Trunk Coffee & Craft Beer Uemaezu Introduces Five Shiga Kogen Beers
At Trunk Coffee & Craft Beer in Uemaezu, Nagoya, five Shiga Kogen Beer labels from Nagano are being featured. In addition to staples like IPA and Pale Ale, Indian Sammer Saison is also currently available on tap.
Hop BroHearing that five Shiga Kogen beers are all lined up at Trunk Coffee & Craft Beer in Uemaezu, Nagoya, makes me want to kneel in front of the tap right away.
MugiWait, a coffee shop is serious about beer too!? Aren't coffee and beer together a bit too ambitious?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. When they line up everything from staples like IPA and Pale Ale to Baby Blonde Miyama and Africa PaleAle, you can really see the personality of the same brewery.
MugiWhat do you mean, personality? Does beer have one too? What does dividing the flavor profile even mean?
Hop BroFor example, IPA tends to highlight hop aroma, while Pale Ale has a slightly softer drinkability. If you line them up and compare the difference in hop character, even beers from the same Shiga Kogen brewery take on different expressions.
MugiOh, I see! Then something light like Baby Blonde Miyama sounds perfect for a first drink!
Hop BroExactly. And since Indian Sammer Saison is currently being offered on tap too, there is a strong reason to choose it when you stop by.
MugiSaying Saison suddenly makes it sound difficult! What kind of style is the character of a Saison anyway?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's crisp with a little spice, and you can also enjoy aromas from fermentation. That means lightness and complexity coexist, making it a good finish for a tasting flight.
MugiSo that means a night of beer comparison is complete in Uemaezu! I want to start with IPA today, and finish with Indian Sammer Saison!
