BEER SPACE on Tap in Kobe adds KUNITACHI BREWERY "1926"
BEER SPACE on Tap in Kobe's Motomachi added KUNITACHI BREWERY's Kölsch "1926" on June 5. The current tap list also spans several Japanese breweries, giving the bar a solid Friday-night lineup.
Hop BroFriday detour material: KUNITACHI BREWERY's 1926 just went on tap at Beer Space On Tap in Motomachi, Kobe.
MugiWait, 1926 sounds like a year. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a 4.5% easygoing Kolsch with delicate notes like lemon, white grape, and green apple, plus a soft malt touch.
MugiWhoa, but what even is Kolsch? That sounds like a finishing move.
Hop BroShort version: it's a clean, polished style that lands between flashy ales and heavier lagers. Brewers cold-condition it so everything comes together.
MugiOkay, so it's perfect for a Friday first pint. Quiet at first, then suddenly I'm obsessed?
Hop BroExactly, and the name comes from the old Kunitachi station year. Very neat beer-nerd detail, and it fits the drink-more, like-more vibe.
MugiA beer with history? Amazing. And On Tap is friendly for solo drinkers too, right? That makes the detour dangerously easy.
Hop BroThe rest of the taps are strong too, with a wide tasting range. Lockheart, Shirokujichu, Lemon Ale, Mr.GREEN TACKLE, and Hoppy Weizen are all in the mix.
MugiThat's not a lineup, that's a cancel-my-plans formation. And they're showing Japan vs Tunisia on June 21 too? This place is bait.
Hop BroThen the move is start with 1926 in the Kobe Plaza Hotel basement, and wander into KESENNNUMA PRIDE or Edelpils after that.
MugiDone. I need to verify that green-apple aroma myself, and I already know we'll both say one more pint at least three times.
BEER SPACE on Tap, a beer pub in Kobe's Motomachi district, has put KUNITACHI BREWERY's Kölsch "1926" on tap. The bar is located in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel and presents itself as a smoke-free, solo-friendly beer spot.
"1926" is described as a 4.5% Kölsch with delicate notes that call to mind lemon, white grapes, and green apple, layered over a gentle malt character. Rather than a loud hop bomb, it is built around balance and drinkability, the kind of beer that gets better as you keep drinking. The name comes from the year the old Kunitachi Station building was completed.
Other beers on tap that day include:
- Free Spirits Brewing "Lockheart"
- Edelpils
- KUNITACHI BREWERY "Shirokujichu" (四六時中)
- FUKUOKA CRAFT "Lemon Ale"
- Repubrew "Mr.GREEN TACKLE (N2Ver.)"
- BLACK TIDE "KESENNNUMA PRIDE"
- Minoh Beer "Hoppy Weizen"
The lineup ranges from light, easy-drinking options to more characterful pours, making it a practical stop for a first Friday pint or a longer tasting session. The post also notes a broadcast of the World Cup match between Japan and Tunisia on June 21.
