Hop BroI want to talk about Kataura Lemon Ale on tap at CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Penny Lane today.
MugiWait, that already sounds like summer! A lemon beer doesn't end up too sour?
Hop BroThat is the nice part. It is a Shonan Beer release made with lemons from Kataura in Odawara, built as a refreshing fruit ale.
MugiOhhh! But what is a fruit ale? Is that the style name or what?
Hop BroExactly. It is an ale that highlights fruit character, and this one leans on lemon peel acidity for a refined tart edge.
MugiPeel, as in the skin? Why does this suddenly sound like science class? Tasty lemon skin feels unfair somehow.
Hop BroAnd American hop bitterness layers on top, so it is not just sweet and tangy. It has a real defined flavor shape.
MugiWhat is that, grown-up mode? And the pub has multiple craft beers ready too, right? That is dangerous for me.
Hop BroRight. It is an easy Kichijoji stop, and on a hot day starting with a citrusy guest beer is a very smart move.
MugiThen I am set. I want my first glass to be that, and while drinking it I will plot my second pour!
Hop BroThat is the move. It has that seasonal Shonan Beer charm from Kumazawa Shuzo, and now I just want to raise a glass immediately.
CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Pennylane, a beer pub in Kichijoji Honmachi, shared a guest-beer update on Instagram. Staff member Suzu introduced Shonan Beer’s Kataura Lemon Ale, a refreshing fruit ale made with lemons from the Kataura area of Odawara. The beer is known for its bright acidity from lemon peel and a crisp bitterness from American hops.
The beer is part of Kumazawa Brewing’s Shonan Beer local-product lineup, which gives it a distinctly seasonal citrus character. It is the kind of pint that fits the warmer months well: light enough to start with, but still defined enough for beer fans to follow its aroma and flavor step by step.
The pub itself is located at 1-11-2 Kichijoji Honmachi, in the Development Corporation No. 2 Building on the first floor. The post also made clear that several beers are on offer, so guests can choose according to mood and preference. For anyone looking for an easy first beer in Kichijoji, this citrus-led guest pour is an appealing starting point.
