CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi posts 11-beer tap list for Aug. 25
CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi shared its Aug. 25 lineup with 11 beers and ciders on tap. The post also introduces a new snack, "Lawar Sayur," alongside styles ranging from kölsch and pilsner to Hazy IPA, WCIPA, and porter.
Hop BroHere’s today’s topic: CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, down on the basement floor in Roppongi, revealed 11 beers on tap for August 25.
MugiWhat! Eleven taps at once? That is absolutely the kind of place that steals you after work.
Hop BroThe hours help too. On weekdays it runs 5:00 p.m. to midnight, food last order at 11:00, drinks at 11:30, so it’s easy after-work timing.
MugiWhoa. But looking at the list, what are Kolsch and Saison and especially what is WCIPA? That sounds like a wizard spell.
Hop BroThat part matters. WCIPA means West Coast style IPA, with crisp bitterness and a bright, dry hop profile. A Session Hazy IPA goes in the softer, easier-drinking direction.
MugiNo way! So even within IPA, the contrast is huge? That sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroExactly. This lineup includes Swan Lake’s Nagi, Fire Stone’s Pivo Pils, HI Wire’s Cooler Nights, and Garage’s Locker, so you get light to full-bodied in one night.
MugiAnd I see Tekikaka and KOTOKOTO2024#3 too, so there are ciders too! I love that it’s not just beer all the way down.
Hop BroThe food sounds strong too. Their new snack, Rawar Sayur, is green beans marinated with coconut plus garlic, lemongrass, and chili, making a sweet-sour spicy plate.
MugiWait, coconut, lemongrass, and chili? And it’s called Balinese-inspired cooking? My mouth is basically on vacation already.
Hop BroThat’s why it sounds so good with Minoh’s Grapefruits Sour or Brasserie Knot’s RIVER Saison. You’d get constant snack-and-sip rotation all night.
MugiI’m sold. I want Rawar Sayur, something easy first, and then a porter to finish. I want to go now.
