Hop BroKochi Campagne Brewery is putting out Konacchan Honey Mead on April 2. It's a very springlike brew that combines konatsu and honey from Okamune Farm.
MugiWhoa! Konatsu and honey already sounds delicious just from the name! And it's mead-style beer? What is that!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The style is a mead-style braggot. It's like a mead made with honey layered with beer elements, creating a balance between citrus aroma and sweetness.
MugiI've never even heard of braggot! It suddenly sounds like a spell, but is it basically sweet? Sour?
Hop BroTo put it simply, the point is that it's not just about sweetness. The refreshing aroma of konatsu, the subtle bitterness of the peel, and the soft sweetness of honey all come together to make it easy to drink.
MugiWow! At 4.0% alcohol, it sounds like something you could sip easily. It feels perfect for a spring afternoon!
Hop BroExactly. And since it's from a community-rooted brewery in Kami City, Kochi, I like how it really turns local agricultural products into beer.
MugiOkamune Farm is impressive too! Using off-grade konatsu and all that, it's cool how they don't waste ingredients!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. It's not just a collaboration; it's a distinctly Kochi brew born from the connection between producers and brewers.
MugiWow, just reading this makes my throat want a drink! I can't wait for the spring launch, and I definitely want to try this!
Hop BroSame here. Tonight, I already feel like having a drink while imagining the aroma of konatsu, and I can't help wanting to go look for a glass.
In Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, Kochi Campagne Brewery will begin selling its collaboration beer with Okamune Farm, "Konacchan Honey Mead," on April 2. Known for its TOSACO brand, the brewery continues to make beers that make use of local agricultural products, and once again attention is focused on this distinctly Kochi combination of ingredients.
A Drink That Makes the Most of Konatsu and Honey
"Konacchan Honey Mead" is a collaboration product made with konatsu from Okamune Farm. It is designed to combine the refreshing aroma of konatsu, the subtle bitterness derived from the peel, and the gentle sweetness of honey. The style is a mead-style braggot, and with an alcohol content of 4.0%, it balances citrus lightness with drinkability.
Its Connection with Okamune Farm
Okamune Farm is based in Aki City, Kochi Prefecture, where it produces and sells ornamental trees and flower seedlings, while also growing mangoes, lychees, konatsu, and more. In addition to shipping konatsu in season, the farm has also worked to use off-grade fruit as juice. By combining that approach to ingredient use with the brewery's ideas, this collaboration beer was created.
A Locally Rooted Beer from Kami City
Kochi Campagne Brewery is based in Kami City and promotes itself as a brewery that makes "delicious Kochi, delicious beer." Under the TOSACO lineup as well, it has steadily developed products that make use of ingredients grown in the prefecture. Rather than simply highlighting the individuality of agricultural products as they are, the brewery's hallmark is bringing them together in a form that is easy to drink as beer.
This "Konacchan Honey Mead" is not just a fruit beer, but a beer whose flavor is built around a balance of konatsu, honey, and hops. As a community-based collaboration made by Kochi producers and brewers, its spring launch is eagerly awaited.
