Hop BroToday’s tapped at Whity Umeda news is pretty hot. At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, the CRAFTROCK BREWING and LOSTAGE collaboration has landed.
MugiWhoa! A collab with a rock band sounds like the beer could start making noise! What’s it called? I’m curious!
Hop BroThe star is WAKAKUSA [NZ Pils]. It’s a beer that layers the image of Mt. Wakakusa with the atmosphere of LOSTAGE’s song "HARVEST". That’s a classy move, right?
MugiWhat?! NZ Pils sounds like a code name! Isn’t that a model number for a new game console?
Hop BroEasy answer: it means a New Zealand-style pilsner. It uses Czech Saaz and New Zealand Motueka, bringing out an elegant noble-hop aroma while finishing dry and light.
MugiHuh, an elegant yet light beer sounds super easy to drink. Hop bro, you casually dropped another fancy term there, but what are noble hops?
Hop BroNoble hops are traditional hops with a gentle aroma. They don't go wild; they neatly support the pilsner's crisp refreshment, so it feels like you could keep drinking them forever.
MugiOhh, I get it! Then the next one, Pa Pa Pa Pineapple, already sounds like it’s bursting with energy just from the name. Hearing pineapple flavor makes me laugh!
Hop BroExactly. FILL BREWING's sweet pineapple aroma and bright acidity are the key points. It’s the kind of beer you can gulp down on a hot day, and that contrast with WAKAKUSA’s quiet goodness is what makes it great.
MugiThat contrast is fun! With a two-beer tasting, today you can bounce between the mellow crowd and the energetic crowd.
Hop BroIt’s right by the station, and there are Italian snacks and kiln-fired pizza too, so the reasons to drink are piling up. Take your time with WAKAKUSA, then refresh yourself with Pa Pa Pa Pineapple; today’s the kind of day that makes you want a beer together.
Two Beers on Tap
A new lineup of guest beers has arrived at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda. The centerpiece this time is CRAFTROCK BREWING × LOSTAGE "WAKAKUSA [NZ Pils]". Created in collaboration with LOSTAGE, the rock band based in Nara, it is presented as a beer that layers in the image of the song "HARVEST" and Mt. Wakakusa.
WAKAKUSA is an NZ pils that uses Czech Saaz and New Zealand Motueka to express a gentle, elegant noble-hop aroma. It is said to have been brewed with a dry, light finish in mind, with drinkability prioritized over flashiness. Even with a music-inspired backstory, it stands out for being styled in a way that makes it easy to keep sipping.
The other beer is FILL BREWING "Pa Pa Pa Pineapple". It is introduced as a beer with the sweet aroma of pineapple and a refreshing acidity, making it a good choice for hot weather. It is also the kind of beer you can keep drinking easily, so it should suit anyone looking for a crisp, refreshing pint.
