you excited!
Hop BroThe other beers are The Old Grey Brewery's Kuroyuri Style / Dunkel Weizen and Shiroyuri Style / Weizen. Even though they're both Weizen styles, the former is dark and the latter is the classic bright style.
MugiWait, what's a Dunkel Weizen? Is that some kind of spell? I've heard of Weizen too, but what's the actual difference!
Hop BroBasically, the common thread is the soft character of wheat. Weizen is a style that cleanly brings out the smoothness and aroma from wheat, while Dunkel Weizen adds the depth of roasted malt, making both the color and flavor feel much more settled.
MugiSo that's why it's fun to compare them side by side! The bright one and the dark one would probably show huge differences in personality if you tasted them one after the other!
Hop BroExactly. Susukino Ale STAND feels like a place where you can keep up with what's happening in craft beer right now. Since you can imagine both taking home a can and having a beer poured in the shop, it feels like the first drink has already started before you even choose.
MugiI can't take it anymore. It's not even just a reference for choosing from the menu anymore; my throat is already reacting! Verger Apple ALE, Kuroyuri Style / Dunkel Weizen, and Shiroyuri Style / Weizen all sound amazing today!
Hop BroThen let's just say the answer is a toast in Susukino. Whether you go for the fruit-forward apple beer or the wheat-beer comparison, either way it's the kind of lineup that makes you want to grab a pint right now.
