Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch Newly Tapped Three Beers Including RIKRI BREWING
Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch announced new guest beer taps in a May 27 post. Three beers from three breweries - RIKRI BREWING, Obina Brewing, and KUNITACHI BREWERY - have arrived, including a West Coast IPA and an Ordinary Bitter.
Hop BroToday's topic is the new taps at Toranomon Hills. On May 27, Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch rolled out three beers from RIKRI BREWING, Obina Brewing, and KUNITACHI BREWERY all at once.
MugiWhoa, three breweries at once!? Just seeing that makes me want to rush over the moment work ends!
Hop BroThe first one to catch your eye is RIKRI BREWING's 'Dear All,' and its highlights are the bright aroma, dank character, and sharp bitterness you'd expect from a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhat even is dank! Does dank mean something bold like basketball dunks?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. In beer, dank usually refers to grassy, resinous, slightly wet hop aromas, and it gives you a sense that the hop character is front and center.
MugiI see! Then Obina Brewing's 'The Comm Deluxe' is also intriguing, and just hearing IBU 65 bitterness makes my mouth tighten up, but the tropical aroma from Citra and Mosaic is almost unfair!
Hop BroExactly, that's the interesting part. The balance of bitterness and aroma is the highlight of this beer. Even though it's firmly bitter, the aroma is bright and tropical, so it doesn't wear you out.
MugiWait, the last one, KUNITACHI BREWERY's 'The Birds Sing in the Canyon,' is an Ordinary Bitter? At 3%, it sounds so light it might disappear in no time!
Hop BroBut that's the beauty of it. It has a bitterness that lingers gently and a malty richness, so even though it's light, it still feels satisfying and pairs really well with food.
MugiAnd Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch even has grilled dishes from a butcher-run kitchen, right? An IPA with steak, a bitter with light snacks, it's basically perfect!
Hop BroIt's easy to get to from the station, and the fact that it works well for both solo drinking and beer comparison is a strong point. Tonight, it makes you want to make it your after-work drink and chase all three beers.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back now! This is the kind of night for beer tasting that makes me want to head straight to Toranomon Hills!
