MugiWhoa, the name already sounds delicious! Does that mean it's super dessert-like?
Hop BroExactly. When you hear milk-shake-style, you think soft mouthfeel and sweet aroma, right? This one feels like it's putting a fruity design front and center.
MugiBut wait, does milk shake actually have milk in it? Is it really a drink like a shake?
Hop BroIn beer, lactose can be used to add body, and vanilla or fruit notes can create a thicker impression. We don't know the exact recipe yet, but from the name it seems like they're aiming for a rich, smooth impression.
MugiWhat is that? Makes me want to drink it with ice cream! If it smells sweet and dreamy, I'll be happy right away.
Hop BroAnd Rio Brewing Co. is a brewery that produces craft beer in Kashiwanoha with inspiration from Belgian tradition, so you can expect not just sweetness but also depth in the brewing.
MugiWow, just hearing brewery & BBQ makes it sound strong, and if you drink it with meat, it would definitely be amazing.
Hop BroExactly. Since they're also focused on creating a place to enjoy it with meals, MILK SHAKE seems like it could work both as a beer with food and as a treat at the end of the meal.
MugiI already really want to drink it! I can't wait for the next update, and it makes me want to make a detour to the Kashiwa area.
