Hop BroSo Nara Brewing's 'ENNUI' has arrived at Laugh'in in Sannomiya, Kobe. It's a playful beer made with adzuki beans and condensed milk.
MugiWait, adzuki beans and condensed milk in beer!? Isn't that going to head straight into oshiruko territory?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the sweetness is kept restrained. With an ABV of 5.5% and an IBU of 7, the bitterness is gentle and the drinking experience stays calm.
MugiThere it is again, IBU! I know it means a bitterness guide, but how bitter is 7, really?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's quite low in bitterness. So instead of putting the hops front and center, the beer is designed to gently showcase the mild aroma of adzuki beans and a subtle sweetness.
MugiWow, and it says creamy foam too, so the mouthfeel sounds really soft!
Hop BroExactly. Because it's nitro, it tends to produce fine, delicate foam. Using nitrogen makes the foam smoother and brings out even more of the rounded character of a brown ale.
MugiAnd the shop itself sounds amazing! First floor lively, second floor relaxed, and the basement level is basically a beer cellar from end to end. It's like a beer theme park!
Hop BroIt really is, and there are four taps, plus you can drink beers you pick from downstairs. They also seem to be planning in-store events for June, so there are even more reasons to go.
MugiI want to drink it right now! I heard it's perfect after a meal, but if it also works as the first beer, then I have to try both!
At Laugh'in in Sannomiya, Kobe, Nara Brewing's nitro can beer 'ENNUI' has arrived. The style is Brown Ale with AZUKI & CONDENSED MILK, with an ABV of 5.5% and an IBU of 7. In a 350 ml nitro can, it is a beer you can enjoy for its creamy foam and smooth mouthfeel.
'ENNUI' is characterized by a design that layers nuances of adzuki beans and condensed milk. When poured into a glass, it releases a gentle aroma derived from the adzuki beans, and once on the palate, a subtle sweetness spreads across the mouth. Rather than pushing sweetness to the forefront, the hops are kept restrained, making it an easy-drinking brown ale with a calm profile. It is finished so that it works well both as a drink to slowly enjoy after a meal and as an approachable first beer.
Laugh'in is arranged with lively counter seating on the first floor, relaxed table seating on the second floor, and a basement level that features an entire beer cellar like a refrigerator. There are four taps, and it is also interesting that you can buy and drink beers you choose from the basement beer cellar. The building itself creates the fun of choosing beer.
The post also announces that several in-store events are planned for June. Along with the arrival of the guest beer, it will be worth watching for future announcements as well.
