Hop BroKichi Brewing in Horikiri-Shobuen, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, is holding a 4th Anniversary Week from April 1 to April 5. And when you hear that the anniversary beer is a new release, “|||| (Four Pillars),” tapped for the occasion, of course the manager gets a little restless.
MugiWait, it’s called Four Pillars!? That sounds strong! For an anniversary beer to already be “on tap,” it really gives off that immediate drink-it-now vibe!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a Vienna Lager with 4.7% ABV and 23 IBU, so it has a toasty quality but still finishes crisp. It’s built to be the kind of beer you don’t get tired of drinking.
MugiVienna Lager means it’s toasty even though it’s a lager? Huh, I always thought lagers were supposed to be more straightforward and super crisp!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The biscuit-like malt gets extra depth from a small amount of caramel malt. With French hops and lager yeast, a floral aroma floats on top too.
MugiWhat! It even has that orange-honey character!? A lager with dessert-like qualities is too much for my brain to handle!
Hop BroRight, but it doesn’t end up just sweet. The best part is the dry finish at the end, so you can sip it slowly without it feeling heavy.
MugiThat sounds perfect for tasting beers side by side at the anniversary event! And if there’s a reusable cup perk, that’s even better, like you’re getting a little bonus while enjoying it!
Hop BroYeah, and the fact that it’s a local Horikiri-Shobuen brewery makes it even better. You can really feel the four years of accumulated technique and the closeness with customers in the flavor.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me want to drink it! A lager with both toasty character and crispness sounds like the perfect glass for tonight!
A new release to mark the 4th anniversary
Kichi Brewing, a brewery in Horikiri-Shobuen, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, will hold a 4th Anniversary Week over five days from April 1 to April 5. In a post, it introduced a new original beer, “|||| (Four Pillars)”, as its anniversary beer. It is already on tap, and the announcement is being shared as a follow-up introduction.
The beer is a Vienna Lager
“||||” is a Vienna Lager. It is said to have an ABV of 4.7% and an IBU of 23, with a design that layers floral aromas from French hops and lager yeast over malt notes reminiscent of biscuits and toast. A touch of caramel malt adds depth, resulting in a pour with fruity sweetness and tartness that calls to mind oranges preserved in honey. With the crisp, dry finish you expect from a lager, it is a beer you can take your time with.
“Four pillars” supporting its fourth year
The name “Four Pillars” is a nod to the brewery’s 4th anniversary milestone. In the post, the brewery looks back on the four years it has spent building brewing technique, beer quality, an environment for guests, and its own growth, while also expressing an eye toward expanding outward in the future. During the anniversary event period, there is also an offer that lets customers enjoy regular and guest beers at a better value by using an original-logo reusable cup, making it a good fit not only for regulars but also for people who want to compare different beers.
This local brewery in Horikiri-Shobuen is offering a limited-edition lager that fits the occasion. If you like beers that combine toasty character with a clean finish, this is one to check out.
