RIOT BEER Pours Darklands and ROXANNE on Nitro, with a Katsunuma Base Brew Day on June 6
RIOT BEER's June 6 schedule includes Darklands nitro and ROXANNE nitro, along with a brewing session at Katsunuma BASE. The post points to a taproom day shaped by both fresh pours and hands-on brewing.
Hop BroRIOT BEER has my attention today, with two nitro pours on deck: DARKLANDS and ROXANNE.
MugiWait, what is nitro? That sounds like the beer is about to race a motorcycle through the taproom!
Hop BroNo motorcycle, but it matters. A nitrogen pour system makes the bubbles tighter, so the texture gets smoother and creamier.
MugiOhh, so it's a fluffy, silky mouthfeel? Then DARKLANDS sounds like it'd be dangerously easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. DARKLANDS' roast character should come across soft and toasty, while ROXANNE brings that deeper malt richness.
MugiHold on, malt richness means what, exactly? Are we talking bread crust, cookies, or me suddenly needing snacks?
Hop BroPretty close, honestly. Malt-forward flavor means the grain's sweetness and body lead the way instead of just hops stealing the spotlight.
MugiThat is a barley lead role and I respect it! So is RIOT BEER only about heavy beers?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: they brew a wide style range from English and Belgian to hoppy American beers, but this lineup really spotlights the malt side.
MugiAnd it's a Setagaya brewpub with around ten taps near Soshigaya-Okura? That's not a casual stop, that's a full mission.
Hop BroThen on June 6 there's also a KatsuNuma brew day at their KatsuNuma BASE, so you get both the drinking side and the brewing side in one story.
MugiYep, I'm ordering both. I want DARKLANDS and ROXANNE side by side right now.
RIOT BEER's Instagram post says that on Saturday, June 6, from 12:00 to 21:00, `DARKLANDS` nitro and `ROXANNE` nitro are on tap. It also notes that a new beer from `Rinko-san` is still in the works, making the day feel active on both the tap and brewing sides.
The brewpub sits in Setagaya, about a 7-minute walk from Soshigaya-Okura Station. On its website, RIOT BEER describes itself as a malt-forward brewery, with beers that range from English-influenced styles to Belgian and hop-forward American styles. Even though it is a small brewery tucked into a residential neighborhood, the taproom is set up for a broad lineup rather than a single house beer.
The beers named in the post point to the brewery's strengths. `DARKLANDS` suggests something roasty and sturdy, while `ROXANNE` leans toward a malt-driven, easy-drinking pint. Served on nitro, both should show a smoother texture and a slower, more relaxed pace. The same post also mentions a Katsunuma BASE brew day on June 6, which fits RIOT BEER's hands-on, community-oriented approach.
