Hop BroThis is an update to the tap list at Craft Beer Market Kanda today, right? The May 14 post makes it easy to see what’s currently pouring in the shop.
MugiWhoa! That many? A big 30-TAP lineup sounds like I’d get totally lost in there!
Hop BroAnd there are four new taps: Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, NUDE BEER HOKAZE, CYCAD BREWING Kanda Tonic, and HORSEHEAD LABS Kambara Ale.
MugiWait, there’s everything from lagers to real ale? Isn’t that basically a beer conference room?
Hop BroMore like a taste-test shelf by mood. They’ve got everything from light, easy pours to strongly hopped beers, so you can play around depending on what you feel like drinking today.
MugiThen as a beginner, it might be safer for me to start with something gentle like Hoegaarden White? But does “white” mean white beer?
Hop BroExactly. It’s not so much about being white in color as it is about the softness from wheat. They also have wheat-driven beers like VECTOR BREWING Shiro Neko Punch and SCHMATZ Weizen, so they should be light and easy to drink.
MugiOhh! So there are dark beers too? A name like Kekko Maroyaka Stout already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThere are, and that’s one of Kanda’s strengths. It even includes fruit- and spice-driven beers. For example, you can pick something playful like ogna Apple Hop - Orin - or Iwate Kura Beer Sansho Ale.
MugiThat’s amazing! And Kanda Tonic is the last keg, right? I’ve gotta hurry before it disappears!
Hop BroExactly. The key with beers like that is timing. It’s a strong choice for dropping in after work and comparing beers easily. It’s close to Kanda Station too, so today feels like the kind of place where the two of us would each want to choose one drink.
MugiYeah, I’m going to start with something easy to drink! But in the end I’ll still be curious about the IPAs, and we’ll probably end up stuck in front of the tap board together!
