Hop BroThere are two kegs tapped at SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho. Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD updated its taps for the April 17 evening service, and Hoppukotan Brewing's 'Fiction' and Forest Brewing's 'SHIJUKARA' were newly connected.
MugiWhoa! Two kegs added at once? And there's already so much buzz before the night shift starts - it's like everyone getting off work is going to be drawn in!
Hop Bro'Fiction' is a West Coast Pale Ale. It's built around KRUSH, layered with Kamifurano-grown Cascade, so it's the kind that makes your nose work overtime the moment you bring the glass close, thanks to its citrus and tropical aromas.
MugiKRUSH, what is that? Sounds like a special move! And Cascade comes up a lot, but what does it do?
Hop BroKRUSH is the name of a hop variety, and it's easy to steer toward citrus and tropical notes. Cascade is a classic of the craft beer world and is strong at building the aromatic foundation, so Fiction has a clean outline thanks to that combination.
MugiI see! So 'SHIJUKARA' is more of a curveball? Yuzu and sansho sounds like it's going to pair with Japanese food just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Forest Brewing's 'SHIJUKARA' is a Belgian White w/yuzu, sansho, so it's not just any white beer. It brings a fresh yuzu brightness and a subtle kick of sansho, with a soft Japanese nuance and a nice peppery finish.
MugiSansho in a white beer is pretty bold, isn't it!? But that sounds like it has a great Japanese accent. If I drank it, I'd probably go, 'Wait, what did I just eat?'
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the taps that day total 10 beers. You've got Touch Down's Dunkel, Vertere x Inkhorn's Viburnum, Yamaguchi no Mugi, Be Easy Brewing's Nepparu, Range x Mountain Culture's Take A Hike, SanktGallen's Yokohama XPA, and Dieu Du Ciel!'s Petite Morale, so there's a lot to play with.
MugiWhoa, just the names alone are enough! It's the kind of thing that pulls you into a beer-tasting rabbit hole. The styles and origins are all over the place, so just choosing sounds fun!
Hop BroSOUL BIRD is a reliable spot you can drop into casually in the Hamamatsucho and Daimon area. But today it's fully booked until around 9 p.m., so if you want in, it's important to move with the counter's three-seat chance in mind.
MugiAlright, my head is full of beer now! I want to drink Fiction and SHIJUKARA even if it means betting on the three counter seats!
Hop BroThat's the call. It's a day when the evening drink takes center stage, so swing by Hamamatsucho after work and toast with the two new kegs and a tap lineup tasting.
