TARO BEER!
One year after the launch of the Pia Uru, the Tahiti Brasserie decided to honor another fenua vegetable : TARO!
This new edition, limited to 108 000 cans, began being sold on Monday.
After the Pia Uru, the beer made with breadfruit, the Tahiti Brasserie is doing it again with the crazy Pia Taro!
The 11th beer made by the Brasserie uses a typical clavus : taro root. The beer has been developed for 6 months in the micro-brasserie of Punary with the creation of a new transformation technique of the fruit which makes it easier than the technique used with breadfruit.
2,530kg of taro root which came from Rimatara and Taravao were reduced in powder and then transformed into gelatin. This taro root gelatin replaces 50% of the malt usually used in the beer recipe (hop, water and malt). When it comes out, Pia Taro is an opaque beer as it is non filtered, with a caramal and butter taste.
Pia Taro is a limited edition beer with only 360 hectoliters made or 108,000 cans. One can retails at 260 CFP.
