MugiWhoa! Kawachi Bankan has that grapefruit-like citrus aroma, right? It must be so refreshing as a beer!
Hop BroExactly. It is a sour ale, layering bright acidity from sour yeast with juicy Kawachi Bankan-like citrus character.
MugiWhat is sour yeast? Does the beer make a puckered lemon face while it ferments?
Hop BroNot quite, but close in spirit. It is a microorganism that creates acidity during fermentation—its job is making naturally tart beer.
MugiOh, so it is not merely sweet and juice-like—it has a crisp tangy finish too. I could drink that all day!
Hop BroIt also uses some barley from Mizunami, Gifu, with a clean, light-bodied finish. Plenty of tartness, but still easygoing.
MugiAnd they have chicken curry! That spiced curry pairing sounds dangerously delicious.
Hop BroThe citrus aroma should sit nicely with the spices, while the acidity refreshes your palate. It is a pairing that invites another bite.
MugiThey also have VERTERE’s Iris, NAMACHAん’s Hazy IPA, and SONAR AID? That is an incredibly stacked tap list!
Hop BroNANA Brown Ale and SONAR AID are nearly gone, and future taps include Saison and Fresh Hop IPA. There is more to look forward to too.
MugiKawachi Bankan Sour and chicken curry—my reason to go is complete! Check the hours, then let’s toast in Fujimino!
Hop BroAbsolutely—check the latest opening information first. That bright citrus-and-tart combination makes me want a pint right now!
