Bar FUKURO in Kamata adds two new taps, with Black Tide Brewing TTO set for June 19
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has tapped Ishinomaki Hop Works’ "may the 4th be with you" and VERTERE’s "NOX." The bar also announced a Black Tide Brewing TTO scheduled for June 19 and 20.
Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata just rolled out two fresh taps: Ishinomaki Hop Works' may the 4th be with you and VERTERE's NOX, and a Black Tide Brewing TTO is lined up starting June 19.
MugiWhat! That's a tap-list traffic jam! Two new pours already sound exciting, and now there's a Black Tide Brewing TTO too?
Hop BroFirst up, may the 4th be with you is a Session Pale Ale at 4.0% ABV, but it still shows white grape aromas, lime-like brightness, and even a jasmine tea-like finish.
MugiNo way, 4.0% and flashy? That sounds perfect, light enough to sip easily but still packed with aroma! But 'session' doesn't mean I drink it during office meetings, right?
Hop BroImportant distinction: session-friendly means lower alcohol with enough flavor to stay interesting, so you can enjoy it over a longer stretch without it feeling heavy.
Hop BroThen VERTERE's NOX is a Sour IPA at 7.5% ABV, using lactic fermentation for acidity while bringing juicy pineapple and grapefruit-like hop character.
MugiHold on, lactic fermentation? And now oats and lactose are in the mix too? This beer is starting to sound like breakfast with attitude!
Hop BroBasically, it creates a soft tartness. Then the oats and lactose add roundness, so NOX isn't just sharply sour, it lands with a fuller, smoother mouthfeel.
MugiOkay, so it's easygoing vs punchy depending on my mood. And with BTB pre-pouring on June 19 and the event on June 20, I already want to taste both side by side!
Hop BroExactly, a place with hot-moving taps is impossible to ignore. Start easy with may the 4th be with you, go bold with NOX, then chase the Black Tide Brewing TTO... now I want to be at Bar FUKURO with a glass in hand.
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, has announced a fresh tap update on Instagram. The new lineup brings in two beers from two different Japanese breweries: Ishinomaki Hop Works in Miyagi and VERTERE in Okutama, Tokyo.
Newly tapped beers
- Ishinomaki Hop Works / may the 4th be with you
Session Pale Ale / ABV 4.0%
A lighter beer with plenty of hop character. The caption highlights white-grape-like aromatics, a lime-like freshness, and a jasmine-tea note that adds depth to the finish. It sounds like an easy-drinking pint with layered aroma.
- VERTERE / NOX
Sour IPA / ABV 7.5%
This one goes in a different direction, leaning into bright acidity and a juicy profile. The post describes a combination of lactic fermentation and hops that brings out pineapple and grapefruit-like aromas, while oats and lactose add roundness to the mouthfeel.
Taken together, the two beers show the range Bar FUKURO is working with on tap: one beer that is crisp and approachable, and another that pushes into fuller, tart territory. For beer drinkers in Kamata, it is a practical reminder that this bar keeps its lineup moving.
The post also notes a Black Tide Brewing TTO on June 19 and June 20. June 19 is set to include regular service plus an early Black Tide beer opening, while June 20 is planned as an event-style session. For anyone tracking guest beers in Tokyo, this is one to keep an eye on.
