MOON BREWERY's "Bamboo Ale" at HOP STAND Sannomiya

At the beer pub HOP STAND Sannomiya, just a short walk from Sannomiya Station in Chuo Ward, Kobe, service of MOON BREWERY's draft beer "Bamboo Ale" has begun. According to the shop's announcement, the star of this release is a saison positioned as a "beer for working people." It is a beer that layers bamboo onto a style that has long quenched the thirst of laborers.

What sets "Bamboo Ale" apart is that it takes an ingredient born from the labor-intensive process of bamboo grove maintenance and deliberately turns it into a saison. The shop describes it as a beer full of new aromas coaxed out through care and time, and packed with respect for the ingredients. It is said to be available only there as a special draft, making it a hard-to-miss arrival for beer lovers.
