Hop BroI want to talk about the keg swap at BEER BAR BREAK in Ota today, featuring Octone Brewing's Yuzon.
MugiWhat, that name already screams yuzu! BEER BAR BREAK sounds like the kind of place where guest beers keep things fun, huh?
Hop BroExactly. Yuzon is a fruit saison, and it sits at 5.5% ABV. Easy-drinking, but the aroma still shows up clearly.
MugiHold on, what even is saison? It sounds like a special attack move, but how does it actually taste?
Hop BroSo, this style came from beers once enjoyed during farm work, and the aroma from saison yeast gives it a lightly spicy edge.
MugiOhhh! So it is not just yuzu flavor splashed on top, it has real aromatic depth too?
Hop BroExactly right. It uses yuzu from the Akagi foothills, and it even won gold at IBC 2021, so it has the credentials too.
MugiNo way, refreshing and award-winning? That is too strong. I totally get why it gets called a repeat crowd favorite every time.
Hop BroThat is the fun of BEER BAR BREAK and its rotating taps. The full-on yuzu freshness makes it perfect for anyone chasing a seasonal pint.
MugiSo people who dislike yuzu should be careful. Meanwhile my yuzu-loving radar is going absolutely wild right now!
Hop BroAfter work, this sounds like the kind of beer that resets your whole mood. Light but memorable is exactly the point here.
MugiI am done for, I want this already! For both of us, this is a beer to toast with now.
BEER BAR BREAK, a beer pub in Iida-cho, Ota City, Gunma, is currently serving Octone Brewing’s “Yuzon.” The Instagram post says the taps in Gunma have changed, making this a timely guest-beer update for a bar that regularly rotates seasonal offerings.
“Yuzon” is listed as a Japanese beer from Minakami, Gunma, with an ABV of 5.5% and a fruit saison style. According to the post, its aroma comes from yuzu grown in the foothills of Mt. Akagi and saison yeast, giving it a fresh, lively character. It also won gold in the yuzu beer category at the 2021 IBC.
The bar says it has carried this keg many times before, and that it is popular every time. That makes it a reliable choice for drinkers who want a citrus-forward saison with a clear regional story. If you enjoy yuzu, this is an easy one to look out for; if you do not, the bar’s note is also a useful warning.
