Derailler Brew Works Dessert Beer Arrives at Suzuki Sakuhan
Suzuki Sakuhan in Minowa, Tokyo, has received Derailler Brew Works' "You hit me! Even my old man never got Burrata'd!" It is being introduced as a dessert beer that uses Chardonnay white grapes and evokes a marriage of wine and burrata cheese.
Hop BroA super-strongly named beer from Derailler Brew Works has arrived at Suzuki Sakuhan in Minowa. "You hit me! Even my old man never got Burrata'd!" is the kind of name that makes you stop in front of the shelf.
MugiWhoa! The title is way too intense! This is the kind of thing that makes you laugh before you even drink it. But is it actually beer inside?
Hop BroOf course it's real beer. And it uses Chardonnay white grapes, so it's designed to have a wine-like fruitiness.
MugiWhat? So it's somewhere between beer and wine? My head's getting all floaty. Will it get even floatier when I drink it?
Hop BroAs an image, it's more the kind of beer you enjoy slowly after a meal rather than one that pushes hop bitterness to the front. What's interesting is how it layers the brightness of white grapes with a mellow character like burrata cheese.
MugiBurrata is that milky cheese that kind of oozes out, right? If that were in a beer, I'd be shocked because it would feel like dessert!
Hop BroExactly, that's the idea of a dessert beer. It's the kind you enjoy for its sweet finish and wine-like nuances, the exact opposite of a punchy bitter IPA.
MugiI see. And Suzuki Sakuhan is great because they recommend these kinds of distinctive guest beers right there in the store. If you drop by Minowa casually, it feels like you're likely to run into something interesting!
Hop BroThat's Suzuki Sakuhan's strength. You can pick it up along with the story behind the label, so it feels less like a simple new arrival and more like a story in a glass.
MugiNow I completely want to drink it! One that makes you laugh at the name and nod at the flavor too, I want you to take me to Minowa right now!
Hop BroLet's go. It has both a wine-like feel and a sense of playfulness, so tonight I want to open this and take my time confirming a taste that lives up to the name.
MugiAgreed! Let's start tonight in dessert mode, with a first glass!
Suzuki Sakuhan in Minowa, Tokyo, has received Derailler Brew Works' "You hit me! Even my old man never got Burrata'd!"
In the post, it is introduced as a bottle made with Chardonnay white grapes, though that is hard to imagine from the package alone. The beer is positioned as a playful dessert beer in the brewery's signature style, built around a design that layers wine-like elements with the creaminess of burrata cheese.
The beer name makes a strong impression, but the concept behind it is solid. With fruitiness from the white grapes and a mellow character reminiscent of cheese, it sounds like the kind of beer to savor slowly after a meal, almost like a digestif. Rather than highlighting hop bitterness, it seems better suited to those who want to enjoy a sweet finish and wine-like nuances.
One of Suzuki Sakuhan's strengths is that it recommends distinctive guest beers like this right at the store. If you're looking for craft beer in the Minowa area, this is one to check out as a drink that comes with its own story. It is an arrival notice that lets you experience Derailler Brew Works' worldview as more than just a name.
