Hop BroGRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido just tapped Ushitora Brewery’s “Sen no Sake ni Natte” as a NEW REAL ALE. That is absolutely worth talking about.
MugiWait, that name is so dramatic! Sen no Sake ni Natte sounds like I need to read poetry before I order it!
Hop BroAnd it’s a 1,000th-batch release from Ushitora, styled as an American Quadruple IPA at 12% ABV.
MugiWhat even is a Quadruple IPA? Four times the hops? Four times the questionable decisions?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a seriously hefty pour with way more body and alcohol than a standard IPA. You get rich malt sweetness and a big hop impact together.
MugiOhhh, so this is a slow-sipping beer, not something you casually gulp between errands. Important distinction!
Hop BroExactly. And GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a fish-and-chips pub with a cozy, approachable feel, so the food pairing matters a lot here.
MugiHold on, what is NEW REAL ALE? Real ale sounds like the beer is about to introduce itself and shake my hand.
Hop BroNothing that dramatic. Think of it as a softer, gentler pour with a rounder texture, which works really well for a big beer like this.
MugiThat makes sense. No flashy event, just sliding it into regular service as a very on-brand guest beer is honestly pretty cool.
Hop BroYeah, and it fits the pub’s East Tokyo spirit too. I can already picture fried food plus 12% being dangerously delicious.
MugiI’m done for. My stomach and my curiosity both lost. I absolutely want a pint in Kameido right now!
