Ikejima Shoten prepares Shiga Kogen Beer and Naminooto cans for the 28°C forecast
Beer pub Ikejima Shoten in Umejima, Adachi Ward, announced its craft beer arrivals ahead of a forecast calling for 28°C. With Shiga Kogen Beer visible in the refrigerator, the shop is also advancing its heat-ready lineup by featuring Naminooto's pistachio cans, melon IPA, and even Totopia on draft.
Hop BroIkejima Shoten in Umejima, Adachi Ward, is getting ready for the heat wave front and has put out an arrival notice timed for the 28°C forecast. I like how they're seriously turning the shop into summer mode, with Shiga Kogen Beer tucked into the refrigerator.
MugiWait, beer moves because of a 28°C forecast!? So weather reports affect more than just laundry, they affect craft beer too!
Hop BroExactly, and this time the Naminooto pistachio can is back in stock. It was apparently a hit last time, so anyone who was waiting for that nutty, toasty flavor is in for a treat.
MugiA pistachio beer makes me wonder whether it's a snack or a beer... but I'm curious! It sounds like it would smell like dessert!
Hop BroAnd the melon IPA they picked up a little ahead of time is interesting too. IPA is usually all about hop aroma and bitterness, but once melon notes are added, it instantly becomes juicier and more summer-friendly.
MugiThe moment you say IPA, it suddenly gets hard! What exactly do hop aroma and bitterness taste like?
Hop BroSimply put, hops can bring out citrusy notes, grassy notes, and sometimes even tropical character. So when that pairs with the sweet aroma of the melon IPA, the sip stays light while the aroma really pulls you in.
MugiI see, the aroma is doing all the work! And if Totopia is being considered for draft, isn't it amazing that you might be able to drink it fresh if the timing works out?
Hop BroThat's where Ikejima Shoten is strong: they handle about 50 kinds of cans, and you can drink them on the spot. With two draft taps, growler support, and even table seating, it really combines the best parts of a liquor store and a beer pub.
MugiWow, being able to drink it right after buying it is, to put it mildly, a total win! Picking a can and then being able to toast with it on the spot is unfairly good!
Hop BroWhat's more, the hashtags include West Coast Brewing, Uchu Brewing, and VERTERE, so it's clearly aimed at a wide range of craft beer fans. On a hot day, if you can get Shiga Kogen Beer or Naminooto there, and maybe Totopia on draft, there's really no reason not to go drink there.
MugiIt's already basically decided what today's drink is! I'll go for the melon IPA, and Hop-senpai can grab the pistachio can, so let's head straight to Ikejima Shoten!
