Hop BroDIG THE LINE BOTTLE & BAR in Kyoto's Shin-Puh-Kan is pushing one of Nara Brewing's beers in a bottle.
MugiWait, in a bottle and not a can? Is the fun of bottled beer really that different?
Hop BroThe star this time is Philharmony Belgian Wit w Yamato Tachibana, a soft and rounded Belgian wit.
MugiA Belgian wit? What even is that! And with Yamato Tachibana in it, it suddenly sounds like fancy mandarin vibes!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a pale ale made with wheat, with citrus notes layered on top. Its calling card is fresh, fruity brightness.
MugiWow, it already sounds delicious just from the aroma! Drinking it from a wine glass is a little too stylish, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the point: the glass shape matters if you want to lift the aroma. DIG THE LINE even suggests a way to drink it that makes the aroma easier to notice.
MugiAnd recommending 330 ml and 375 ml means they're the perfect easy-to-finish size!
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a bottle-focused shop, it's cool that they also stock lighter styles like saison and gose.
MugiIt sounds great with food, and now I'm hungry! If it's perfect as a beer with meals, I want to drink it even more!
Hop BroIf you're going to rediscover the appeal of bottles in Kyoto, this is the first glass to try. I kind of want to experience the drinking feel that only a bottle can offer tonight.
