Hop BroOn May 29, Osaka Shibuya Beer’s new release, "Gobo no O-Bean Weizen," will get an early sale at Ekimae Night Terrace GOBO.
MugiWhat, O-Bean Weizen!? Beans in beer? That makes me think of school lunch simmered beans!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. The style is a wheat weizen, with regional ingredients layered on top.
MugiWait, what was weizen again, wheat beer? And beans too? I really can’t imagine what it tastes like!
Hop BroExactly. It tends to bring out banana-like notes and clove character from the yeast, and it usually has a soft, smooth mouthfeel.
MugiOhhh! So it sounds like it has a light, fragrant aroma and would be easy to drink.
Hop BroAnd Osaka Shibuya Beer, based in Fujiidera City, Osaka, has been brewing since spring 2022, and they’ve been going all-in on beers made with local ingredients.
MugiI see, they’ve also used place names before, like Kawachino Aale and "Yuzu Weizen," so they’ve really been leaning into local identity!
Hop BroThis time it starts at the night market in front of Gobo Station, and then it’s expected to expand to Marujin Shoten, Arca, and even the web store.
MugiAn event-first release is exciting! I want to check out the first glass at the night market, and now I’m starting to want one too!
Hop BroRight, and since it’s already getting attention in the newspapers, I don’t want to miss this limited first run.
MugiAlright, let’s clear our schedules for May 29 and toast with Gobo no O-Bean Weizen!
