MugiWhoa! Just the name CORKITE already sounds intense!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that it's an Irish stout. It looks dark, but the drinking experience is surprisingly gentle.
MugiI get that an Irish stout is a kind of dark beer, but why is it being pushed so much?
Hop BroThe key point this time is that they're serving it as a nitro stout. Because it's poured with nitrogen gas, the foam is very fine and the mouthfeel turns fluffy.
MugiHuh, so fluffy foam makes that much of a difference? Like beer that feels kind of like cream?
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it interesting. The post also says it was well received by people who don't usually drink it much, so it seems like a good entry point.
MugiOh, then even people who don't like dark beer might be able to go for it! And it's not just something you can drink on-site, right?
Hop BroRight, Pigalle Tokyo's strength is that you can drink here and buy here. Trying it in the shop and then taking cans home if you like it is great.
MugiThat's unfair! If the online shop has cans too, then even if you can't get to Sangenjaya, you can still follow along!
Hop BroOne pint in Sangenjaya, another slow one at home. This really makes you want to rediscover dark beer.
MugiYeah, I want to drink it right now! I want to taste the CORKITE nitro all the way down to the foam!
