Hop BroAt Craft Beer Shop Triangle in Kobe's Hyogo Ward, four Manchin Brewing beers have lined up. From standards to curveballs, the lineup already feels like it's trying to get you to drink.
MugiWhat, four labels are appearing? With that many, I wouldn't know which one to drink first!
Hop BroStart with NEW COLONY. It's a Farmhouse Ale and a long-awaited return for the flagship, with a simple malt base topped by yeast-driven fruitiness and clove-like notes.
MugiClove? That's the yeast-derived aroma thing? This is suddenly sounding like a bakery!
Hop BroGood catch. Clove is a spice-like aroma, and when it mixes with that bright yeast character, it gives you a farmhouse feel. Not a country barn, but more like a rustic elegance.
MugiI think I get it! Then the next hoppy lager sounds easy for a beginner like me!
Hop BroExactly. WORKINGMANS TRUE FRIEND is a Dry Hopped Lager with juicy notes from Nelson Sauvin and Motueka, and a crisp, clean finish that feels great.
MugiA lager that's dry-hopped? The name alone is confusing! But juicy and crisp sounds like a very busy kind of deliciousness!
Hop BroBusy, but fun. And then YAKI-IMO ALE comes in and suddenly it's all seasonal sweetness and toastiness. Using Akeno Kintoki, Beni Haruka, and Silk Sweet too - that's luxurious.
MugiWait, beer made with roasted sweet potatoes!? Full-on sweet potato vibes? My brain can't keep up - is it dessert or beer?
Hop BroAnd DAIKON FARMHOUSE ALE uses Asao daikon. The idea of turning a local daikon that is sweet even raw into a farmhouse ale really stood out in Triangle's introduction.
MugiNice that you can enjoy local ingredients at a Kobe shop. It feels like drinking the atmosphere of the place, and that's really lovely!
Hop BroExactly. A place where you can meet tastes you've never known is the real joy of a beer pub. Today, do we go after NEW COLONY first, or maybe start with the roasted sweet potato one? At this point, just deciding means we have to go drink!
MugiYeah, I totally want to go now! It feels like mandatory tasting side-by-side, and I want to try all four at Triangle!
