MugiWait, a pilsner and West Coast? That name already sounds like the cosmos is overloaded.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It keeps the easy-drinking lightness of a pilsner as its base, while really bringing out the outline of the aroma.
MugiSeriously! So it’s not that the hops are too strong, but that it’s all about balance?
Hop BroExactly. Using Mosaic and Simcoe, and without relying on DDH, it’s exploring a harmony with the malt character.
MugiDDH again! That sounds like some super move, but what does it stand for?
Hop BroIt stands for Double Dry Hopping. Roughly speaking, it’s a method of adding hops after fermentation to increase the aroma.
MugiOhh! So UCHU PILS is brightly aromatic but still drinks clean and crisp?
Hop BroExactly. You can really see Uchu Brewing’s character, based in Hokuto, Yamanashi, in both its worldview and its recipe design.
MugiAnd it started in 2018, with taprooms in Kobuchizawa and Toranomon too? That’s cosmic scale commitment!
Hop BroA beer like this isn’t just about hype. What makes it strong is that after one sip, you want another glass.
MugiYeah, I’m totally in I-want-to-drink-UCHU-PILS mode now. Let’s start with a toast!
