Hop BroI want to talk about Röt Raspberry that Susukino Ale STAND is featuring right now.
MugiWait, that name is adorable! It's from The Old Grey Brewery, right?
Hop BroExactly. TOGB in Shiraoi brews it as a fruit session lager, and they really load it up with Tokachi raspberries.
MugiA session lager? What is that even? Does a 3% lager mean my glass disappears before I notice?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It's built to stay light and easy, and it uses natural carbonation, so the bubbles come from fermentation and feel softer.
MugiBubbles from fermentation?! I thought some sparkle fairy was shaking the tank... so we're talking soft bubbles then?
Hop BroThat's it. And they age it for more than 60 days to get fine, delicate carbonation while keeping the raspberry acidity bright.
MugiWhoa! And they hand-pick every berry? That is serious dedication to Tokachi raspberries!
Hop BroIt really is. The fruit leads the way, but the finish stays light, so the balance of tartness and aroma is the whole point.
MugiThat is dangerously convenient after shopping! And it's in COCONO SUSUKINO B1, right?
Hop BroExactly, and that makes it even better. On a day like this, chasing a guest beer pour sounds like the correct life choice.
MugiDone. Tonight we're heading there for a Röt Raspberry toast and doing that dramatic silent nod after the first sip!
