Two New Taps from FARMENTRY and Kamado Brewery Debut at Bar FUKURO
On March 26, the beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata, Tokyo, announced two new guest beers. From FARMENTRY in Nara, "Yayoi IPA #2" is on tap, and from Kamado Brewery in Gifu, "Tachika no Gi IPA" is now available.
Hop BroNew taps at Kamata beer pub Bar FUKURO are in, and today is looking really promising. FARMENTRY from Nara and Kamado Brewery from Gifu, and it is an IPA-versus-IPA comparison, right?
MugiWhoa! Both are IPAs but they still have totally different personalities!? That sounds like the beer-world version of twins, and I am curious!
Hop BroFirst up is FARMENTRY's Yayoi IPA #2. The style is Juicy IPA, and the ABV is 7.0%. The hop aroma is like tropical fruit, and a small amount of lactose makes it smooth.
MugiWhat!? A mouthfeel with lactose means it tastes milky even though it is beer? That sounds a little sweet, but also kind of dangerous!
Hop BroIt is not about forcing sweetness, but more like a hop juice-style, lush drinking experience. The fruity aroma is brought forward, and the bitterness is rounded out.
MugiOhhh! Then the next one, Tachika no Gi IPA, sounds even sharper just from the name! I am already getting excited before even striking a match!
Hop BroExactly, it is Kamado Brewery's West Coast IPA, with an ABV of 6.0%. Orange, grapefruit, and melon-like aromas come together with a clear gold appearance and restrained bitterness.
MugiWhen I hear clear gold, it sounds super crisp and easy to drink! Juicy and snappy, even though they are both IPAs, they are totally opposite characters.
Hop BroExactly. That is why tasting side by side at Bar FUKURO is so fun. You can play with how the aromas rise, and these two make the hop character really easy to understand.
MugiAnd if they are already posting April closing days, I want to go now! Putting these two beers side by side in Kamata would absolutely require some serious moderation!
Hop BroBottom line, now is the time to go. Enjoy the lush fruitiness of Yayoi IPA #2, the crisp finish of Tachika no Gi IPA, and then let us toast together at the end.
