MugiWhat! Black beer in bread? So it’s not just for drinking, what is that!
Hop BroWhat’s amazing is that the dough uses 100% Schwarz as the liquid, with homemade malt cream inside and wort syrup for the finish.
MugiWait, wait, malt and wort syrup? Did chemistry class just start all of a sudden?!
Hop BroBasically, they’re using the umami components of barley for the cream and the glaze. It’s not just sweet, it also has a strong toasty aroma.
MugiOhhh! Crisp dough and subtle bitterness sound so delicious, like a dessert with a more grown-up feel!
Hop BroAnd Shonan Beer is a brewery that values the freshness of unfiltered, unpasteurized beer, so being close to food is one of its strengths.
MugiPlus it’s the third installment of a commemorative project for mokichi cafe’s 10th anniversary and baker’s 25th anniversary, so the limited-edition feel is strong!
Hop BroIn beer terms, the name is "Schwarz," and the style is a German-style dark beer. It’s interesting that you can experience that character through bread first.
MugiI’m already happy just imagining it... The flow from bread to beer is totally the kind of thing I’d get hooked on! I already want to drink it!
Hop BroSame here, and you’d want to finish with a glass in the end. Schwarz after Beer Suisse is the move.
For craft beer fans in the Shonan area, this topic is something you can enjoy not only by “drinking” beer, but also by “eating” it.
According to a post from Kumazawa Brewery (Shonan Beer), the commemorative product "Beer Suisse" uses homemade black beer "Schwarz" for 100% of the liquid in the dough. In addition, the cream inside is made with homemade malt, and the glossy finish on the surface is completed with wort syrup, making for ingredient design rooted in the brewery’s own products.
With a crisp dough layered with the subtle bitterness of dark beer and a fragrant cream, this looks like a refined, adult-oriented treat that is anything but overly sweet. Beer lovers will likely want to experience the character of "Schwarz" through the bread first, then follow it up by tasting the dark beer in a glass as well.
Official information on Shonan Beer also describes the brewery as one that values the "freshness" of unfiltered, unpasteurized beer. With the added background of a bakery and cafe run by the brewery itself, the appeal of this shop lies in how close food and beer are to each other. If you are in the brewery area in Kagawa, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, be sure to enjoy the special limited feel that comes with this anniversary project.
