ROCKSTORE Starts Selling Water-Extracted COFFEELAGER, a Limited Brew Based on Kiyosato Lager
ROCK, the beer pub in Kiyosato, Yamanashi, has started selling Water-Extracted COFFEELAGER at ROCKSTORE. The official site says it is a limited release from Yatsugatake Brewery, built on Kiyosato Lager and flavored with coffee.
Hop BroA fresh one just landed from ROCK in Kiyosato: cold-brew COFFEELAGER launch.
MugiWhat, beer and coffee together?! The name already sounds intense. So this is a limited coffee lager?
Hop BroExactly. It just started at ROCKSTORE, and Yatsugatake Brewery brewed it on a Kiyosato Lager base.
MugiWait, what does “base” mean? I pictured some two-layer monster drink with coffee floating on top!
Hop BroThat image is out of control. It means Kiyosato Lager is the foundation, then they layer in aroma from light-roast Ethiopian beans from CRU COFFEE.
MugiThat sounds fancy. But “cold-brew” means they did a slow water extraction, not just splashing hot coffee into beer?
Hop BroRight. It is basically cold brew, which keeps bitterness from getting too wild and pulls out a rich coffee aroma more cleanly.
MugiNo way, and it still keeps that clean lager finish? That balance sounds unfairly good.
Hop BroAnd the article says there is a gentle acidity and fruity nuance too, so it should work with food or on its own as a summer-friendly pint.
MugiI can already picture drinking it in the Kiyosato highlands and chasing how the aroma changes. I seriously want to go to ROCK right now.
ROCK, the beer pub in Kiyosato, Yamanashi, has started selling `Water-Extracted COFFEELAGER`. The Instagram post simply says it is available "from today," and notes that sales have begun at ROCKSTORE.
According to the official site, the beer is a limited release produced by Yatsugatake Brewery, the brewing and sales arm of Moeginomura. It is a `Kiyosato Lager`-based `Water-Extracted Coffee Lager (Ethiopian Light Roast Ver.)`, brewed by slowly cold-extracting flavor from lightly roasted Ethiopian coffee beans supplied by CRU COFFEE.
The result is described as a coffee beer with a clean lager backbone and a rich coffee aroma. The official notes also point to gentle acidity and a fruity edge, making it easy to enjoy on its own or alongside food. In a highland setting like Kiyosato, it sounds like the kind of beer you want to sip slowly and follow as the aroma opens up.
ROCK is known as a place where food and beer can be enjoyed together in the Yamanashi highlands. The beer should feel approachable in warm weather while still showing a clear coffee character, which makes it an easy recommendation for coffee-loving beer drinkers.
