GOOD AFTERNOON at karuizawa Q highlights house beer Siesta with grilled beef rib roast
GOOD AFTERNOON, the brewpub space on the second floor of karuizawa Q in Karuizawa, introduced its house beer “Siesta” (Mexican lager) alongside grilled beef rib roast. The post also notes that early dinner slots were still available.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: GOOD AFTERNOON in Karuizawa is pairing its house beer with grilled meat, and honestly, that’s dangerous in the best way.
MugiWhat! Beer and steak together already sounds unfair. So what beer are we talking about?
Hop BroThe star is Siesta Mexican Lager, a clean, crisp lager that cuts through the richness of beef rib roast beautifully.
MugiWait, Mexican lager? What is that supposed to mean? My brain just went straight to tacos!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a clean easy-drinking lager. Low funk, refreshing finish, and it stays out of the food’s way.
MugiOkay, so basically it’s the steak’s best friend. That sounds perfect for a summer energy boost!
Hop BroExactly, and GOOD AFTERNOON is a brewpub above the brewery, so you get draft craft beer right next to where it’s made.
MugiWait, opens at 3 p.m.? That hits the exact sweet spot between late lunch and early drinks. I am extremely vulnerable to this plan.
Hop BroIt gets better: they even mention great with red wine too, which says a lot about how solid that grilled beef rib roast is.
MugiNo way, a drink in Karuizawa was supposed to be casual, and now I’m fully seated with steak in my future.
Hop BroHours are 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., with last order at 9. Sounds like early hours are the smart move if you want a seat.
MugiThat settles it, I want this now. One gulp of Siesta, one bite of steak, and my whole afternoon is fixed.
