Shiga Kogen Beer "Africa Pale Ale" Tapped at Craft Beer Sakaba Citrava Nakano
Craft Beer Sakaba Citrava Nakano announced the new tap of Shiga Kogen Beer's "Africa Pale Ale" in a May 3 post. The shop is open daily from 2 p.m. through May 6, offering craft beer and food in a calm interior.
Hop BroA long-awaited tap-in in Nakano: Shiga Kogen Beer's Africa Pale Ale has been tapped at Craft Beer Sakaba Citrava Nakano. That's the kind of thing beer fans notice right away.
MugiWhat! It's called Africa Pale Ale, but it sounds like it's about to send me on a journey! And it's Shiga Kogen Beer, so it already feels like it's going to be delicious!
Hop BroThe funny thing is, even though the name says pale ale, the article introduces it with a session IPA-like lightness. Easy to drink, but with bitterness that still comes through clearly. That's a really nice balance.
MugiWhat's a session IPA anyway? Does session mean it's like a meeting you keep attending forever? When they say it's easy to drink, I suddenly feel a lot more attached to it!
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it's a style made to be easy to drink glass after glass. The alcohol is kept lower, but you still get the hop aroma and bitterness, so it's perfect for a cheerful day.
MugiI see! So it's perfect for leisurely having a drink on a warm day. And Citrava Nakano is open every day until May 6 from 2 p.m.? That's so generous!
Hop BroThe calm interior, a little away from the bustle of Nakano Station, is nice too. With counter seats, tables, and even a terrace, it's strong on being a place where solo drinking feels comfortable.
MugiWait, there's terrace seating too! If I feel the breeze while drinking beer, my brain is basically already declaring victory! And 15 kinds of draft beer means it would take me an hour just to choose!
Hop BroWhat's more, the food is great too. They have the signature Citrava Chicken, stewed beef offal, shumai, and clay-pot rice, so the pub food selection is rich, which makes it appealing that the experience doesn't end with just the beer.
MugiWow, that's dangerous! I could drink the Africa Pale Ale, eat the chicken, and probably go for another glass. Today, I feel like I want to get pulled into the very center of the enjoyment of drinking!
