Hop BroKameido’s GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS just tapped Hansharo's English Gold Summer as a new real ale, and it really feels like summer is back on the bar.
MugiWait, real ale sounds like a beer that tells no lies. What kind of style is that?
Hop BroGood question. It uses natural cask conditioning, so the carbonation stays gentle and the mouthfeel comes out soft and rounded.
MugiWhoa! But if it’s low on fizz, does that make it too quiet for summer, or is it more of a slow-burn kind of pint?
Hop BroEnglish Gold Summer is not a loud hop bomb. It’s more mellow, malty, and calmly British, then suddenly amazing with fried food.
MugiAnd this place is all about fish and chips, right? Seafood and real ale already sounds like a tiny UK festival in my mouth.
Hop BroExactly, and GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS keeps 5:00-11:00 p.m. hours, with fried food last order at 9:00, so nobody should become a tragic late-night fry orphan.
MugiWhat is a fry orphan and why is it terrifying? Also, the beer share on Saturday the 18th is already full, right?
Hop BroYep, the share event is full. But regular service still gives you a nice chance to enjoy this real ale at an easy pace.
MugiThen it’s settled: one round in Kameido with crispy fish and chips and a pint of English Gold Summer.
Hop BroThat is the correct plan. This summer real ale sounds exactly like the kind of pint that makes you want another before the first one is gone.
