04&Beer released its tap list on May 9, from German weizen to domestic IPA
The beer pub "...04&Beer" in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, posted its tap list on Instagram on May 9. The lineup ranges widely, from German weizen to newly arrived latte-style beers and even a glass labeled as real ale.
Hop BroThe ...04&Beer tap list in Niigata City was posted on May 9, and I thought it was great how it lined up everything from German weizen to domestic IPA all at once.
MugiWhoa! From weizen to IPA? That's way too broad. I'd probably stand in front of the shop holding a meeting just trying to decide where to start!
Hop BroThe first one to notice is Hefe weizen / Plank Brewery. It's a Bavarian wheat beer, and it's the kind of beer that tends to bring out banana-like aromas and a soft mouthfeel.
MugiBanana-like aroma? Does it actually have bananas in it? Or is that just the work of yeast? This is suddenly starting to feel like science class!
Hop BroExactly, it's the aroma created by yeast. When wheat and fermentation-derived esters come together, it gives a fruity, fluffy impression, which is why weizen is perfect as a first beer.
MugiOhhh! Then I'm curious about Niigata's Koshihikari rice-brewed beer too! Brewing with rice gives it this reassuring feel, like something that would go well with a meal!
Hop BroYeah, Koshihikari-brewed beers often have a light, easygoing character. Then when Nagano's SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver. comes in, the bitterness and aroma from the hops really sharpen the outline.
MugiJust hearing IPA makes me brace myself a little, but Silver Label ver. sounds so cool! But it's not just bitter, right?
Hop BroRight. Modern IPAs are also a drink for aroma. And Tochigi's newly arrived Hey, Latte! / Ushitora Brewery has a coffee character, the kind that makes you go, "What is that?!"
MugiThat's amazing! And if they even have Osaka's MINOHBEER PALE ALE (Real Ale), then there should be some roasty goodness too. Even if it's windy today, the reasons to go drink have reached storm-force levels!
Hop BroThe post had that "makes you want to drink even in blasting wind" kind of vibe too, and it sounds fun to pick a beer to match the rugby match. This is the kind of place where I'd want to start with a weizen, move on to an IPA, and finish with the latte-style beer!
MugiYeah, a place where you can't decide on the first glass is the best. Today, I want to compare beers at ...04&Beer and seriously decide which one I like best!
The beer pub "...04&Beer," located at 8-bancho, Nishibori-maedori in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, announced its tap list on Instagram on May 9. In the post, it conveyed the feel of a windy afternoon with the line, "The weather is really nice, but it's blasting," while also announcing a 3 p.m. opening. With rugby-related items visible inside the shop, it looks like a place where you can choose a beer to go with the final match of Japan's domestic rugby regular season.
That day's lineup included Germany's Bavaria-based Hefe weizen / Plank Brewery, Niigata's Koshihikari rice-brewed beer / Swan Lake Beer, Nagano's SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver. / Shiga Kogen Beer, Tochigi's newly arrived Hey, Latte! / Ushitora Brewery, and Osaka's MINOHBEER PALE ALE (Real Ale) / Minoh Beer. With wheat beer, rice-brewed beer, IPA, a coffee-tinged beer, and real ale all represented, the selection clearly showed the differences in drinking style and the fun of comparing them side by side.
The post also mentioned using an amber ale brewed with Ushitora coffee beans as a bridge between beers, suggesting a flow that pays attention not only to bitterness but also to roasted and coffee-like aromas. As a craft-beer-focused shop, its appeal lies in constantly changing taps plus canned and bottled options, and its strength is that in the Furumachi area you can casually build your drinking plan from the very first glass. Even on a windy day, it is the kind of place that makes you want to stop in and check out each beer's character.
