Beer Stand Amber Rondo in Sendai closes its Special Weekend on June 14 with 10 draft beers and garlic shrimp
Beer Stand Amber Rondo, a beer pub in Honcho, Sendai, reaches the final day of its Special Weekend on June 14. The lineup includes a Sendai Kuroku collaboration garlic shrimp dish plus 10 draft beers from Kirin, Great Dane, Black Tide, and more.
Hop BroBeer Stand Amber Rond in Honcho, Sendai hits the final day of Special Weekend on June 14. Doors open at 3:00 p.m., and they’ve got 10 beers on tap plus garlic shrimp, which is a pretty serious lineup.
MugiWhat! That last-day energy is wild. Ten beers would already break my decision-making, and now garlic shrimp is jumping into the ring too?
Hop BroAnd the kitchen feature is Gen Aota from Sendai Kuroku and Salut, recreating the Hawaiian dish as two kinds of garlic shrimp. You get to choose classic or lemon butter, which makes the choice even harder.
MugiNo way! The lemon-butter temptation is too strong. But if I’m pairing it with beer, which tap is the headline act?
Hop BroHonestly, a lot of them are headliners. There’s Kirin Ichiban Shibori Premium, Great Dane’s DDH WC DIPA and Everyday IPA, Black Tide’s 6th anniversary SiX ESB, and Other Half’s Space Dream. It’s a stacked 10-tap lineup.
MugiHold on, DDH WC DIPA? Is that a beer or a spell? If I order that, do I instantly gain five beer levels?
Hop BroThink of it as an extra-hoppy IPA and you’re close. DDH means extra dry-hopping, WC means West Coast-style crispness, and DIPA means stronger alcohol with bigger aroma and bitterness.
MugiOhhh, got it. Then I might want something a bit gentler first. For an easy entry pick, what would you recommend?
Hop BroRiegele’s Kellerbier is soft and unfiltered, and Schneider Weisse Aventinus is rich with banana-and-spice vibes. Plus, through June 14 there’s an 18% off campaign on Ishinomaki Hop Works draft, some Schneider and Riegele pours, and even their grilled gyoza.
MugiThat’s unfair in the best way. If I can do a Sendai beer flight with garlic shrimp and gyoza on the side, I’m already making my first-sip face.
Hop BroFor a calm spot in central Sendai, this kind of tap list and food pairing is the real deal. The next pint is calling, and at this point I want to head there before finishing the sentence.
