Want a Beer Announces Six Tap Selections for May 8 Service, Including a 5th Anniversary Original
The beer pub Want a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya City, has published the tap list it will serve from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on May 8. Six beers, including a 5th anniversary original sour, are lined up, and the food menu centers on meat- and beer-friendly dishes.
Hop BroThe Utsunomiya beer pub Want a Beer has put out its tap list for May 8 only. It even includes a 5th anniversary original, so this is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa! There are six beers on tap? And there’s an original too? I’m already having trouble choosing before I even start!
Hop BroFirst up to notice is AKIRA no Kyujitsu, Hop Kotan’s Bohemian Pilsner. It has depth and toastiness from decoction brewing, while still leaving the malt sweetness intact.
MugiDecoction? That sounds like a spell from a magic book! What’s so impressive about it?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a brewing method where part of the wort is boiled and returned, and it brings out richness and toasty character. So even a pilsner becomes more than just light and easy.
MugiI see! So TOHOKU PRIDE as an IPL is easy to drink even though the hops stand out? The name alone sounds strong!
Hop BroExactly. Black Tide Brewing’s light and lively IPL has a clear hop profile, but it’s designed so you can drink it smoothly. The next one, Kinnoni Pale Ale Krush Single Ver., also lets you enjoy the citrus character of Krush hops in a straightforward way.
MugiThe moment I hear citrus, I suddenly want to drink it! And what is Fresh!!! supposed to be, that all-out name!
Hop BroThat’s Romanchic Village x Want a Beer’s 5th anniversary original, a Fruits Sour Ale. It uses a total of 60 kg of five kinds of citrus, and because it’s a sour that fully makes use of the juice, it really lands as a flashy beer for the milestone.
Mugi60 kg is insane...! And it really feels like a beer for the shop's milestone, which is kind of moving.
Hop BroThere’s also Be easy Brewing’s Aomori Ale, with its soft mouthfeel, and Ushitora’s Yozora no Shimukou, a Black IPA that balances roasted character and hop aroma. The food lineup also includes Tosa Akaushi top round and carpaccio, so this is clearly a day to go hard on both eating and drinking.
MugiWow, meat and beer is a total win! If reservations can be made on LINE, I want to go right now!
