ROMEO BREWERY Launches Appetizer Set with Three-Beer Tasting
ROMEO BREWERY in Oshiage has introduced a new appetizer set paired with a three-beer tasting flight. The lineup features Ume Gose, Nebbia, and Black Botanical Saison, and each beer can also be ordered on its own. The owner says the set will be refreshed about once a month.
Hop BroToday’s topic is a three-beer flight. ROMEO BREWERY in Oshiage started a new pairing set with an appetizer plate on August 27.
MugiWait, appetizers and beer were planned together from the start? That feels so classy I want to order it immediately!
Hop BroAnd the first round is strong, with three owner-picked pairings: Ume Gose with marinated fresh fish and plum sauce, Nebbia with chicken tender fritto and Genovese sauce, and Black Botanical Saison with chicken liver pate.
MugiHold on, Gose and Hazy just sounded like magic spells! I’m sure they taste great, but my brain is lagging behind!
Hop BroStart with Ume Gose as plum-salty lemonade vibes. It has ripe plum sweetness and tartness, plus the gentle salinity typical of a gose, so it cushions the acidity of the fish marinade really nicely.
MugiOh wow, marinade meets plum actually makes total sense. I can already see my first glass disappearing with just the appetizer!
Hop BroNebbia is a triple-hop build of Hazy IPA, using Galaxy, Citra, and Ekuanot to push big citrus aroma. Oats and wheat make the texture smooth, so it adds body to the fritto and the herbal Genovese sauce.
MugiWhat even is juniper doing here? And saison yeast sounds like a person I’m supposed to know. My brain is officially on a brewery field trip!
Hop BroBlack Botanical Saison is toasty but still brisk, and that’s the fun part. Roasted malt gives it depth, juniper berry adds a forest-like freshness, and saison yeast keeps the finish dry enough to slice through the liver pate. You can order each beer solo too, and the set should rotate about once a month, which really makes you want to drink through it.
MugiNope, I want Oshiage now. Start light with Ume Gose, get wrapped in aroma with Nebbia, then finish clean with Black Botanical Saison... that is absolutely a lineup that makes me want a drink!
ROMEO BREWERY is a self-brewed craft-beer pub in Oshiage where beer and food are designed to work together. In its latest announcement, the brewery introduced a new appetizer set paired with a three-beer tasting flight. The service window for August 27 was listed as 17:30 to 23:00.
The first lineup is:
- Ume Gose with marinated fresh fish in plum sauce
- Nebbia with fried chicken tenderloins and genovese sauce
- Black Botanical Saison with chicken liver pâté
Ume Gose is a gose built around the tartness of ripe plum and a gentle salty sweetness. Nebbia is a juicy hazy IPA loaded with citrus hops, with Galaxy, Citra, and Ekuanot bringing a smooth, soft body from oats and wheat. Black Botanical Saison combines roasted malt, juniper berries, and saison yeast, finishing crisp after a toasted, lightly coffee-like character.
What makes the set interesting is the way the food and beer roles are split: bright acidity for the plum-marinated fish, aromatic hop weight for the fried chicken, and a drier, more savory finish for the liver pâté. Single orders are available too, so it works both as a tasting introduction and as a way to approach the menu one beer at a time.
The brewery says the set was built by the owner, who has spent plenty of time drinking these beers, and it should be updated roughly monthly. For beer fans visiting near Skytree, it is a clear example of a brewpub making pairing the starting point rather than an afterthought.
