KARAKURI Taps Minoh Beer’s Grefru Sour on June 26
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda announced a June 26 (Fri) service schedule together with the tap opening of Minoh Beer’s Grefru Sour. The sour ale is described as grapefruit-forward, with tropical hops and a crisp, refreshing finish.
Hop BroKanda's evening just got more interesting, because a new keg is opening at KARAKURI: Minoh Beer’s “Grapefruit Sour.” It’s being poured from 5:00 p.m. on June 26.
MugiWhat! Grapefruit Sour already sounds like summer in a glass. Is this one of those beers you accidentally finish way too fast?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a sour ale, loaded with grapefruit, but still built to feel refreshing as an actual beer, not just fruit juice.
MugiWait, what is a sour ale exactly? That sounds like something brewed in a science lab and handed over with safety goggles.
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it’s simple: think clean, bright acidity in a beer. That tart snap makes it easy to drink when the weather gets hot.
MugiOkay, I’m with you. But the article also says tropical hops. Are the hops on vacation now too?
Hop BroFair question. Tropical hops just means hop varieties that give off mango- or citrus-like aromas, so the beer gets both fruit character and a cooling, crisp feel.
MugiSo the grapefruit isn’t doing a solo performance, it’s got backup dancers. And if it has a light body, that sounds perfect for the first drink of the night.
Hop BroExactly. And KARAKURI is a beer pub with creative oden dishes, so pairing that tart, refreshing profile with fried food or oden could be seriously good.
MugiHold on, oden with sour ale? Now I really need to try this. And from 5 to 11 p.m. means it actually fits a post-work stop.
Hop BroRight, just keep the last order times in mind and go early if you can. As a beer for the warmer season, this sounds like a very smart pick.
MugiThen it’s settled. Let’s go to KARAKURI in Kanda and make that first sip of Minoh Beer’s Grapefruit Sour our official start to summer.
