Hop BroAt BREWERY1876 in Sapporo Factory, "SAPPORO CRAFT Beer SUMMIT" is about to begin. With April 23 being Craft Beer Day, it's exciting to see Sapporo beers gathering day by day.
MugiWhat! More than 15 kinds over four days? You're telling me I can compare that many beers? My memory might start disappearing like foam halfway through!
Hop BroAnd the main focus is Kaitakushi Beer Unfiltered. 'Unfiltered' means it's not filtered, so the yeast-derived flavor and richness remain, giving the beer more depth on the palate.
MugiWhat is that? What's good about leaving the yeast in? It's like the beer is cloudy, and that's the correct answer. I suddenly feel like I'm an advanced drinker!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it broadens the contours of the flavor. BREWERY1876 also normally has three standard beers, and when you compare the Unfiltered, Alt, and Weizen, each one's character really stands out.
MugiOhh! I've heard of Alt and Weizen, but I have no idea what they actually are. It feels like a German vocabulary test suddenly started just from the beer names!
Hop BroAlt has a crisp taste with hop bitterness, while Weizen is appealing for its fruitiness from wheat malt. When the aroma of wheat malt comes through, some people even notice banana-like notes.
MugiBeer that tastes banana-like? My brain can't keep up! But it definitely sounds fun to drink, and comparing the differences in color would be exciting too.
Hop BroExactly. The three-beer tasting set makes it really easy to understand. The venue is near Chimney Square at Sapporo Factory, so you can enjoy it as if you're tasting Sapporo's history in every glass, which is a nice touch.
MugiIt feels like you're not just drinking, but drinking a story. And if craft breweries from Sapporo are coming in rotation, having a different encounter every day is the best!
Hop BroIn the end, it's all about picking the glass that catches your eye and raising a toast. Use Craft Beer Day as the повод to enjoy Sapporo's beer culture at BREWERY1876.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go! I can already see the future where I start with Kaitakushi Beer Unfiltered and end up comparing everything before I know it!
