Four Shiga Kogen Beer bottle varieties arrive at Bucket Coffee & Craft Beer, with only a few left
Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer in Musashi-Kosugi has received new Shiga Kogen Beer bottle products. In the post, it introduces two special beers unveiled at Shiga Kogen's Farm House, "Kind of Gold" and "House Lager 2.02 Kinmon Nishiki," and also suggests tasting them side by side with "Sono Juu" and "Sono Sen."
Hop BroA batch of Shiga Kogen Beer bottles just came into Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer in Musashi-Kosugi. And if I hear there are only a few left, my feet start heading there on their own.
MugiWhat! That popular!? Shiga Kogen Beer bottles are the kind of thing you grab immediately if you find them!
Hop BroThe main highlights this time are Kind of Gold and House Lager 2.02 Kinmon Nishiki, both unveiled at Farm House. The first is an Imperial IPA, and the second is part of the house lager line.
MugiImperial IPA? What even is that? Is it like a stronger version of IPA?
Hop BroBasically, yes. It has a firmer alcohol presence and body, and the hop aroma tends to come forward more strongly. What makes Kind of Gold interesting is the way its bright hop aroma is layered with the softness of rice and honey.
MugiThat sounds delicious! When I hear rice and honey, it feels elegant and luxurious!
Hop BroThat's the Shiga Kogen style. The other one, the lager made with Kinmon Nishiki, is easy to pair with food and has a crisp finish, so the contrast in drinking impression is really clean.
MugiSo lager isn't just light! If it’s easy to pair with food, this is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want another glass.
Hop BroAnd the post also recommended tasting them alongside Sono Juu and Sono Sen. There’s something irresistible about being able to follow the range of Shiga Kogen’s rice use all at once through bottles.
MugiA bottled tasting comparison sounds amazing! I might take a detour in Musashi-Kosugi and study craft beer seriously tonight!
Hop BroExactly. A place that has both coffee and beer, plus the fun of tracking bottle arrivals? That’s dangerous if you were only planning to have one drink after work.
MugiIf it’s dangerous, then I guess I have to go! Tonight I’m going with bottled beer, and I want to start with Kind of Gold!
Newly arrived bottled beers
Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer (Shinmarukohigashi, Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa) has newly received bottled products from Shiga Kogen Beer. In an Instagram post, two labels were introduced as special beers recently unveiled at Shiga Kogen's Farm House.
- `Kind of Gold - Imperial IPA w/Rice&Honey`
- `House Lager 2.02 金紋錦`
`Kind of Gold` is a beer known as a collaboration between DOGFISH HEAD, OXBOW, and SHIGA KOGEN: an Imperial IPA made with rice and honey. It is easy to imagine a structure in which bright hop aromas are layered with smooth nuances from the rice and honey. `House Lager 2.02 金紋錦` is part of Shiga Kogen Beer's house lager line, a lager made with homegrown Kinmon Nishiki rice that pairs easily with food.
The post says these beers have already been welcomed enthusiastically and notes that there are "only a few left," so anyone interested should check them out soon. It also recommends tasting them alongside `Sono Juu` and `Sono Sen`. One of the highlights here is being able to enjoy, all at once through the bottled lineup, the range of Shiga Kogen Beer's IPAs and lagers that make use of rice and sake rice.
