Karuizawa Q 'Wind Through' Is Tapped at Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Nakano
Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Nakano updated its Instagram with a recent post and recommended karuizawa Q's limited session IPA, "Wind Through." At this bar, where taps change every few days, you can enjoy a beer that suits the changing season.
Hop BroNakano's craft beer bar Citraba has tapped karuizawa Q's limited beer "Wind Through." It's a timely topic, since its session IPA style makes it especially refreshing for the current season.
MugiWhoa, is "tapping after a long time" that rare? And with a name like "Wind Through," it sounds like it could cool down the room when you drink it!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Citraba Nakano rotates its taps a little every day, so the keg lineup can change each time you go.
MugiWhat, seriously? Kegs changing every day is like the beer world's version of a quick costume change. So there are regulars, but guest beers are basically the stars?
Hop BroExactly. This time's "Wind Through" is a session IPA with tropical nuances, so it has a strong aroma but stays light to drink.
MugiSo a session IPA is like a lighter, more aromatic one? When I hear IPA, I brace myself, but this sounds like something I could drink easily!
Hop BroThat's right. It doesn't make the alcohol feel too heavy, but it still keeps the hop character, so it's easy to pair with food.
MugiOhhh! That sounds like it would go great with fried food too, and it also seems fun to just sit back and chase the aroma on its own. And in Nakano, a casual beer pub you can drop into easily sounds perfect!
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too: weekdays 16:00 to 23:30, Saturdays 14:00 to 23:30, and Sundays 14:00 to 23:00. It's the kind of place that's great for just dropping in for a drink.
MugiNice, now I feel like I want to drink Wind Through tonight! This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back every time the taps change.
Hop BroExactly. It's hard not to admire how they bring out a lightly fragrant glass right when the season is changing. That's basically the drink for tonight.
In an Instagram post from Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Nakano (5-chome, Nakano, Tokyo), the limited beer "Wind Through" from karuizawa Q was introduced. The post described it as a "tapping after a long time" and announced that the session IPA had been put on draft.
On the day of the post, the shop floor noted that the craft beer lineup had been "changing little by little every day over the past few days," which is one of the very Citraba Nakano-like points: guest beers move quickly here. As a place where you can enjoy the regulars while trying a new keg each time you visit, it is fair to say this shop’s style gives beer fans plenty to keep checking in for.
This recommended beer, "Wind Through," is a session IPA with tropical nuances. It should offer a light drinking feel with a fragrant accent, and the post describes it as "perfect for this time of year as the weather starts to get hotter." It is the kind of beer that is not too heavy, yet still lets you enjoy plenty of aroma, so it seems like a good choice either with food or for taking your time with on its own.
Citraba Nakano is open weekdays from 16:00 to 23:30, Saturdays from 14:00 to 23:30, and Sundays from 14:00 to 23:00. The April closing days were also announced in the post, making it an easy-to-use Nakano beer pub for casual visits. The bar continues sharing updates on its FB page and on various social media platforms, so it may be best to stop by when a beer you are curious about is on tap.
