SHIKI BEER Prepares to Tap YELLOW Brewed with Homegrown Fresh Hops
SHIKI BEER, a brewpub in Fujimi, Saitama, announced on Instagram that its beer YELLOW, made with homegrown fresh hops, is finished and should be on tap soon.
Hop BroToday's topic is SHIKI BEER's YELLOW, a new beer from the brewpub in Mizuho-dai, Fujimi, Saitama, made with homegrown fresh hops and apparently already finished.
MugiWhat? Homegrown hops means they're not just making beer at the shop, they're actually growing the hops too? That's way past school festival level!
Hop BroExactly, and because it says brewed with fresh hops, they're likely using hops before drying, which can give you greener aromas and a juicy, vivid bitterness.
MugiWait, fresh hops sounds like something crunchy enough for a salad. This is still a drink, right?
Hop BroStill a drink, yes. What you get is just-picked aroma rising from the glass, sometimes grassy or herbal. Not crunchy, but definitely harvest-festival energy.
MugiOoh! And if it's at the ready for the tap stage, that means we're basically one step away from drinking it, right? I need to emotionally prepare for a line.
Hop BroThat's how I read it too. Their Instagram makes it sound like it's in almost pouring condition now. The style and ABV still aren't listed, but that just makes it more intriguing.
MugiHold on, you said brewpub so casually. How is that different from a regular brewery? My brain just fused a beer factory with a bar.
Hop BroThat's basically it. A brewpub is brew and drink in one, where the place making the beer is also the place serving it. With SHIKI BEER, you can feel the whole chain from growing to pouring.
MugiWow, that really sounds like a local pint. It feels like the air of Mizuho-dai might end up in the glass too, and now I really want to go.
Hop BroAnd YELLOW will probably be the kind of beer where the hop character comes through clearly. Even without full specs, a local release like this makes me want to verify it firsthand.
MugiI'm done, I want a pour now! Let's meet near Mizuho-dai Station and hold an official YELLOW green-and-fresh tasting session!
SHIKI BEER, a brewpub in Fujimi, Saitama, posted an update on Instagram about YELLOW. The brewery wrote that the beer uses homegrown fresh hops and that it has already been finished, adding that they would like to connect it to the tap soon.
As a brewpub, SHIKI BEER offers a direct line from brewing to serving. That makes this release especially fitting: the same place that grows the hops is also where the beer is brewed and poured. With fresh hops in the recipe, YELLOW is likely to show the bright, green, freshly harvested character that beer fans look for in seasonal hop-driven releases.
The post does not provide detailed style or ABV information, but it clearly signals that the beer is ready and close to being served. For drinkers who enjoy beers with a strong sense of place and a visible connection to the ingredients, YELLOW is a notable one to watch.
