Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates its tap list centered on three new HNB beers and Yatsugatake Touchdown
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list dated April 12. Alongside three new HNB beers, the lineup ranges widely from Yatsugatake Touchdown staples to collaborations, making for a substantial selection befitting an Akihabara beer pub.
Hop BroThe Akihabara tap list update is pretty aggressive. This is what Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara posted on April 12, and the lineup centered on three new HNB beers plus Yatsugatake Touchdown is hot.
MugiWhoa! Three new releases right away? And Yatsugatake Touchdown sounds mountain-cool and delicious just from the name!
Hop BroFirst, HNB's stars are three distinctive bottles. `Rinki Sakura Hen` is a wheat wine aged and blended in wine barrels and peat whisky barrels, `Sakura Momo Drops` includes white peach juice and pickled cherry blossoms, and `Smoked Hiroshima Oyster Common` is a smoky beer with the savory taste of oysters.
MugiWait, peat whisky barrels? What even is that! For beer, isn't that suddenly way too serious sounding?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Peat refers to the aroma from the peat used when drying malt, and barrel aging can add a smoky aftertaste. Wheat wine is a strong beer made with wheat, so aging can give it more depth.
MugiOhhh! So `Sakura Momo Drops` is basically a peach-and-cherry-blossom white beer, right? That sounds way too much like spring; if you drank it under the cherry blossoms, you'd win!
Hop BroExactly. And the real centerpiece this time is Yatsugatake Touchdown's substantial lineup. `Pilsner`, `Dunkel`, `Kiyosato Lager`, `Rock Weizen`, `Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver.2`, `Weizenbock`, `Yamanashi Peach Weizen`, `Rock Helles`, and `Fresh Yuzu Lager` are all on tap, so you've got everything from light and crisp to full-bodied styles.
MugiWhoa, from lager to weizen all in one place! But Weizenbock sounds strong and kind of scary... like a boxer!
Hop BroIt's not scary, not at all; it's actually more on the side of a rich white beer with plenty of malt sweetness. And with things like `Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver.2`, `Yamanashi Peach Weizen`, and `Fresh Yuzu Lager`, the aroma range is pretty wide too.
MugiThat's amazing! And the collaborations are packed too? `102×69~Roggen Roll~` and `Wanpaku Kozou` alone make you want to start a tasting flight!
Hop BroWhat's more, the atmosphere at the shop is great too. They looked back on the previous night as a night with a clubroom vibe, which is another nice touch. With the close, friendly feel of an Akihabara beer pub, it makes you want to work your way through everything in order, from the first pilsner to barrel-aged beers and collaborations.
MugiYeah, today is definitely one of those hard to choose a first beer nights! I'll probably start with the pilsner to get a feel for things, then end with the peach weizen and get into spring mode!
Hop BroDeal. I'll start with `Rinki Sakura Hen` and finish with `Fresh Yuzu Lager`. Tonight, let's go with a tasting flight in Akihabara.
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has published its `26/4/12 Tap List`. This time, the lineup features three new HNB beers while building around a strong selection centered on Yatsugatake Touchdown. In the shop's post, the night up through the previous day was described as 'a wildly fun night with a clubroom vibe,' which also conveys the close, friendly feel typical of an Akihabara beer pub.
The highlights are three beers from Hiroshima's HNB. `Rinki Sakura Hen` is a wheat wine blended after aging in wine barrels and peat whisky barrels. `Sakura Momo Drops` is a Belgian white made with white peach juice and pickled cherry blossoms, and `Smoked Hiroshima Oyster Common` is a smoky common that uses the umami of Hiroshima Prefecture oysters. Each one has a clearly distinctive character.
The tap list also includes `Yatsugatake Touchdown / Pilsner`, `Dunkel`, `Kiyosato Lager`, `Rock Weizen`, `Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver.2`, `Weizenbock`, `Yamanashi Peach Weizen`, `Rock Helles`, and `Fresh Yuzu Lager`, offering everything from lagers to weizen styles and fruit-driven beers.
Also worth noting are the collaborations `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Serverland Akasakamitsuke x Scissors Akihabara / 102×69~Roggen Roll~` and `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Kyoto Brewing / Wanpaku Kozou`. In addition, `RePubrew / AGE AGE SAME AGE` and `Jungle Juice / Feel Your Monster` are on the list too, making this a lineup that invites side-by-side tasting.
