Mizonokuchi Brewery Starts Selling 15L Kegs of Blueberry Sour "Flatwoods"
Mizonokuchi Brewery in Kawasaki, Kanagawa has begun selling 15L kegs of the Blueberry Sour "Flatwoods," which had previously been offered first at its taproom, on its business-use e-commerce site. This beer is defined by its fruity character and herbal notes, combining blueberry puree with rosemary and thyme.
Hop BroKawasaki’s Mizonokuchi Brewery has put the taproom-first blueberry sour "Flatwoods" up for business-use e-commerce in 15L kegs. Restaurants should definitely take note.
MugiWhoa! 15L keg sales sounds really practical, doesn’t it? It feels like something you can just put straight to use at the shop, and that’s exciting!
Hop BroExactly. "Flatwoods" is a Blueberry Sour, ABV 5.8%, and the hop is Audacia. I like how the tartness is built around blueberry’s sweet-and-sour character.
MugiHuh, does the hop really play that much of a lead role? Audacia sounds so strong, but what exactly is it doing?
Hop BroThe thing is, it’s more of an aroma support role than the star. The key here is the herbal character from pairing blueberry puree with rosemary and thyme.
MugiWhat! It has rosemary and thyme too? This is starting to sound less like beer and more like overhearing a stylish appetizer conversation!
Hop BroI know, but it still tastes like beer. The description says it has a moderate acidity, isn’t too heavy, and leaves a juicy fruit character with an elegant finish.
MugiOhhh! If it has a light, not-too-heavy finish, even sour beginners could go for it, and it sounds easy to pair with food!
Hop BroAnd Mizonokuchi Brewery has a taproom with up to 13 taps, so being able to enjoy it alongside guest beers and food is a strong point too.
MugiWow, that’s definitely one that would be amazing on site! Hearing it’s also being served at the taproom makes me want to go right now!
Hop BroThen let’s head out for the next glass and check out that blueberry sweet-tartness. I’m getting restless just thinking about the keg, so this is one we have to drink.
MugiAgreed! If they’re calling it an elegant finish, I won’t just want one more sip - I’ll want to chase after the whole keg’s presence!
