Two Bottled Beers from Nagano's Field Ales Newly Arrive at Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer
Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer in Shimmaruko Higashi, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, announced new bottled arrivals from Field Ales in Nagano. The arrivals are two bottles: Field Saison -Countryside Ale- and Wash Away -Euro Hop Saison-. The announcement features boxed bottles with hand-drawn circles.
Hop BroA pair of bottled Field Ales beers from Nagano just landed at Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer in Kawasaki. Field Saison -Countryside Ale- and Wash Away -Euro Hop Saison- are both saison-style, so I’m looking forward to how their aromas evolve.
MugiWhoa, just hearing two saison-style bottles makes it sound stylish! But when I hear “saison,” I only think of something like “the beer you drink after farm work”!
Hop BroYou’re actually pretty close. Saison originally comes from a style with roots in farmhouse fermentation culture, and its appeal is a dry finish and a spicy character. Field Ales brews in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture, and also runs a pub in Nagano City, so you can really feel that sense of place in the names too.
MugiWhat do you mean by a place-inspired name? Countryside Ale and Euro Hop Saison suddenly sound like a travel brochure, and now I’m curious!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Just from the name, Field Saison -Countryside Ale- gives off a rural atmosphere, while Wash Away -Euro Hop Saison- suggests a European hop character. The hop aroma isn’t overly flashy, but it still leaves a clear impression in the finish.
MugiHuh! But European hops sounds like one of those words a professor would use... Hop brother, can you keep it at a size I can actually digest?
Hop BroPut simply, it means the direction of the aroma is different. Instead of going full citrus like American hops, it tends to show herbal notes and a refined bitterness. So when you combine that with saison’s lightness, it’s the kind of beer that really hooks you the more you drink it.
MugiGot it! And this time it’s boxed bottles, with hand-drawn circles on them too, right? I haven’t even looked inside yet and the “cute” factor is already winning!
Hop BroExactly, and that presentation feels very Bucket Coffee&CraftBeer. Because it’s a shop where you can enjoy coffee and craft beer as part of everyday life, you can feel its ties with breweries within that easygoing, drop-by-anytime distance. News like these guest beer arrivals really conveys the shop’s personality as it is.
MugiI like that... it feels like a street-corner beer journey. Made in Nagano and drunk in Kawasaki, it feels like a little outing and gets me excited.
Hop BroExactly. Drinking it slowly from the bottle makes the aroma and finish easier to follow, so it’s perfect for enjoying the changes in a saison. Now the question is whether to start with Field Saison or Wash Away, and that’s a tough one.
MugiIt’s a tough choice, but I think I’ve already decided! I’ve put it on my tonight’s beer shortlist, so Hop brother, let’s go drink together too. Once we’re standing in front of the bottles, we’re definitely going to want both!
