Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi posts 10-tap lineup with AJB's new Sour GrapeFruit Cooler
Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka shared its June 3 tap list, featuring AJB's new Berliner Weisse and seasonal picks such as Sankt Gallen's watermelon wheat beer. Nine beers were on offer, with one slot marked oyasumi.
Hop BroBeer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka just posted its tap list for June 3, 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. There are 10 tap slots, but one is taking the day off, so nine seasonal beers are on deck.
MugiWhat! One tap taking a nap? That somehow sounds adorable. But nine beers is still plenty, so choosing already sounds like half the fun!
Hop BroThe headliner is AJB's new release, 'Sour GrapeFruit Cooler Berliner Weisse.' It's a tart beer with grapefruit-like character, and it sounds perfect for hot weather.
MugiWhoa, Berliner Weisse sounds intense! Is that actually a beer, or did you just name a secret finishing move?
Hop BroIt's definitely beer. A tart wheat style that's usually light and fizzy, so it's easy to drink. Add a grapefruit-like nuance and it comes off super refreshing.
MugiOkay, so it's the summer refreshment slot! I braced for something scary, and instead it's sounding dangerously crushable.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the lineup is strong too. Suika Wheat from Sanktgallen brings the fruity side, Ushitora Brewery's 'Sachi Hop Session IPA' should pop with hop aroma, and there's even GROUNDTAP STOUT for range.
MugiHang on, what is Session IPA? You can't just toss that out like everyone got the homework sheet except me!
Hop BroBasically, it's light-bodied, aromatic IPA. You still get the hop character, but without making the alcohol feel too heavy. That's great for lingering over a few pours at a pub.
MugiAnd it's close to the station, plus 100 yen off till 6:30? Add chili beans and house-made nuggets, and my after-work plan just wrote itself.
Hop BroThe compact counter setup makes beer and food pairing easy too. With Bay Pilsner and Green Bullet Hazy IPA also on the list, this is a seriously well-balanced tap lineup.
MugiDecision made. First pour: AJB, then I'm chasing it with Suika Wheat. I fully want to toast the start of summer at Neko to Azarashi now!
Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi is a compact, counter-focused beer pub about a three-minute walk from the south exit of Mitaka Station. The shop says it pairs beer with dishes that match the day’s lineup, and its June 3 post for 17:00-23:00 showed a board with one oyasumi slot and nine beers on tap.
The highlight was AJB's new "Sour GrapeFruit Cooler Berliner Weisse (New!)". It reads like a bright, citrus-led sour built for warmer weather. The lineup also included the fruit-forward "Sankt Gallen / Suika Wheat WheatAle w/WaterMelon," the hop-driven "Ushitora Brewery / Sachi Hop SessionIPA," and the dark and sturdy sounding "GROUNDTAP / GROUNDTAP STOUT," giving the board a wide stylistic range.
Here is the tap list from the post:
- Daisen G Beer / Pale Ale PaleAle
- Sankt Gallen / Suika Wheat WheatAle w/WaterMelon
- GROUNDTAP / GROUNDTAP STOUT
- Yokohama Bay Brewing / Bay Pilsner Pilsner
- Shiga Kogen Beer / from scratch BlondeAle
- AJB / Sour GrapeFruit Cooler Berliner Weisse (New!)
- Ushitora Brewery / Sachi Hop SessionIPA
- Sankt Gallen / Green Bullet HazyIPA
- T.Y.HARBOR / WheatAle
The venue’s website describes a small pub with nine counter seats, plus a few tables, and a menu built around beer-friendly food such as chili beans, house-made nuggets, potato salad, pickles, spring rolls, and Chinese-style char siu. It also notes a weekday happy hour from June, with beer discounted by 100 yen until 18:30. That makes the pub an easy stop for a quick pint or a slower tasting session at the counter.
