Hop BroAt Kyoto's PUB Karr in the Haramachi-Rokkaku area, Minoh Beer and Akishika Brewing's collaboration 'Saruyama Shikao' has just newly arrived.
MugiWhoa, that name is already strong! What kind of beer is Saruyama Shikao, anyway?
Hop BroIt's the annual saison brewed with sake rice, you know. It has an Akishika-like backbone with Minoh Beer's easy-drinking character on top.
MugiSaison sounds fancy, but what is that? What does the saison type actually taste like?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a style that balances aroma and crispness. The yeast character comes through, so it can be a little spicy or a little fruity.
MugiWow, that sounds like fun to compare! I'm also curious about that well-stocked tap lineup!
Hop BroOn this day, Kyoto Brewing's 'Worion,' 'Tsubutsumu,' and 'Six Days Off,' Minoh Beer's 'Honey Saison,' and Asahi's 'Maruef' are all on tap, making for a broad lineup.
MugiHaving craft beers and lager in the mix is so nice... It's great for comparing different beers, right?
Hop BroExactly. And because PUB Karr has that record-bar atmosphere, it's just right for sitting back and sipping a glass.
MugiAnd since it opens at 6 p.m., I can stop by after work! A beer on a cold Tuesday sounds perfect.
Hop BroThis is the kind of night where I'd want to start with a glass of Saruyama Shikao and then keep going with Kyoto Brewing and Honey Saison.
MugiYeah, tonight is definitely a night for taking our time and drinking slowly!
