Hop BroThe Akihabara beer pub Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has put out a tap list updated on April 12. Two new releases from Nara Brewing are up front, which makes this a pretty eye-catching lineup.
MugiWait, you can really drink at a place like that in Akihabara? Two new releases from Nara Brewing is already enough to make me curious!
Hop BroThe highlights are UNDERWATER: Luminous and Study in Rouge. The key point is that it's designed to be smooth to drink at 6%, bringing out the malt character without feeling too heavy.
MugiBringing out the malt character? What does that even mean! When you say it doesn't feel too heavy, it sounds dangerously easy to keep gulping down!
Hop BroExactly. Rather than pushing hard with flashy aromas, it's the kind of beer that shows off its malt. Keeping the aftertaste of the UNDERWATER line while allowing for a spring-like tasting comparison is what makes it fun.
MugiOhhh! And the core is Yatsugatake Touchdown, too. With such a broad range from lagers on up, isn't that basically a dream shelf?
Hop BroExactly. Along with Pilsner, Dunkel, Kiyosato Lager, and Rock Weizen, it also has fruit-forward beers like Yamanashi Peach Weizen and Fresh Yuzu Lager.
MugiIt already sounds tasty from the names alone! But Weizenbock and Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver.2 sound a bit like spells. Are those German-sounding spells?
Hop BroHaha, they're not spells, they're style names. Weizen is a wheat beer, bock means stronger, and dry hopping means adding hops for aroma, so basically it's a wheat beer with extra aroma.
MugiOh, now I think I get it! And if it's varied by region and style, it sounds fun to get lost in the lineup, even with RePubrew and Jungle Juice!
Hop BroExactly. They also allow takeout, and it's a pretty strong lineup for drinking and comparing beers in Akihabara. Today is the kind of list that makes you want to chug down the classics and the new releases all at once, so one glass may not be enough.
MugiThat's completely dangerous! But I'm also so drawn in by this tap list that makes me want to drink, I feel like Akihabara is pulling me in!
