A guest beer in the basement of Susukino

Susukino Yell STAND, located on the B1 floor of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo’s Susukino area, featured Yum Wakka Brewing’s White Night Ale in an Instagram post. The post identifies it as an American Wheat Ale with 5.0% ABV.

What White Night Ale is like

White Night Ale is brewed by Yum Wakka Brewing in Wakkanai. On the brewery’s official site, it is described as a wheat ale inspired by the white nights of the far north. The beer uses plenty of wheat malt for a pale, soft mouthfeel, while dry-hopped American hops add a clear aromatic layer. It is the kind of beer that sits between gentle malt presence and a bright hop aroma.

Why this beer fits the venue

Susukino Yell STAND is a beer pub built around easy access to craft beer from Hokkaido. It opens from 10:00 in the morning, so it works for a quick drink before a meeting, a short stop during a shopping break, or an early daytime pint. The venue also supports takeout and online purchase through its EC site, making it easy to check what is available and bring a bottle or can home.

That combination of a central Susukino location and a strong focus on local craft beer is what makes the shop interesting. White Night Ale looks like a good option for drinkers who want a light wheat ale with a clean hop aroma and a relaxed finish.
