Hop BroThere’s a pour in Higashisakura, Nagoya at KEG-NAGOYA that I can’t stop thinking about: Shima Brewery’s Sumiyaki Coffee Mild Ale.
MugiWait, that already sounds delicious! A coffee beer? Isn’t that like morning and night arguing in one glass?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The style is Coffee Mild Ale, and it comes in at 5% ABV.
MugiOoh! But what exactly is a mild ale? It sounds like a very polite beer senior.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It’s a British-style ale with gentle bitterness and a soft malt-forward character, so it drinks smoothly.
MugiI get it! And then coffee goes in too? Just hearing dark-roasted espresso beans made me feel more awake.
Hop BroThey use binchotan-roasted beans from Aichi’s Kyowa Coffee and bring that aroma into the ale with a coffee infusion approach.
MugiInfusion?! What is that, the beans take a bath in beer and go, ‘Ahh, nice soak’? Technical words are scary!
Hop BroThat’s honestly close enough. It basically means the beans are steeped so the coffee aroma eases in, and they even say even beer beginners can enjoy it.
MugiThat rules! It sounds perfect for camping, and now I want to try it with KEG-NAGOYA’s house-made Chinese dishes too.
Hop BroKEG-NAGOYA keeps 13 draft beers on, so a fragrant pour like this should really shine with the calm pub atmosphere and some food alongside it.
MugiI’m sold! I’m fully prepared to take one sip and go ‘whoa,’ because now I really want a slow glass of this.
Hop BroThen let’s picture that binchotan-roasted aroma rising from the glass and look forward to beer time for coffee lovers.
