Hop BroBreaking news: at North Island Beer’s Ebetsu Brewery March 14 direct sale day, they’re selling the seasonal limited "Coriander White" by weight!
MugiWait, what! Selling beer by weight means buying it like meat!?
Hop BroExactly. You can buy as much as you want at 2.0 yen per gram. A plastic cup is 650 yen, and you get 100 yen off if you bring a North Growler or a reusable cup.
MugiWow! And "Coriander White" sounds cute! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt’s a wheat beer, basically a white ale style. The yeast gives it fruity notes, and the coriander adds spiciness, with a phenolic aroma that really fits spring.
MugiPheno... what? Is that a spell!?
Hop BroIt sounds complicated, but it just means a clove-like spicy aroma. Combined with banana-like fruitiness, it’s the kind of beer that feels light but leaves a strong impression!
MugiGot it! The kind of beer you want to drink with the spring breeze! Oh, and there was news about canned beer too, right?
Hop BroThat part matters too! Starting March 14, they’ll begin a limited trial sale of canned beer at the factory shop and beer bar. And at the March 14-15 EBRI event, draft pours of "Yohaku," "Sylvan Relic," "Bokura to Neko," and "Cinnamon Ale" will also be available.
MugiThis info is so good it made my throat dry first... A brewery that has been brewing in Ebetsu since 2003 is serious business. I already want to go drink there today!
