At CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi, B1F, 5-1-5 Roppongi, Brasserie Knot's 'Bird' and YOKOHAMA Bay's 'Freedom' have newly been tapped. Centered on pale ale and West Coast pilsner, the lineup for the day featured a wide range of draft beers.
Hop BroThe Antonbee tap update in Roppongi is something you can't miss. At CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi, Brasserie Knot's 'Bird' and YOKOHAMA Bay's 'Freedom' have just been connected.
MugiWhoa! Bird and Freedom already sound cool just from the names! But it's hard to believe a place in Roppongi has that many draft beers!
Hop BroThis place has around 20 draft beers on hand. Bird is a pale ale, and Freedom is a West Coast pilsner, with firm bitterness taking center stage in both.
MugiA West Coast pilsner? Bitter even though it's a pilsner? Just from the name, it sounds like something refreshing that suddenly comes at you hard!
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it interesting. It's the West Coast style: the drinkability of a pilsner with the aroma and bitterness of hops layered on top. It's crisp, but it still makes its presence known.
MugiOhhh! Then if I compare it with Bird's pale ale, I might really notice the difference in bitterness! Now I suddenly want to pretend I'm a beer expert!
Hop BroAnd on this day, YUZU Weiss was also on the board, so there was a citrusy beer to enjoy as well. The taps also included IPAs, sours, and porters, so the flavor range was pretty wide.
MugiWhat is that! The range of flavors is so wide I might get tipsy just from deciding what to order! And with both sour and porter on the menu, it's practically a department store for beer!
Hop BroThe food is strong too. There are fish and chips, homemade bacon steak, potato salad with homemade smoked eggs, and even arrabbiata, so it's easy to match with beer.
MugiWow, I'm already completely ready to drink! Tasting them together with the food would definitely be fun, and if it opens at 5 p.m. and stays open until midnight, you can really take your time!
Hop BroThen the plan is set. Let's make it a night of bar-hopping through Bird and Freedom in Roppongi, with bitterness and citrus as the snacks.
MugiAgreed! I want to go right now, Hop-nii! Tonight, let's get in a great mood in Roppongi with a draft beer in hand!
