Craft Beer Server Land Releases April 4 Tap List, Featuring a Diverse Selection of Guest Beers
The Kagurazaka beer pub Craft Beer Server Land has released its tap list for April 4. From Beer Hearn's Weizen and Ise Kadoya Beer’s West Coast Pilsner to a dark beer from the Chichibu Beer lineup, it offers a broad range of styles to enjoy by the glass or pint.
Hop BroCraft Beer Server Land, down in the basement of Kagurazaka, has put out its April 4 tap list. From white styles to IPA to dark beer, it’s a really fun lineup for tasting side by side today.
MugiWhoa, a wide range of styles all at once!? It already sounds delicious before I even choose. How is it laid out?
Hop BroThe wheat beers are especially strong. Beer Hearn Weizen, Numazu Craft's FLEUR DE SAISON, and Nihonkai Club's Weizen make for a lineup that's easy to compare for aroma and mouthfeel.
MugiOhhh, but what makes Weizen that different? When you say wheat character, I only have a vague idea of it.
Hop BroIn rough terms, yeast-derived banana-like aromas and a soft texture tend to come through. The key is enjoying the differences in aroma and mouthfeel; even within the same wheat-beer style, the impression changes quite a bit.
MugiI see! Then the lager section is interesting too! Ise Kadoya Beer's West Coast Pilsner sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: Fresh-pressed Beyond the Pacific has the crispness of a pilsner with added hop definition. Akita Akura's Akita Komachi IPL and Hansharo Beer's Agari Red Lager are also there, so the range spans from mellow drinkability to sharp finish.
MugiWait, IPL is another new spell!? Is that different from IPA? And there's a red lager too? My head is all foam now!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, a style that uses lager yeast while still expressing strong hop character. Its appeal is the balance of mellow character and aroma, and that's one of the biggest highlights of this tap list.
MugiWow, there are tons of IPAs too, and hop-forward labels are all lined up! Hazy IPA, 808IPA... the names alone make me want to drink them!
Hop BroAnd there are even sour and dark beers. With the Whey Sour Ale Strawberry, Chichibu Beer’s Namimachi Black Kuma, Rokko Beer’s Porter, and even Yebisu at the end, you can finish however you like.
MugiAnd if I can try them a little at a time for 700 yen a glass, that's amazing! In the basement near Kagurazaka Station, choosing 'this is the one for today' while looking at the tap list sounds absolutely fun.
Hop BroExactly. A place where you can carefully choose today's drink is irresistible for beer lovers. You can see wheat beers all the way to dark beers, so now I want to go and drink there too.
MugiI'm completely in that mood too! I want to start the night of side-by-side tastings right now!
At Craft Beer Server Land, located in the basement of Kagurazaka, the beer lineup for April 4 was announced. From white styles to IPA and dark beer, the selection is broad enough to make a day of side-by-side tastings.
The big highlight this time is the strength of the wheat-beer lineup. Beer Hearn Weizen, Numazu Craft FLEUR DE SAISON, and Nihonkai Club Weizen form a trio that makes it easy to compare aroma and mouthfeel. In the lager section that follows, Akita Akura Beer Akita Komachi IPL, Ise Kadoya Beer Fresh-pressed Beyond the Pacific (West Coast Pilsner), and Hansharo Beer Agari Red Lager are on tap, offering a wide range from gentle drinkability to pronounced hop character.
Among the ales, FLORA FERMENTATION LUPUS (Pale Ale), Minami Shinshu Beer Golden Ale, Swan Lake Beer Miel Blanc, and Sakura Brewery BLAZING RED appear. The IPA selection is packed with hop-forward labels such as GARCIA BREWING SOL NASIENTE Hazy IPA, 808 Brewery 808IPA, Nagisa Beer IPA, and Voyager Brewing IPA. Also on tap are Sankt Gallen Whey Sour Ale Strawberry, Chichibu Beer Namimachi Black Kuma (Milk Stout), Rokko Beer Porter, and Sapporo Beer Yebisu.
Prices are 700 yen for a glass (270 ml) and 1,100 yen for a pint (US 473 ml). As befits a beer pub near Kagurazaka Station, the calm underground space seems well suited to trying a few styles little by little. Rather than pairing with a meal, it is the kind of place where you want to study the tap list first and choose today's drink.
