Six taps updated at cedar mountain shop in Shimokitazawa, FETISH CLUB "ESPER" tapped
The Shimokitazawa beer pub and craft beer specialty shop cedar mountain shop has updated its current ON TAP lineup. In addition to six varieties including passific Brewing "CHAKO" and FLORA FERMENTATION "Frigg," FETISH CLUB "ESPER" has also been newly tapped.
Hop BroShimokitazawa's cedar mountain shop has updated its ON TAP lineup with six beers this time. And with FETISH CLUB's "ESPER" added too, it's a pretty bold lineup.
MugiWhoa, six taps! An all-at-once refresh feels like a victory parade in front of the fridge, doesn't it?
Hop BroThis time the range goes from IPA styles to lager, but the one that jumps out first is passific Brewing's "CHAKO." As a west coast IPA, it's the kind where the hop contours really stand out.
MugiContours? Beer suddenly turned into art class!? What even are hop contours?
Hop BroSimply put, the aroma and bitterness are sharp and don't blur together. And FETISH CLUB's "ESPER" has a crystal-clear taste and a fruity brightness, with a slightly bitter finish left behind.
MugiOhhh! So "ESPER" is sharp but easy to drink. Having that fruity brightness gives it a bit of a treat-like feel!
Hop BroExactly. And this shop also has FLORA FERMENTATION's "Frigg," a Strawberry Milkshake Ale, Totopia Brewery's "DUSKphodia" as a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and Open Air's "hop viking," so the aroma side of things is pretty fun.
MugiWait, what's a milkshake ale? What, does the beer world have a dessert section?
Hop BroIt does. It's a style that tends to bring out sweetness and fruitiness, but of course it's still beer. And they also have Namachan Brewing's "Namachan's Lager," so people who prefer drinkability have a proper option too.
MugiSo you attack with IPA and reset with lager, huh. And when you hear there are four bottled beers in stock too, you want to try it on tap first and then chase the bottles!
Hop BroExactly. Compare six taps in Shimokitazawa, get ESPER's sharp edge and Frigg's sweetness, and finish by settling down with a lager. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to head there with a glass in hand right now, isn't it?
MugiYeah, that's exactly the vibe! It already looks like tonight's drink is decided in Shimokitazawa, and now I want to go drinking with you too!
