Hop BroA cask pour of CBB BUD's 11th anniversary brew has arrived at Beer Tsukasa in Uji, Kyoto. What's more, it's a beer brewed together with Firestone Walker brewmaster Matt, so that's a pretty exciting story, isn't it?
MugiWait, a cask for the 11th anniversary really has that much special feeling? And brewed with someone famous too? That's the kind of thing that makes you want to drink it just from hearing the story!
Hop BroThe style is a modern American pale ale. The key point is that it doesn't lean only on flashy hop character, but is put together with a clear, dry finish.
MugiWhen you say modern, it sounds a little too stylish for me to understand! So basically, it's light and easy to drink, but still has plenty of aroma?
Hop BroExactly. The malt bill is simple, and the carbonation is on the higher side. On top of that, they use yeast with beta-lyase activity to bring out the aroma even more clearly.
MugiBeta-lyase activity? What is that! It sounds like a spell. What actually happens when you drink it?
Hop BroSimply put, the yeast's work makes it easier to bring out aromas like passion fruit and strawberry. It isn't just about strong hop flavor; that soft, floating aroma is what feels so nice.
MugiI see, that's the kind that gives you a soft burst of aroma first! If you can drink it on cask, I'm sure you can enjoy that even more!
Hop BroAnd the shop is in the calm setting of Uji Myoraku, so it's the perfect place to take your time choosing one glass. The fact that it's both a beer pub and a Bottle SHOP is great too.
MugiAnd if Instagram says 11:00-14:00, 16:00-21:30, then you can go both at lunch and at night! You'll probably mean to stop in briefly and end up staying way too long!
Hop BroToday, it's the kind of result that makes me want to say it's a cask that's just as expected. All right, Mugi, this is one we have to go drink.
MugiYeah, absolutely! I'm already in the mood to toast right now, and anyone who reads this will want a glass too!
Beer Tsukasa in Uji, Kyoto, announced on May 12 that it would be serving a guest beer. This cask is one brewed as CBB BUD's 11th anniversary commemorative beer, and is said to be a rare cask made together with Firestone Walker brewmaster Matt.
The beer style is a modern American pale ale. It is designed with a clear, dry body, a simple malt bill, and a higher level of carbonation, while yeast with beta-lyase activity brings out aromas of passion fruit and strawberry. Rather than relying only on flashy hop character, it achieves both a lifted aroma and an easy-drinking finish, and being able to enjoy it from the cask is a welcome bonus.
As its name suggests, Beer Tsukasa is a beer pub, but it also functions as a Bottle SHOP. In the calm setting of Uji Myoraku, one of its charms is being able to take your time choosing a single tap pour and savor it. Its Instagram also lists business hours of 11:00-14:00 and 16:00-21:30, making it easy to stop by either in the day or in the evening. This time, true to the phrase "just as expected today," it is the kind of drink you want to check out as a cask poured at exactly the timing the shop aimed for.
