11 taps, including Shiga Kogen Beer's "SHIGAKOGEN HELLES?!", appear at Evolve Beer&Kitchen
The beer pub "Evolve Beer&Kitchen" in Tokyo's Mukojima has released its tap list for April 8. Alongside labels such as Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and VERTERE, the lineup includes 11 varieties in total, even Sapporo's Black Label, making for a fast-changing selection.
Hop BroThe 11 taps at Evolve Beer&Kitchen, the beer pub in Tokyo's Mukojima, are pretty interesting. The April 8 lineup is a mixed unit of "aggressive" picks and classics, with Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and even VERTERE all on the list.
MugiWait, 11 kinds at once!? That sounds great, but isn't it the kind of place that makes indecisive people cry?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. The star is definitely Shiga Kogen Beer's SHIGAKOGEN HELLES?!, and while you can enjoy the crispness of a lager, the "?!" in the name adds a playful touch too.
MugiOhhh! But what is a Helles? Suddenly a German-sounding word appears, and my brain is full of beer foam!
Hop BroHelles is a style of pale lager, known for its gentle malt sweetness and clean finish. So it has that light, easy-drinking lager character while still being a type that pairs well with food.
MugiI get it! And with bolder beers like Minoh Beer's SEYA!! and Minamichita Bergamot IPA, it really feels like a taste roller coaster!
Hop BroExactly, and they even have the nitro ver. of a Session Black IPA. Since nitro uses nitrogen, the foam becomes finer and the mouthfeel turns softer.
MugiWhat?! Soft foam? That already sounds pleasant before you even drink it. So even though it's a dark beer, it goes down smoothly?
Hop BroExactly. With Brown Ale, Rock Weizen, VERTERE's Iris, and Minoh's Mellow Lemon and Rockin' Osaru IPA too, the range of styles is really wide.
MugiAnd if the food's Today's Special changes too, then even deciding what to order sounds fun. Picking food to match the beer is kind of sophisticated, and I admire that.
Hop BroIt's perfect whether you're looking for your first drink in Mukojima or planning a night of tasting different beers. And of course, finishing with Black Label is also an option, so both of us are already thirsty.
MugiYeah, this is already a I want to drink right now kind of flow! I want to host a session at Evolve Beer&Kitchen and work through all 11 taps one by one!
At the beer pub "Evolve Beer&Kitchen," located at the foot of Tokyo Skytree in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, the tap list for service on April 8 has been announced. The post says it came "after passing through the first weekend since the renewal reopening," and the shop seems to be entering a new operating cycle while making fine adjustments inside the venue.
The beers on tap that day span a wide range, from craft to familiar standards. New taps include Shiga Kogen Beer's "SHIGAKOGEN HELLES?!," Minoh Beer's "MASAJI BEER 'SEYA!!'," and Minamichita Bergamot IPA. Also on the lineup are TOUCHDOWN's "Rock Weizen," HARVESTMOON's "Brown Ale," G-Brand Beers' "Tokyo Full Bloom," VERTERE's "Iris," and SAPPORO's "Black Label." The lineup also includes a nitro version of a Session Black IPA, plus Minoh Beer's "Mellow Lemon" and "Rockin' Osaru IPA," giving the selection a very broad range of styles.
On the food side, the venue notes that the "Today's Special" changes frequently, which is one of its strengths when it comes to pairing meals with beer. As the name suggests, it is a casual spot centered on beer and food, making it easy to use both when looking for a first drink in the neighborhood and when you want to enjoy tasting through multiple beers.
