BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI adds Tea Time Ver.2 as a guest beer
BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI introduced Tea Time Ver.2 as a guest beer. The updated release adds lemon to the original Tea Time, bringing brighter citrus notes to its Earl Grey-driven, easy-drinking profile.
Hop BroI’ve got one from BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI in Sendai today: Tea Time Ver.2, a guest beer with a hard-tea vibe.
MugiWhat, that already sounds like snack time! So it’s a tea-like beer?
Hop BroExactly. They took the well-received Tea Time, added lemon, and rebuilt it around Earl Grey and lemon for a brighter finish.
MugiWow, that sounds like iced tea in disguise. But wait, how guest beers work is still a mystery to me!
Hop BroIt basically means a special limited pour the pub brings in for a while, so at BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI this is a limited-time pour.
MugiOkay... but when they say a hard-tea build, is this beer and tea having a staff meeting?
Hop BroThey are, but peacefully. The tea aroma is designed to hit first, so the top note of aroma feels really elegant.
MugiTop note? That suddenly sounds like perfume! So that’s the first good-smell wave?
Hop BroExactly. It’s light on the palate, and the lemony citrus cuts through heat and humidity, so it feels like a reset in a glass.
MugiIf they hand me that in Kokubuncho after work, I’m in immediately! Compared with my usual IPA or lager, it’s a whole new lane.
Hop BroIt really bridges tea fans and beer fans, and honestly I want one right now because it’s a gentle curveball.
MugiThen it’s settled! Tonight at BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI, our first pour has to be Tea Time Ver.2!
