Hop BroFour bottles of Minoh Beer have arrived at The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata City. The lineup goes from dark styles to IPA and a koji collaboration, so it is the kind of shelf that is fun just to look at.
MugiWhat! From dark styles to a koji collaboration? That range is huge! Lining up beers with that much personality in one shop is basically a personality test!
Hop BroFirst up is Session Black IPA, right? Even though it is a black beer, it is light and easy to drink, with the richness of roasted malt topped by citrusy hop aroma. It is a very drinkable dark style.
MugiWhat is a session?! A light dark style? Black, but you can just keep drinking it? My brain is having trouble keeping up!
Hop BroHere, session means lower alcohol and easy to drink for a long time. It has the face of a heavy dark beer, but it is designed so you could keep going glass after glass.
MugiI see! Now I want to know about Mugicha Bitter too! Just hearing the name makes me feel like I am sitting on the porch in summer!
Hop BroThis one is all about the toasty aroma of mugicha. In true English style, it is a mellow, comforting beer built on malt character and gentle bitterness.
MugiWait, can you really say a beer tastes like mugicha!? If you pulled that out of the fridge, your family might mistake it for tea!
Hop BroThat is what makes it interesting. Next, Rockin Osaru IPA goes in the opposite direction, with five classic hop varieties pushing grapefruit, tropical notes, and firm bitterness in a flashier package.
MugiWhoa! Five classic hop varieties? That is basically a live concert lineup! If it hits that hard with a name like that, I want to drink it even more!
Hop BroAnd to finish, there is the Akishika Sake Brewery collaboration, Saruyama Shikao. It is a happoshu made with rice koji, with the softness of rice and saison-derived aromas, so it has a bit of a Japanese nuance too.
MugiWhat is that, it sounds so interesting! If it even has Japanese nuance, I would want to compare all four. Today in Hirakata is the kind of day where you seriously debate which one to start with!
