Beer Cellar Ichinomiya taps Shiga Kogen Beer's "SNOW MONKEY IPA" and Y.MARKET's "PEOPLE"
Beer Cellar Ichinomiya in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, announced on Instagram that it has newly tapped Shiga Kogen Beer's "SNOW MONKEY IPA" and Y.MARKET's "PEOPLE." Along with its business hours, it carefully introduced the flavor characteristics of each beer.
Hop BroBeer Cellar Ichinomiya, the beer pub in Ichinomiya, posted on Instagram that it had just tapped two new beers. Today's hours are 12:00-21:00, and it's a hot one for tap updates.
MugiWhoa, two beers tapped at once! And with an Instagram announcement, that's the kind of thing that makes you want to go the moment you see it, right?
Hop BroThe first is Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA. It's a Hazy IPA, and the numbers are nicely balanced too: ABV 6.0%, IBU 21.
MugiSo hazy means it's one of those cloudy IPAs? It sounds kind of fussy, but is it easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it has a slightly orange-tinted look and grapefruit aroma and white-peach notes, but instead of being sweet and heavy, it finishes with bitterness and dryness.
MugiSo it's the kind of beer you can drink with a meal! It doesn't get in the way of food, but it still has plenty of presence.
Hop BroExactly. The other one, Y.MARKET's PEOPLE, is an India Pale Lager, ABV 5.5%, IBU 45.57. It has a bright gold color and layers of honey, biscuit, and caramel malt character.
MugiA lager with those aromas!? And the hops sound wide open too. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there are grapefruit, mixed berry, peach, and guava notes, so side-by-side tasting is fun. It's a pretty solid lineup if you want to follow the character of the taps in Ichinomiya.
MugiThen today is a day to carefully appreciate the outline of each beer! A cup at a time with that full cellar feel - now I want to go drink too.
