Hop BroTokyo, Kunitachi's Falò IPA has been newly tapped. It really feels like a spring tap update, and this is exactly the kind of beer SEKIYA TAP STAND is known for: one you want to drink right now.
MugiWait, you can drink that in Kunitachi? Is SEKIYA TAP STAND the kind of place you can just swing by near the station?
Hop BroExactly. The guest beer is Falò Brewing (Miyagi). And since it's a West Coast Style IPA with an ABV of 6.83%, it looks light but has a solid backbone.
MugiWest Coast makes me think of ocean breezes, but what's different about a West Coast Style IPA?
Hop BroIn short, it's the kind with bold aromatics and a crisp, tight finish. In this one too, the key point is the clean bitterness, with grapefruit- and orange-like citrus pushing to the front.
MugiWow, that already sounds delicious! And if it has citrus aroma plus a tropical note, I feel like you could just keep enjoying the aroma forever!
Hop BroThat subtle tropical character layers in on top, so it's not too sweet and it drinks briskly without tiring you out. That's the appeal of a West Coast IPA: it's easier to drink than it looks.
MugiWait, it's light but still bitter? So it's easy to drink, but it still feels like beer?
Hop BroExactly. And SEKIYA TAP STAND lists service until 20:00 (L.O. 19:50), so it's easy to stop in after work or at the end of a walk.
MugiA kaku-uchi in spring Kunitachi sounds amazing! Drinking this IPA after seeing the cherry blossoms during weekend kaku-uchi sounds like a total win, right?
Hop BroTotally. Just having a drink in spring Kunitachi is happiness enough, and now I want to open a Falò IPA right away too.
MugiThen it's decided! With this citrus-forward IPA, both of us are feeling like drinking tonight!
In SEKIYA TAP STAND's latest tap announcement, Falò IPA from Falò Brewing (Miyagi) was introduced as the guest beer. The style is West Coast Style IPA, with an ABV of 6.83%.
The post describes it in the context of a “next-generation IPA,” inspired by the shock of first encountering the style in Santa Monica in 2011. Its aromatic core is a burst of grapefruit and orange-like citrus. A gentle tropical nuance layers on top, and the beer drinks light and brisk. The bitterness is clear, and it seems designed to stay balanced even when you keep drinking.
SEKIYA TAP STAND, which is easy to stop by while strolling around the station area, is a place where tap updates come quickly and you can enjoy the changing seasons through what is on tap.
