Hop BroA new tap has arrived at the Chigasaki beer pub HOP MAN. The beer connected this time is KaruizawaQ's "Meguri," and it's the kind of pour that really catches your attention.
MugiOh wow, KaruizawaQ's Meguri! Even the name sounds delicious. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Yuzu Saison w/Dill, with an alcohol content of 6.0%. It's built around the lightness of a saison, layered with yuzu and dill.
MugiDill? What's that! Dill the herb goes into beer?
Hop BroIt does, and that's the point. It's a herb that gives off a celery-like green note and a dry aroma, and the herbal finish gently tightens up the yuzu fragrance.
MugiOhhh! And the yuzu is from the nearby Kappo Hizuki, right? I love that local connection.
Hop BroExactly. They apparently grated the peel by hand one piece at a time and squeezed in the juice too. That's why it smells so vivid, yet leaves a lingering soft citrus character without any sharp edges.
MugiBy hand?! That's true craftsmanship...! You can really feel the gentleness of the yuzu.
Hop BroThe acidity is subdued, so it's not that sharp, puckering kind of sourness. It's more of a saison-like briskness, making it perfect as a first drink.
MugiWow, that sounds like it would go well with food too! If it's great with lighter dishes, that's the kind of beer that makes you order too many snacks!
Hop BroAt HOP MAN's second-floor spot, which is easy to reach from Chigasaki Station, it's nice to enjoy the fun of guest beers. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to stop in for a drink tonight.
MugiYeah, it's officially my pick for tonight's drink! Just hearing yuzu and dill makes me want to grab a glass and run there already!
