Beer Pub Kirigirisu: Five beers on the March 30 tap list, including two from Ushitora
Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, published its on-tap lineup at 16:01 on March 30. Centered on two beers from Ushitora Brewery, the five-beer lineup also includes COEDO, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and KIRIN, along with notice that it opens at 18:00 and closes at 23:00.
Hop BroToday, Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, is interesting. The March 30 tap list has Ushitora as the two main pillars, which is pretty exciting.
MugiReally? Two Ushitora beers already feels like a guaranteed hit. What beers are on tap?
Hop BroFirst are `Popopopo~ta~` and `Favorite IPA`. Those two are the hop-aroma backbone, so they should really land with anyone who loves aromatic beers.
MugiWhoa! I hear about IPA all the time, but is hop aroma really that different?
Hop BroIn simple terms, IPA puts hop-derived aroma and bitterness in the spotlight. So something like `Favorite IPA` makes it easier to enjoy citrusy aromas and a fresh finish.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about the other taps too. COEDO Kyara-Kyara- sounds pretty serious just from the name!
Hop BroThat’s the good part: `Kyara-Kyara-` and `Imperial Red Ale` tend to show a fuller malt character. When a beer has malt depth, its toastiness and sweetness gain a lot more dimension.
MugiWait, malt means the malted grain, right? So depth of toastiness can change that much in beer!
Hop BroExactly, and having `Heartland` at the end is a nice finish. As a drink that rounds things out, it balances the more distinctive beers when you place it in between.
MugiI get it now. It starts a little adventurous, then ends with something smooth to drink. I like that it also has the comfort of a classic.
Hop BroThe hours are nice too: opens at 18:00 and closes at 23:00, with a relaxed atmosphere suited to solo drinking. Since new entry is only until 22:00, going early is the right move.
MugiAll right, tonight it’s Takashimadaira! If I drink the five draft beers one by one, I’ll probably be too happy to go home!
