Bar FUKURO opens new taps from Tokyo Aleworks and Flora Fermentation
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has added two new guest beers: Tokyo Aleworks' Flagon Filler and Flora Fermentation's Apollo. The lineup contrasts a classic Best Bitter with a hop-forward Hoppy Lager.
Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata just tapped two new guest beers, and the lineup is perfect for both mellow malt fans and aroma chasers.
MugiWait, perfect for both? So one pours on the cozy vibes and the other snaps you awake?
Hop BroFirst up is Tokyo Aleworks from Itabashi with Flagon Filler. It is a Best Bitter at 4.0% ABV, with gentle malt sweetness and a clean, tidy bitterness like a classic British pub pint.
MugiBest Bitter sounds like maximum bitterness though. Is this where beginners get emotionally abandoned?
Hop BroThat name tricks people. Best Bitter is not just about bitterness. The malt gives it a savory backbone, so it stays balanced and easy to keep drinking.
MugiOoh, so with food it becomes the endless sipper. Quiet on the outside, secretly dangerous.
Hop BroThen there is Flora Fermentation from Higashiomi with Apollo, a Hoppy Lager. It has that crisp lager refreshment, plus hop aromas that feel like peach and pear.
MugiWhat even is that? Peach and pear aromas in a lager? Did it wander through the fruit aisle on the way here?
Hop BroThat fruity lift coming from hops is the fun part. If you want that hand-pump calmness, Flagon Filler is the move; if you want crisp and floral, Apollo wins.
MugiHold on, hand-pump style means what exactly? Do they serve it while doing arm day?
Hop BroClose, but no gym membership required. It points to softer carbonation, which lets the malt feel rounder and gentler, and that fits Flagon Filler really well.
MugiOkay, now I need a Bar FUKURO flight. The June events sound fun too, but I am starting with Apollo.
Hop BroThen I am doing a Flagon Filler lap first and finishing on Apollo for the aroma. At this point, we should probably head to Kamata immediately.
In a post dated June 3, Bar FUKURO announced two new taps.
New tap beers
- Tokyo Aleworks / Flagon Filler
Style: Best Bitter / ABV 4.0%
This beer comes from Tokyo Aleworks in Itabashi, Tokyo. As a Best Bitter, it leans into a gentle malt sweetness and a clean, balanced bitterness. It is the kind of pint that can be sipped slowly without feeling heavy.
- Flora Fermentation / Apollo
Style: Hoppy Lager / ABV 5.5%
Flora Fermentation's lager from Higashiomi, Shiga, adds a refreshing, crisp base with hop-driven aromas reminiscent of peach and pear. The result is a beer with a bright, easygoing palate and a floral finish.
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, continues to pair these guest beers with event announcements for June. On June 5, the bar will host a half tap takeover with TIELS Brewing, titled "fumika birthday half TTO," from 18:00 to 24:00 in a regular-service format. A Black Tide Brewing TTO is also scheduled for June 19 from 18:00 to 24:00, followed by an event-style session on June 20 from 15:00 to 24:00.
For drinkers looking for a malt-forward bitter or a hop-scented lager, the current lineup offers two clear options. The post highlights the appeal of a bar where the tap list keeps changing and the range stays interesting.
