Hop BroI’ve got a special anniversary pour for you today. Mya Brew in Nagoya just tapped Eight Star Apple for Beer Bar Marble’s 8th anniversary.
MugiWait, Eight Star Apple already sounds adorable, but what kind of drink is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Graf with star anise, so you’ve got beer blended with apple juice, then layered with that warm spice note.
MugiHold on, what is a Graf? That sounds less like beer and more like homework.
Hop BroThink of it as a beer-and-juice hybrid. It keeps the refreshment of beer, then lets the apple come through bright and juicy.
MugiOhhh, and this is the extra star anise version? So the spice shows up a little more?
Hop BroExactly. They used leaf-retained apples from Tenryukyo in Nagano, which helps build sweetness and aroma, then the star anise lingers in the finish.
MugiApple plus star anise is such an apple-pie brainwave! My mouth says dessert, but my brain says beer panic.
Hop BroThe numbers are gentle too: 4.0% ABV and 3 IBU. IBU is the bitterness scale, so this should drink super smoothly.
MugiThat means it’s dangerously easy to sip! And the sister-bar story makes it feel even more charming.
Hop BroThat’s the good part of a sister-store collaboration. It’s not just limited; it carries a relationship and a reason to exist.
MugiNow I’m fully at I need a glass status. Crisp apple, soft spice, low bitterness... let’s go find this thing.
