Hop BroA new pale lager called "Plainness" has come out from GORA BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSE in Hakone-Yumoto.
MugiWhoa! The name already feels so relaxed. What does Plainness taste like?
Hop BroIt’s a Pale Lager, and the ABV is 4.5%. Light, yes, but the key is that it’s not just thin.
MugiABV means how strong the alcohol is, right? If it’s 4.5%, that sounds like it’s really focused on easy drinkability!
Hop BroExactly. And the nice thing is the elegant white-flower aroma that gently comes through from the German hops.
MugiA white-flower aroma? For beer, that suddenly sounds like an elegant perfume!
Hop BroBut that’s just the start. The mouthfeel is clean and free of rough edges, and the finish is designed to make you want the next sip.
MugiWait, a beer that makes you want the next sip? That’s a dangerous one! That’s basically infinite loop warning territory!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it’s a brewpub at the gateway to Hakone, where you can enjoy beer brewed with water from Mt. Hakone together with seafood and Napoli pizza.
MugiPizza and beer on a trip sounds amazing! And if they even have a free shuttle bus, there’s no reason not to stop by.
Hop BroRather than being flashy, it feels like a beer that goes well with everyday meals, and it’s a really nice finish as a beer to pair with food.
MugiYeah, if I find it in Hakone, I definitely want to drink it! This is totally a travel treat beer!
