Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates its June 14 tap list with Rio Brewing beers
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara in Akihabara shared its June 14 tap list, led by three new beers from Rio Brewing. The lineup also includes a mix of collaborations and seasonal styles, giving beer fans a broad tasting range.
Hop BroAkihabara is looking dangerous today. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updated its taps for June 14, and the big headline is three new Rio Brewing beers.
MugiWhat! A beer incident in Akihabara? So a tap update is basically the day the bar's magic faucets get more tempting?
Hop BroThat's pretty much it. The stars are Rio Brewing's "Blind Deep," "Albus," and "Pipe Dream," and the range of styles is seriously nice.
MugiThose names already sound intense! But "Pipe Dream" is a hazy double IPA, right? What is hazy? Do I drink it inside a cloud?
Hop BroNot inside a cloud, no. Think cloudy-style IPA: slightly opaque, softer on the palate, and often juicy in feel. Pipe Dream brings orange, peach, and citrusy notes.
MugiOoh, so it's basically a fruit-forward heavyweight. Then "Albus" says NZ hop aroma and suddenly we're going international!
Hop BroNZ means New Zealand hops. With soft wheat texture, plus grape-like and citrusy hop character, Albus sounds light, fluffy, and really drinkable.
MugiOkay... and then "Blind Deep" is a mizunara barrel-aged stout? That is aggressively dark. Mizunara sounds like expensive furniture, not beer!
Hop BroThat's exactly why it's good. Mizunara barrel aging can add woody, elegant, almost Japanese-style nuance, and that gives the stout's roasted character more depth.
MugiAnd there are more like Repubrew's "AGE AGE SAME AGE," WAR × unica's "Vita Amara," and HINO Brewing × Two Rabbits' "Bud Bunny"? That's collab beer overload in the best way.
Hop BroExactly. There's also ZUMONA's "Weizen," Tochigi Very Berry Sour, Strawberry Dark Saison, and BANK IPA, so you get seasonal variety too. Takeout is available, and payment options are broad.
MugiWith growlers, plastic cups, and easy hours, this is officially tonight's detour plan. I'm starting with Pipe Dream, you're taking Blind Deep, and now I really want that first toast.
