B.M.B Brewery releases "Routine," a cherry cola-inspired sour ale
B.M.B Brewery in Miyazaki City has introduced Routine, a new sour ale built around a cherry cola flavor profile. The 6.5% ABV beer is presented as an anniversary release for BEERBOMB.
Hop BroMiyazaki's B.M.B Brewery just dropped the new Routine. A sour ale inspired by cherry cola is exactly the kind of chaos I can get behind.
MugiWhat! Cherry-cola inspired beer? That sounds like a soda fountain and a taproom crashed into each other!
Hop BroExactly, and the style is Cherry Cola Sour Ale. It's from B.M.B Brewery and positioned as an anniversary beer for BEERBOMB's 6.5-year milestone.
MugiWhoa, the 6.5 thing is everywhere? The anniversary is 6.5 years and the ABV is 6.5% too?
Hop BroYep, and it is not just a gimmick. They build the base with lemon and lime juice during fermentation so the acidity has real structure.
MugiHold on, during fermentation? My beginner brain just put on a lab coat and gave up.
Hop BroWhile the yeast is working, adding fruit there helps the acid backbone settle in naturally. In plain terms, the tartness feels built-in instead of slapped on later.
MugiOkay, but how do they make it taste like cola? Flavoring at the finish sounds like beer getting stage makeup!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. They layer in cherry-cola aroma for a craft-cola spice vibe, with notes that can suggest almond dessert and star anise.
MugiNo way, almond and star anise too? This is not a beer, this is cola showing up to the bar in formalwear!
Hop BroAnd because it still drinks like a lively sour ale, I really want the first-sip reveal on how the citrus, spice, and cola character land together.
MugiSame. If this was made for West Shinjuku nights, I want a toast with Routine immediately!
Miyazaki-based B.M.B Brewery has listed a new beer called Routine on its online shop. The style is Cherry Cola Sour Ale, and the beer comes in at 6.5% ABV. According to the product description, it was created as an anniversary beer for BEERBOMB, tied to a milestone described as 6.5 years of nights in Nishi-Shinjuku.
The brewery says the beer starts with a simple ale base. During fermentation, lemon and lime juice are added to build the foundation of the acidity. In the finishing stage, cherry cola flavoring is used to layer in a spicy aroma that evokes a certain soft drink. The description also points to spice notes reminiscent of craft cola, along with impressions similar to almond and star anise.
B.M.B Brewery, based in Miyazaki City in Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture, has been active with distinctive releases and collaborations. Routine looks designed to lean into aroma as much as acidity, making it an interesting sour ale for drinkers who want something that sits between citrus brightness, cola-like spice, and a dry, lively finish.
