Hop BroAt CRAFTROCK TAPROOM in Takao, Jam Session 2 has been tapped. It's the sequel to the collaboration with Korea's SEOUL BREWERY, and the kind of beer that makes people who know the first release grin.
MugiWait, it's a sequel to a Japan-Korea collaboration!? Even the name already feels like a festival, and I'm hyped before even drinking it!
Hop BroThe base is a SESSION IPA, with mango, lemon, mint, and coconut layered in. It's flashy, but the key point is that it's not just a sugary fruit beer.
MugiA session IPA means an easy-drinking IPA, right? But if you add mango and coconut, doesn't it suddenly turn into something like a tropical street stall?
Hop BroNice observation. In short, it's finished with a dry drinking profile, so even though the aroma is tropical, the aftertaste doesn't get heavy. That's a beer designed to keep you going glass after glass.
MugiOhhh! So it means the sweetness doesn't linger, but the aroma is still genuinely fun. That's sneaky - I'd definitely be reaching for another one before I know it!
Hop BroAnd the fact that there's a 250 ml size is thoughtful too. You can try one first, then have another if you like it. It's easy to make that kind of flow happen.
MugiThat's perfect! Being able to have a quick drink at a brewpub in Takao is beginner-friendly, and it also has that 'pit stop on a trip' feeling!
Hop BroWhat makes CRAFTROCK TAPROOM appealing is that you can enjoy both house brews and guest beers. So this one also feels like a conversation in a glass.
MugiThen today is basically comparison-drinking time! For people who know the original and for first-timers alike, this is the kind of beer that makes you want to raise a glass together in Takao!
The Sequel to the Japan-Korea Collaboration Arrives in Takao
CRAFTROCK TAPROOM in Takao, Tokyo, has introduced 'Jam Session 2,' a collaboration beer with Korea's SEOUL BREWERY. This release is a reunion that follows the earlier 'JAM SESSION' created by both breweries. The CRAFTROCK side brewed this beer in Takao.
It is based on SESSION IPA. Mango, lemon, mint, and coconut are layered on top to bring out tropical aromas and flavors. While it has a lively, expressive character, the finish is dry, so it keeps you drinking without leaving any lingering sweetness. It can be described as a beer that aims for both the easy-to-grasp appeal of a fruit beer and the light drinkability of a SESSION IPA.
It is also available in a 250 ml serving, which makes it easy to try one in the taproom first and check whether it suits your taste. If you like it, you also have the option of taking some home as a souvenir. Set in the relaxed atmosphere of a Takao brewpub, it is a guest beer well suited to taking your time and following the flavor in detail.
CRAFTROCK TAPROOM is known as a brewpub where craft beer can be enjoyed casually. Its appeal lies in being able to enjoy both house-brewed beers and guest beers while engaging directly with the beer's own character. This 'Jam Session 2' is a beer that seems to pour the continued exchange between Japanese and Korean breweries directly into the glass. For those who know the previous release, there is the fun of comparing the two; for first-time drinkers, the collaboration-beer playfulness comes through clearly.
