Bar FUKURO taps VERTERE 'Pieris'; Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover on May 22 and 23
The beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata announced a new tap beer in an Instagram post on May 13: VERTERE 'Pieris.' A lime sour saison at 6.0% ABV. The post also announced a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover on May 22 and 23.
Hop BroAt Bar FUKURO in Kamata, VERTERE 'Pieris' just went on tap. It's a lime sour saison, and it really feels like they're getting ahead of the season.
MugiWait, what is a lime sour saison? Even the name sounds sour and delicious!
Hop BroIt's a style that adds the tartness of lactic fermentation to the lightness of a saison. Pieris includes lime peel and spearmint, so it's sharp but still goes down smoothly.
MugiSpearmint too!? So the cooling feeling comes from the mint? It sounds kind of like dessert!
Hop BroExactly, and there’s also a subtle saltiness that supports the body, so it’s not just sour. On a hot day, the flavor should come into sharp focus and show a nice sense of depth.
MugiOh, I see! And it’s 6.0% ABV, right? It looks light, but it probably still has real drinking weight!
Hop BroVERTERE is a brewery in Okutama, and what’s great is being able to drink it on tap at a station-adjacent place like Bar FUKURO in Kamata. Stopping by after work and tasting Japanese craft beer right there is a strong move.
MugiStation-adjacent is unfair! So is there something else happening on May 22 and 23?
Hop BroThere is: a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover!! It runs from May 22 (Fri) 18:00-24:00 and May 23 (Sat) 15:00-24:00, and since it's only keg opening, those two days should be a chance to go all in on Kamado.
MugiThat sounds amazing! A first glass of Pieris, then a crawl through the Kamado taps after that? Yeah, that's the kind of day you don't go home from!
The Bar FUKURO in Kamata announced a new tap beer in an Instagram post on May 13. This time on tap is VERTERE 'Pieris'. The style is Lime Sour Saison, and the ABV is 6.0%.
The post describes it as a sour saison made with lime peel and spearmint. It says the beer layers the sharp tartness of lactic fermentation with the gentle cooling character of spearmint and the fresh aroma of lime, while a subtle saltiness supports the body. As the weather gets hotter, this sounds like a beer with a clear aroma and acidity that will stand out.
VERTERE is a brewery in Okutama, Tokyo. Being able to enjoy Japanese craft beer like this on tap at a Kamata beer pub such as Bar FUKURO is a welcome point. The shop is in the station area of Kamata in Tokyo's Ota Ward, and it is worth remembering as a local spot that is easy to stop by after work.
The post also announces a "Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover!!" on Friday, May 22, from 18:00 to 24:00 and Saturday, May 23, from 15:00 to 24:00. It says the kegs will be opened only for this event, so these two days should be a chance to enjoy a lineup of Kamado Brewery beers.
First comes the new tap, 'Pieris,' then the Tap Takeover. At Bar FUKURO, there is a proper reason to keep following the tap changes.
