Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis Pours Black Tide Brewing’s Hoya Boya BRUT ALE
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro posted on June 20 about a rainy-day pairing of dark mild and fish and chips. The bar also highlighted a canned craft beer from Black Tide Brewing’s new Hoya Friends Beer line: the third release, Hoya Boya BRUT ALE.
Hop BroNakameguro’s Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis just served up the perfect rainy-day combo: dark mild and fish & chips. The mood alone already tastes good.
MugiWait, what even is a rainy-day dark mild? It sounds dark and serious, but is it actually easy to drink?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a gentle dark beer vibe with toasty malt, softer than it looks, and really good with fried fish.
MugiOoh, so not a punch-you-in-the-face stout, more like a cozy pairing moment. Even the rainy season is showing off.
Hop BroAnd their can pickup is Black Tide Brewing’s new Hoya Friends Beer line, third release: Hoya-boya BRUT ALE.
MugiWhat is BRUT ALE, exactly? That sounds like champagne wandered onto a beer menu wearing sunglasses.
Hop BroPretty much. Brut means the sugars ferment out for a champagne-like dry finish. You get passionfruit and grapefruit aromas, ABV 5.0%, low bitterness, and a 370ml can.
MugiSo it smells fruity but drinks crisp? Sweet-sounding but not sweet is doing a lot to my brain right now.
Hop BroIt’s also a collab with Kesennuma’s mascot Hoya-boya, and the first two releases sold out fast, so this is not a sit-and-think beer.
MugiThat is absolutely a see it, order it situation. Blink once and you’re left holding only the fries.
Hop BroExactly. Sitting in oasis with food, rain outside, and a beer in hand sounds dangerously ideal right now.
MugiI’m done for, I need Hoya-boya BRUT ALE tonight and maybe a dark mild too, just to defeat the rainy season properly.
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro posted on Instagram on June 20 with a rainy-season drinking suggestion: dark mild with fish and chips. The message fits a beer pub built around slowing down, eating, and drinking at an easy pace.
The post also spotlights a canned craft beer served in limited quantities at the bar. The featured beer is Black Tide Brewing’s Hoya Friends Beer, release No. 3, "Hoya Boya BRUT ALE." According to the brewery text quoted in the post, the beer comes in a 370 ml can, is 5.0% ABV, and is low in bitterness. It is described as having fruity aromas reminiscent of passion fruit and grapefruit, with a dry, Champagne-like finish.
The brand is tied to Kesennuma’s local mascot Hoya Boya, following earlier collaborations and a partnership agreement. The post notes that the first and second releases sold out quickly, so this third installment also appears to be a beer worth grabbing early if you spot it. For beer fans in Tokyo, oasis looks like the kind of place where a simple plate of fish and chips and a well-chosen canned beer can turn a rainy day into a good one.
