At the beer pub Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara in Akihabara, the tap list has been updated, centered on five spring-limited offerings from Johana Beer. Alongside a lineup with fruity and tea-like nuances, a wide range of domestic and international labels is on tap.
Hop BroThe tap list update in Akihabara is hot right now. At Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, the lineup as of March 29 has been switched over to a spring theme.
MugiWait, a spring theme in Akihabara? A beer lineup for the cherry blossom season sounds so good just hearing about it that I already want to drink it!
Hop BroThe focus is on five beers from Johana Beer. They brought in five spring-limited brews all at once: Mukai no Sakura, Apple Tea, Earl Grey, Kagayaki E7, and Kinuka. The lineup is bold.
MugiWhat do you mean, a tea-like beer? My brain is confused now. Is it tea? Is it beer?
Hop BroFor example, Apple Tea and Earl Grey are fruit beers with impressions of fruit and tea leaves. They keep the sweetness low and drink crisp, so they work well as a beer after hanami too.
MugiOhh! So it is more about enjoying the aroma. If it is easy-drinking, even people who are a bit hesitant about beer could get into it!
Hop BroExactly. And Kinuka is a saison made with silk powder and locally grown yuzu, while Kagayaki E7 is a Cold IPA brewed with locally grown Koshihikari rice. It is interesting how the ingredients themselves become part of the character.
MugiSilk powder? Wait! They put locally grown yuzu in beer too? That suddenly sounds like luxury skincare!
Hop BroAnd this place does not just have Johana Beer. It also lines up a wide range of labels. You can see Minoh Beer's Mugicha Bitter, COEDO's Kyara, and collaborations from Black Tide and G-BRAND BEERES, so the fun is in the choices.
MugiWow, that is a menu that will make you hesitate! But if you can drink it inside, and they even support growler takeout, I kind of want to make a serious detour there!
Hop BroRight? Picking up the scent of spring in Akihabara and making it your beer after hanami sounds amazing, doesn't it?
MugiTotally amazing! Then today, let's work our way through the five spring-limited brews one by one and give ourselves an excuse for both of us to drink!
