Taki in Shibuya taps Minoh Beer’s Grapefruit Sour and Haikara Pils
Taki, a beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka area, tapped two Minoh Beer releases on July 10: Grapefruit Sour and Haikara Pils. The lineup offers a bright, citrusy sour ale and a crisp Italian Pilsner in one visit.
Hop BroTaki in Shibuya just tapped two Minoh beers: Grapefruit Sour and Haikara Pils. That lineup is dangerously good for a hot day.
MugiWhat! The name contrast alone is wild. One sounds bright and juicy, and the other sounds stylishly retro!
Hop BroFirst, Grapefruit Sour is a fruity sour ale loaded with grapefruit. It sits at 4.5% ABV and 22 IBU, so it is built to drink easy.
MugiHold on, ABV and IBU again? Why does beer always sound like it comes with exam terms?
Hop BroNothing scary there. ABV means alcohol strength, IBU is a bitterness guide, so this one lands light and refreshing with bright tart citrus up front.
MugiOoh, then my first pour is definitely Grapefruit Sour. That sounds like the kind of sip that revives you instantly after work.
Hop BroThen Haikara Pils is an Italian-style pilsner at 5.5% ABV and 35 IBU, with soft malt, elegant hop aroma, and a crisp finish.
MugiWait, what are noble hops? Are these hops wearing tiny crowns or something?
Hop BroPretty much aristocratic by reputation. Noble hops are known for refined, delicate aroma, so this beer really nails crispness with elegance instead of just brute bitterness.
MugiAnd taki has seasonal food and fresh fish too, right? My pairing cravings just activated at full power.
Hop BroExactly. They rotate three craft taps, open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. on weekends, so it is a perfect Shibuya detour for one really good pint.
MugiI am fully sold now. Start tart, finish crisp is such a strong game plan that I want to head to taki immediately!
