RIOT BEER in Setagaya to open July 7 with Meyer lemon gose
RIOT BEER, a brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya, Tokyo, announced hours of 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on July 7. The post also highlighted an obanzai day, a Meyer lemon gose planned for release in Katsunuma, and a slate of upcoming events.
Hop BroI want to talk about RIOT BEER today. They’re open on July 7 from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and it’s also Elly’s obanzai day.
MugiWhat! So it’s not just beer, it’s obanzai day too? My stomach would show up before I do!
Hop BroAnd the big highlight is the Meyer lemon gose. It uses Meyer lemons from Atashika Days in Kumano, Mie, and it’s slated to be tapped in Katsunuma.
MugiWait, what is that! When you say lactic fermentation, it suddenly sounds like science class. We’re still talking about beer, right!?
Hop BroStill beer, definitely. It’s basically a way to create bright, refreshing tartness, kind of like the soft tang of yogurt, layered with juicy Meyer lemon character.
MugiOhhh! So this is a summer sour crusher kind of beer? I can already feel my throat asking for a sip!
Hop BroExactly. And RIOT BEER is a brewpub with house-made beer, so the whole appeal is pairing their own brews with food in the same place.
MugiThat’s not strong, that’s unfairly good! And if White Dog beers might show up too, the taps are basically turning into a mini festival!
Hop BroPlus they’ve got Fermentation Neighborhood vol. 05 on July 9 and a tapping party at Katsunuma Base on July 11, so this opening feels like the warm-up round.
MugiIf the warm-up is this good, what does the main event look like? The phrase pre-event pint already has me fully invested!
Hop BroWith the weather getting hotter, I really want to check out that defined edge of acidity for myself. Pair it with obanzai, and that first glass could be dangerous in the best way.
MugiThat settles it. I want a drink right now, and I want it to be a Meyer lemon gose in Setagaya with obanzai on the side!
