Hop BroKanda has a great tap update today: at KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake-, two Shiga Kogen taps just went on.
MugiWait, those two beers sound serious. What are they?
Hop BroFirst up is from scratch(nitro). It was brewed to mark THE FARMHOUSE getting fully back in action, and it sounds rich while staying really smooth.
MugiWhat is that! Nitro service suddenly makes this sound like science class.
Hop BroThat part matters, because tiny nitrogen bubbles give it a creamy, velvety feel instead of sharp fizzy carbonation.
MugiOoh! Then Snow Monkey IPA orange ver. is basically orange mode activated?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. Think Valencia orange and iyokan on the citrus side, layered with white-peach tropical notes and that hazy IPA softness.
MugiWhoa, that hazy IPA sweetness sounds so fancy... so is it soft like juice but still properly beer?
Hop BroExactly, but here comes the Shiga Kogen move: bitterness and dryness slide in at the end, so it never finishes sugary.
MugiThat is dangerous. Another-round energy for sure. Pair that with oden and I am finished.
Hop BroThat is KARAKURI's strength: in that calm basement space, oden and guest taps keep playing off each other, and there is sake too. On August 12 it is open from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m., and now I want a pint.
MugiI want to head there right after work! Start with the first pint, go silky with from scratch, then finish with Snow Monkey IPA orange ver.!
At KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda, two guest taps from Shiga Kogen Beer have been opened. The basement beer pub is known for craft beer, sake, natural wine, and oden-focused dishes, so the new lineup fits naturally with food.
The first beer is `from scratch(nitro)`. According to the post, it was brewed to mark the reopening of THE FARMHOUSE’s full business, and it is served on nitro for a smooth texture. KARAKURI describes it as genuinely delicious and full of character.
The second beer is `Snow Monkey IPA orange ver.`. The pub describes it as a much-loved Snow Monkey IPA with a vivid orange direction, bringing citrus notes like Valencia orange and iyokan together with a hint of white-peach-like tropical character. It keeps the soft sweetness of a hazy IPA, while still showing Shiga Kogen Beer’s firm bitterness and dry finish.
