Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke updates July 2 tap list with Sansho Ale and Touchdown Rock Bock
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke posted its July 2 tap list, highlighting new taps from Iwate Kura Beer and Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN: Sansho Ale and Premium Rock Bock.
Hop BroToday's topic is the July 2 tap list at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka Mitsuke, and they just put two new beers on tap.
MugiWhat! Two fresh taps already sounds exciting! What are they pouring?
Hop BroFirst up is Iwate Kura Beer’s Sansho Ale. It has a bright sansho spice character, light on the palate but really distinct.
MugiWait, sansho spice in beer? Is this a drink, or is my tongue about to join a kung fu training arc?
Hop BroNot full-on shock therapy. It’s more about the defined aroma profile, with a fresh, Japanese-herbal character that stands up well next to food.
MugiHold on, defined aroma profile sounds like beer went to art school. So you mean the aroma comes through clearly?
Hop BroExactly. The other newcomer is Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN’s Premium Rock Bock, a bock with solid malt depth and a calm, sip-slow kind of body.
MugiA bock... and solid malt depth? That sounds less like a beer and more like a weighted blanket.
Hop BroFair. By depth, I mean sweetness and richness. It has a full drinking experience, and if you take your time, the grainy, bread-like notes really open up.
MugiI want to start with Sansho Ale for the aroma, then settle into the bock after that. The basement in Akasaka Mitsuke is basically calling my name now.
Hop BroAnd Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka Mitsuke is great because the beers are easy to pair with food. First glass for aroma, second for pairing checks. Clean strategy.
MugiThen it’s settled. We’re doing the side-by-side tasting tonight, getting surprised by sansho and soothed by bock.
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, a basement beer pub near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, updated its tap list on Thursday, July 2. The post presents the day’s lineup and notes the new openings for the day.
The first beer to stand out is `Sansho Ale` from Iwate Kura Beer. As the name suggests, it brings sansho pepper character into the glass, giving the beer a distinct spicy edge and a clear personality at the table. The other new tap is `Premium Rock Bock` from Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN. With a bock-style profile and more malt depth, it is the kind of beer that invites a slower pour and a more deliberate drink.
Located in the B1F of the Akasaka Gessekai Building at 3-10-4 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Craft Beer Server Land focuses on Japanese craft beer and food-friendly drinking. Its underground setting and changing tap lineup make it a good place to compare styles side by side while enjoying a relaxed pub atmosphere.
