BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-do in Ibaraki, Osaka Introduces Baeren Brewery's Maibock
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-do in Ibaraki, Osaka, introduced Baeren Brewery's "Maibock" in an Instagram post on April 13. It is drawing attention as a rich lager suited to spring, with malt sweetness and depth from long aging as its hallmarks.
Hop BroWhat Raisin-do in Osaka's Ibaraki introduced was Baeren Brewery's Maibock. Just from the name BEER & MUSIC, you can already picture the atmosphere of slowly drinking with music.
MugiWait, what is Maibock!? It sounds kind of strong just from the name, like the boss of beers!
Hop BroGood catch. It's a rich lager suited to spring, and Baeren's official site also presents it as a May beer. It's the kind of beer that welcomes the season with depth rather than lightness.
MugiHuh, but when I hear lager, I think of something crisp and refreshing. What does rich lager mean? My brain is getting full of beer!
Hop BroBecause lager is fermented slowly at low temperatures, it has a clean outline. On top of that, Maibock uses plenty of malt and gets its depth from long aging. So it's more on the "substantial" side than the "snappy" side.
MugiI see! So is it sweet the moment you drink it? Or bitter? How much does that malt sweetness really stand out?
Hop BroThe star isn't flashy hop aroma, but first the malt-derived sweetness comes through. After that, the depth from aging lingers softly, and then it finishes with a subtle bitterness. It's the kind of beer that becomes delicious gradually.
MugiWhoa, at 7.0%, it sounds so satisfying that it'll hit me all at once, right? I feel like I'd get tipsy before the music even starts!
Hop BroThat's why the right way is to enjoy it slowly. Even in the image, the amber bottle and glass have a strong presence, and the fine foam does a great job too. It's the kind of beer that makes you want to calm down and drink it properly just by looking at it.
MugiWow, it seems like it would pair well with meat dishes! It also looks delicious with spring ingredients, and drinking it while listening to music at Raisin-do sounds amazing, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. In Ibaraki, Osaka, it's a beer that really fits when you want to calmly drink a lager with a solid flavor. Your face already looks like you're completely in the mood to have a drink.
MugiYou caught me! Today, I guess the only thing to do is really savor spring with Maibock. I want to enjoy everything together, both the music and the beer!

According to Baeren's official description, Maibock is a long-aged lager with a malt sweetness, introduced as a May beer that signals the arrival of spring.

In the image, an amber bottle and a glass filled with golden liquid topped with fine foam stand side by side, emphasizing the beer's own presence.
