Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa lists five craft beers for Aug. 26 service
Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, will be open from 12:00 to 22:00 on Wednesday, August 26. Its Instagram post highlights beers from FERMENTRY, GOOD HOPS, CHORYO Craft Beer, and FLORA FERMENTATION, including two newly tapped kegs.
Hop BroShimosuwa's "Chiitoko Shoten," the snack-beer-coffee shop, is open today, August 26, from 12:00 to 22:00 with five craft beers on tap.
MugiWhat! The name already sounds fun, and now there's a Bath Day special vibe too? That's unfairly charming!
Hop BroAnd they have two fresh tappings today: Sour Hazy IPA from CHORYO Craft Beer and Uncountable Pale Ale from GOOD HOPS.
MugiWait, what does fresh tapping mean? Does epic music start playing the second the keg gets hooked up?
Hop BroEmotionally, yes. It just means a newly connected keg. That Sour Hazy IPA has peach-like aroma and a bright tart edge.
MugiOhh! But when you say Hazy IPA, I start imagining a science lab full of suspicious fog!
Hop BroIt just means a cloudy IPA with soft, expanding aroma. Add the sour side and you get apricot-like tang on top of the hops.
MugiOkay, that sounds dangerous in the best way. And the 100% Tono hops part made your beer-nerd eyes sparkle.
Hop BroFor good reason. Uncountable Pale Ale showcases GOOD HOPS' in-house hop, and the rest of the lineup is broad too: FERMENTRY's FRP is a French Pilsner, Crystal Ale is an American Wheat Ale, and FLORA FERMENTATION's Siren is a West Coast IPA.
MugiSo you can bounce from pilsner to wheat to West Coast, then grab cookies, banana bread, or a sausage roll? That is elite snack pairing material.
Hop BroPlus it's prepaid by cash or PayPay, and stroller-friendly, which is properly thoughtful. At this point, I want a pint now.
MugiSame! I'll start with Sour Hazy IPA, you take Uncountable Pale Ale, and we trade halfway. I'm ready to race to Shimosuwa.
Tap list for August 26
Chiitoko Shoten, located in Midamachi Shimo, Shimosuwa, will open on Wednesday, August 26 from 12:00 to 22:00. In its post, the shop framed the day as its regular "bath day" feature and shared a lineup that includes two newly tapped beers.
Beers available that day
- `FRP` / `FERMENTRY` - French Pilsner
- `Crystal Ale` / `GOOD HOPS` - American Wheat Ale
- `Sour Hazy IPA` / `CHORYO Craft Beer` - Sour Hazy IPA
- `Siren` / `FLORA FERMENTATION` - West Coast IPA
- `Uncountable Pale Ale` / `GOOD HOPS` - a pale ale brewed with 100% Tono-grown hops
The two new taps announced in the post were `Sour Hazy IPA` and `Uncountable Pale Ale`. The former is described as a sour hazy IPA with bright acidity and aromas reminiscent of peach and apricot, while the latter is presented as a pale ale centered on GOOD HOPS' own "Uncountable" hop. Together with the regular taps, the lineup covers pilsner, wheat ale, and West Coast IPA, giving drinkers a broad range of styles to choose from.
True to its name, the shop pairs beer with dagashi sweets and coffee. The post also mentions baked goods such as sausage rolls, banana bread, and cookies, making it an easy place to drop in for a light bite alongside a pint. Payment is cash or PayPay in advance, and the shop also accommodates strollers, nursing, and diaper-changing needs.
