Hop BroSunao Brewery in Akita's Yokote City has brought out two new beers. This time it's "HoppyBirthday" and "GEM^2," and both use Yokote-grown hops.
MugiWhoa, even the names are fun! HoppyBirthday sounds like the kind of beer you'd be thrilled to drink on your birthday!
Hop BroFirst up, "HoppyBirthday" is a 5.0% ABV saison. With Chinook and Cashmere plus saison yeast, it's light on its feet but still has plenty of character.
MugiSaison yeast? What is that? Suddenly there's a technical term in the mix, but it doesn't mean it's hard to drink, right?
Hop BroNot hard to drink at all. Saison yeast tends to bring out a spicy, refreshing quality, and when that combines with sweetness, it creates a beer that's easy to keep drinking.
MugiOhh! And they even put sweets in it? That's a surprise, making me think of beer with an after-school-snack vibe!
Hop BroThe other beer, "GEM^2," is a 7.0% ABV golden ale. It also uses Chinook and Cashmere, but this one uses abbey yeast, so the design is all about letting you really enjoy the aroma, sweetness, and alcoholic body.
Mugi7.0% is serious! If it has real drinking depth, it might be perfect as a weekend reward!
Hop BroAnd since Sunao Brewery stands for kind to nature, kind to people, these two beers built around local hops are a lineup that really feels like them.
MugiIf I can buy them both at the shop and online, there's nowhere to hide! So it's must-try tasting comparison time, right? Which one are we starting with tonight?
Hop BroThat's a hard choice, but I'd start with the saison and finish with GEM^2. This is definitely a strong candidate for tonight's drink.
Sunao Brewery, based in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture, has announced two new beers. The beers introduced this time are the saison "HoppyBirthday" and the golden ale "GEM^2." Both use 100% Yokote-grown hops, suggesting a direction that stays close to the ingredients in a way that feels characteristic of the brewery.
On its official website, Sunao Brewery is introduced as a craft beer brewery that champions "kind to nature, kind to people." For a brewery that aims to make beer rooted in Akita's natural environment, these two labels centered on locally grown hops clearly express that philosophy.
"HoppyBirthday" is a saison with an ABV of 5.0%. It uses Chinook and Cashmere hops, and saison yeast. In the post, the brewery explains that it aimed for a flavor that would be hard to tire of, blending the sweetness of the added sweets with the spicy freshness brought by the yeast. It also added well-known sweets from Akita and Saitama, and said it adjusted the yeast and other elements little by little to suit the brewers' preferences.
"GEM^2," on the other hand, is a golden ale with an ABV of 7.0%. It also uses Chinook and Cashmere hops, but with abbey yeast. It is presented as a beer designed to offer a firm drinking experience that lets you enjoy aroma, sweetness, and alcoholic warmth.
The post says that both beers will be available not only at the brewery, but also through its online shop. As two beers that let drinkers enjoy the character of Yokote-grown hops alongside different yeast designs, they are worth checking out if you're interested.
