Introducing Uchu Brewing's 'OTAKU'

In an Instagram post by the beer pub Bakushuku Laundry in Kugenuma Tachibana, Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Uchu Brewing's 'OTAKU' was featured. The post introduced it as a bottle they bought on the very day the long-awaited shipment arrived, and it showed them spending a springlike moment while looking at flowers nearby.

The featured 'OTAKU' is a Smoothie Sour Ale with an ABV of 5.0%. According to the brewer's notes, it is designed with large amounts of pineapple, coconut, and orange, then finished with Jamaican dark rum, creating a style that lets you enjoy richness and acidity at the same time. With a structure that layers the brightness of fruit with nuances from the rum, the flavor is quite carefully crafted, contrary to the impression given by the name.

Bakushuku Laundry is also described in the post as a place where you can always drink delicious draft beer and always get delicious beer to go, making its strength clear in offering both an in-house pint and takeaway options. In addition, it highlights beer flights, draft beer by weight, bottled beer, canned beer, sake, and dog-friendly access, making it easy to use day to day while still offering a broad craft beer selection.

This post conveyed exactly the atmosphere of the shop and its compatibility with Uchu Brewing's distinctive sour ale. If you're looking for a fruit-forward craft beer that fits the spring mood around Fujisawa, a beer pub like Bakushuku Laundry that feels safe to drop into seems like a strong option.
