Hop BroToday's topic is tapping this evening: AOI BEER's seasonal Hirono Peach Ale at The Pint Shack in Shizuoka.
MugiWait, The Pint Shack is run by AOI BEER? That already sounds like a dangerous after-work detour!
Hop BroIt's a small spot with a great vibe. It's perfect for solo pints, and it works for daytime drinking or a quick pregame beer.
MugiAnd that name is unfairly tasty. Hirono Peach Ale sounds like someone teleported a peach straight into a glass.
Hop BroNot far off. They juice Hirono's famously early peaches and use a full 50 kilograms, so the aroma is doing real work.
MugiFifty kilos!? That's jam-factory energy. Does it still drink like beer?
Hop BroThat's the neat part. The style is a fruit ale, but the base is built to finish clean and dry.
MugiDry always makes me think mouth-desert mode. Should I be worried?
Hop BroIn beer terms, dry really means a clean finish. The sweetness doesn't linger heavily, so you get peach aroma with a light, brisk drinkability.
MugiOkay, that explains why people ask every year. It's basically peach season on tap, but without turning syrupy.
MugiThen there is only one move left: beat the sellout before this year's peaches disappear on us!
Hop BroExactly. Let's go chase a peach-scented first pint at The Pint Shack before the keg gets mobbed.
The Pint Shack in Miyukicho, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka, is a small beer bar run by AOI BEER. It has an easygoing atmosphere that welcomes solo drinkers, daytime beer runs, and pre-game stops, making it a good place to enjoy craft beer one pint at a time.
The beer being tapped is AOI BEER’s "Hirono Peach Ale." The shop says people ask every year when the peach ale will be ready, and it is back again this season. The beer uses 50 kg of juice from Hirono peaches, said to be among the earliest shipped peaches in Japan. It is built on a crisp, dry base, so the fruit character should come through without making the finish heavy.
The post says the beer will be tapped this evening once the keg arrives. Since it is known to sell through quickly every year, earlier visits seem safer for anyone hoping to catch it while it is on tap.
