NEKOBEER's "Nerutora-san" Tapped at MIHAMA BASE in Inage-Kaigan, Bringing the Draft Lineup to 9
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base) tapped a new beer on Monday, the day before its regular closing day: NEKOBEER's "Nerutora-san." The draft lineup now totals nine, ranging widely from IPA and stout to standard lager.
Hop BroToday we're talking about NEKOBEER's "Nerutora-san" being tapped at WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Inage-Kaigan. And with 9 draft beers on offer, the tasting comparison is looking pretty exciting.
MugiWhat, nine kinds? That's the kind of place where just choosing is already fun!
Hop BroThis "Nerutora-san" is a DDH West Coast IPA brewed by Fukuoka's Neko Beer. It's a 6.5% ABV beer with Nelson Sauvin and Citra taking the lead.
MugiDDH, what's that? Does it mean extra hop-heavy? Sounds like a spell, and kind of scary!
Hop BroBasically, it means using a lot of dry hopping to push the aroma forward. So you get a bright citrus aroma, a clear drinking profile, and a bitterness that still stands out.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind that charms you with aroma and then finishes crisp. Hearing that it's good as an opening beer makes me want to order it already!
Hop BroAnd the key point is that Nelson Sauvin is also used for bittering. That means the bitterness has character too, so it's not just bitter for the sake of it; the aroma and bitterness are working together.
MugiWow, bitter but stylish! So even people who aren't big IPA fans might be able to go for it if they want something easy to drink?
Hop BroExactly. And it's also easy to pair with food. Plus, with Guinness, Heartland, and Hoegaarden on the menu alongside everything from IPA to lager, you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWhoa, that's basically an amusement park for beer! First I'd go for Nerutora-san, then I'd want to taste my way through the ones that catch my eye.
Hop BroThey're open from 17:00 to 25:00 and closed on Tuesdays, so it's easy to stop by after work. Tonight, we might as well make our first beer a serious one at MIHAMA BASE.
MugiNice! I'm in the mood for IPA now too, and with 9 draft beers in front of me, my excitement would definitely go up!
