At Afterschool Brewery, the "Beer Beauty Club" Gets Underway: Brewing a Weizen for May 16
Afterschool Brewery has launched a new project, the "Beer Beauty Club." In collaboration with Nisshin Seifun, it is brewing a Weizen for the "Fermentable Dietary Fiber Event" starting on May 16. Attention is also being drawn to its unique method, which uses the high-fiber wheat flour "Amuria" and a large amount of bread.
Hop BroAt Afterschool Brewery in Ikejiri-Ohashi, a new project called the "Beer Beauty Club" has kicked off. And the word is they're brewing a Weizen for May 16.
MugiWait, what! What even is a Beer Beauty Club? Is it like a club where you get prettier by drinking beer? I'm kind of curious!
Hop BroBasically, it's kind of like a research group aiming for becoming healthier the more you drink. This time it's a collaboration with Nisshin Seifun, and it's a brew being prepared for the fermentable dietary fiber event.
MugiOhhh! But Weizen is that soft, gentle wheat beer, right? How does that connect to beauty?
Hop BroThe key here is the high-fiber wheat flour called "Amuria." If you use it normally, it clogs easily, so they asked a bakery to bake a large amount of bread, tore it up, and brewed with it. It's a pretty bold approach.
MugiWhoa, wait! Throwing in lots of bread? That's like a bread festival, not beer! Wouldn't it be faster to just eat it as is?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They're intentionally calling it an ultra-luxurious process rather than upcycling, which is stylish in its own way. They bring out the character of the ingredients while steering it toward the soft feel of a Weizen.
MugiI see, so it has that soft wheatiness while also carrying a fiber-related theme. Even though it's beer, it feels like one of those "good for your body" gatherings.
Hop BroExactly. And what's fun is that they're calling on people to move the well-being research forward by pairing it with fiber-rich snacks. It's also a very approachable way into craft beer.
MugiBeing able to stop by casually in Ikejiri-Ohashi and even learn about the fun of fermentation sounds amazing! Seeing something like this just makes me want to drink even more!
Hop BroRight? This is definitely one of those beers you want to talk about with a Weizen in hand. When May 16 arrives, I want to go have a drink and check in on the Beer Beauty Club's answer.
New Project Launches
At Afterschool Brewery, a brewery in Ikejiri-Ohashi, Tokyo, a new initiative called the "Beer Beauty Club" has gotten underway. In this post, the brewery introduces brewing progress for the "Fermentable Dietary Fiber Event" starting on May 16, as part of a collaboration with Nisshin Seifun.
The beer being brewed is a Weizen. The ingredient used is the high-fiber wheat flour "Amuria". Since it clogs easily if used as is, they have adopted a highly distinctive method: asking a bakery to bake a large amount of bread, then tearing it apart and adding it to the mash. It is also striking that they describe it not as upcycling, but deliberately as an "ultra-luxurious" process.
A Glass That Thinks About Well-Being the More You Drink
The post also reveals a vision of wanting to launch the "Beer Beauty Club" as a way to build momentum around this beer. The call is to work together on researching a craft beer activity that lets you become healthier the more you drink, pairing the Amuria Weizen with fiber-rich snacks.
Set in the relaxed, easygoing atmosphere typical of a brewery in Ikejiri-Ohashi, this is a project that invites people to enjoy beer while trying out a fresh angle. It is a clear reflection of Afterschool Brewery's approach. It seems like an accessible concept not only for people who already drink craft beer often, but also for those who do not drink much, since it offers an entry point through fermentation and dietary fiber.
