Hop BroCRAFTROCK's Sansho Lager in Kichijoji was introduced as a World Beer Cup gold medal winner. It's got that "I want to drink this on a rainy day" vibe, which already feels like a guaranteed win.
MugiWait! Sansho is that prickly, tingling spice, right? If you put that in beer, wouldn't it totally surprise your mouth!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it: the star is the fresh character of whole sansho pepper. The crispness of the lager and the citrus-like aroma come together smoothly, so it doesn't feel heavy.
MugiOhhh! But lager just makes me think of something "serious and refreshing," you know? If you add sansho, isn't that pretty distinctive?
Hop BroExactly, that contrast is the good part. The crisp lager meets the aroma of sansho, so the moment you drink it, you go, "Oh, what's this?"
MugiWhat! And it's connected on multiple taps, so can you even do a side-by-side tasting of the same brewery? That's the entrance to a rabbit hole!
Hop BroRight, and since it's a beer pub on the first floor of Atre Kichijoji, it's easy to drop in. Being able to pop in casually near the station is a big plus too. A drink while you're out shopping just fits perfectly.
MugiWait, and if you pay cash you even get a 5% discount coupon? That's the kind of thing that makes it hard to say, "I'm not drinking today!"
Hop BroAnd they also have the Bon Appetit! Course, so you can eat your way from appetizers to pasta. Amberjack carpaccio, French fries, and then pairing that with Sansho Lager would make for a pretty great night, wouldn't it?
MugiNow I completely want to go! It has the buzz of an award-winning beer, and if you can do a tasting comparison too, this might be the first stop in Kichijoji!
Hop BroYeah, it's a place that works for a rainy-day drink or a reward after work. Today is definitely one of those times when the scent of sansho makes you want to head out for a drink.
