Tap Update at Kichijoji BEER MARROW: 6 Beers from DD4D, Uchu, BLACK TIDE and More
The beer pub BEER MARROW in Kichijoji has posted its current tap list on Instagram. The lineup features six labels from DD4D BREWING, GAME BREW, UCHU BREWING, BLACK TIDE BREWING, Teenage Brewing, and Inosu Beer, along with an announcement for days when records are played.
Hop BroBEER MARROW’s tap update on the fourth floor in Kichijoji is pretty interesting. When you line up DD4D, Uchu, and BLACK TIDE, it stops feeling like a shelf and starts feeling like a tiny domestic beer exposition, right?
MugiWhoa! They have six beers on tap and you can enjoy music too? I thought beer bars were supposed to be more formal!
Hop BroThat’s what makes BEER MARROW great. Even in the post, they give off the vibe that it’s not a stiff bar. They play records inside and even take requests, so you can really take your time and enjoy the drinking experience itself.
MugiOh, nice! Then maybe I’d want to start with CONTINUE? Golden Ale since it seems lighter. The name is cute too, and it feels beginner-friendly!
Hop BroThat’s a good read. And this lineup has a wide range of styles, so you can choose based on your mood, from something light like a Golden Ale to something bolder like a DDH DIPA.
MugiBut what even is DDH DIPA? The letters are so intense it just looks like a spell to me!
Hop BroGood question. Roughly speaking, it’s a DIPA layered with hops, the kind that comes in with a big aroma and flavor. It’s the kind of category hop lovers grin at, like UCHU BREWING’s MAGNETAR or Teenage Brewing’s Two-Tone.
MugiThat sounds fun! Especially BLACK TIDE’s Pray for 3.11 ver2.0 - it says it has pear-like sweetness, but also bitterness. Isn’t that surprising?
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. The pear aroma layers with piney notes, and the moderate bitterness gives it a clean finish, so it pulls you in with the aroma and lands with the taste. It’s a memorable pint, very much in BLACK TIDE Brewing’s style from Kesennuma.
MugiWow, I also want to try DD4D’s Mag Mag, and Inosu Beer’s West Coast IPA! If Kichijoji has this much to choose from, I don’t think I could go home after just one beer!
Hop BroExactly. The right move is to listen to the records on record business day and work your way through the taps one by one. Today in Kichijoji, it’s all about enjoying both beer and music together.
