Introducing Tanuki’s Drum (5.9% ABV)- a super crisp and refreshing Japanese-Style Rice Lager brewed with New England malt and Jasmine rice. This golden yellow-colored, mildly hazy lager features a bright white fluffy head, a pleasing malty aroma of straw & biscuit with some faint floral notes, and flavors of rice crackers & French bread. Take a sip and you will taste an initial subtle sweetness that smoothly transitions to a dry and clean lemon pith/ grapefruit bitterness. The high level of carbonation in Tanuki’s Drum, combined with its light and crisp body, makes this the perfect beer to pair with sushi, Ramen, our Fried Rice Bowl, and Yakisoba.
Tanuki’s Drum is our very first Japanese Rice Lager, and, after tasting the final result, and we were left wondering ‘what the heck took us so long to brew such an amazing beer style??”! This is the kind of beer where you take a sip and you immediately want to take another sip! It drinks so nice and easy, AND it pairs well with so many different kinds of foods. It’s also such a nicely balanced beer — you get to experience the farm-to-glass aromas of fresh, local malt — which are complemented by a nice, clean hop bite finish.
Tanuki’s Drum will be available on draft and in cans starting Wednesday, February 19th. We can’t wait for you to try it! Cheers!
Tanuki’s Drum + sushi = incredible pairing!
