Character:
A crisp light lager brewed with Vienna malt and flaked corn, giving the beer a rounded and clean dry finish. The modest hop bill using noble hops gives a light floral and slightly spicy hop character to keep this beer interesting while maintaining its supreme drinkability.
Naming:
In olden times in Japan, days were divided into 12, meaning each "hour" was the equivalent to modern day 2 hours. At that time, days were typically divided into two halves, half day/half night, and the phrase "nirokujichu" (lit. "through all two 6 hours") meant to do something all day and all night. Nowadays the phrase "Shirokujichu" (lit. "through all four 6 hours") means the same thing. Our goal with this pair of beers, one being a Mexican light lager, and the other being a Mexican dark lager, was to make beers you could drink all day and all night, with the day one being light and the night one being dark.
