MugiWait, that name already sounds like a field trip! And Mexican Lager means what kind of beer exactly?
Hop BroIt’s 5% ABV, IBU 19, and SRM 2.7, so the overall feel is light and refreshing, but it still keeps that grainy malt character.
MugiHold on, IBU and SRM? Why does this beer suddenly come with homework?!
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness scale, and SRM is the color scale. Here that means low bitterness, pale color, basically an easy-sipping lager.
MugiOoh, so it’s a great first pint kind of beer. My craft-beer-beginner self approves.
Hop BroExactly. Soft lager-yeast aroma, fine foam, gentle mouthfeel, and then elegant hop flavor drifting in without taking over.
MugiWhat is that, a cheat code? If it’s easy with food too, I could pair it with tacos, fried chicken, or a very reckless second round.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of a brewpub like Kanpai! Brewing: fresh pours in a relaxed spot, and this one makes me want to run a first-sip field test tonight.
MugiSame. I need to verify that fine, creamy foam myself, because now I absolutely want a glass.
At Kanpai! Brewing (1F/Granzoo) in Sekiguchi, Bunkyo, Tokyo, a new tap was announced: Konpira Jinja-zaka Mexican Lager. The post lists it at 5% ABV, IBU 19, and SRM 2.7. It is described as having a sweet, soft aroma from lager yeast, a moderate grainy malt character, fine foam, and an easy, gentle mouthfeel.
The flavor is said to keep some malt depth while layering in a refined hop expression, with bitterness fading smoothly. Carbonation is moderate, and the finish is crisp and light, making it an easy first pour of the night. Within the clean outline of a Mexican lager, it still shows malt character and a subtle hop presence, so it should work well on its own or alongside food.
As a brewpub, Kanpai! Brewing offers the appeal of freshly tapped house beer in a relaxed setting. For drinkers looking for a light but not thin lager in the Sekiguchi area, this new tap looks like a solid option.
