Hop BroHey, KANZASHI, a coffee dark lager, has appeared at GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo, Ehime.
MugiWhoa! Beer and coffee together - it's like morning and night arrived at the same time, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: from BRANCH COFFEE's beans, they chose the Colombian La Hojeria.
MugiLa Hojeria sounds seriously legit! But what exactly makes a dark lager "dark"?
Hop BroIt's less about being dark and more like a crisp lager with the toasty aroma of roasted malt.
MugiI see! And with prune-like aromas, a coffee with a fruity character sounds intriguing!
Hop BroExactly. They layer the sweetness and richness of malt over the accent of dark-roasted beans, finishing it with a light drinking feel.
MugiThen even if it looks heavy, maybe you could actually drink it pretty easily! Being able to enjoy it like iced coffee is the best!
Hop BroThe release is moving too: early sale at PREP ROOM from April 30, TAP ROOM from May 2, and even 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs are available.
MugiIt's great to see such a thoughtful collaboration in Saijo; I want to drink it now and head straight to the taproom!
GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, has announced its coffee dark lager "KANZASHI." Working with BRANCH COFFEE, the brewery says it selected beans from Colombia's "La Hojeria" from among several candidates.
