MARCA BREWING's BLACK IPA is tapped at CHICKEN BOY in Imaike, Nagoya
At the beer pub CHICKEN BOY in Imaike, Nagoya, a BLACK IPA from @beer_marca has been announced on tap. Paired with charcoal-grilled yakitori, this guest beer is one to watch for its roasty aroma and bitterness typical of a black IPA.
Hop BroA MARCA BREWING BLACK IPA has been tapped at CHICKEN BOY in Imaike. Looking at it with yakitori in mind, that's pretty enticing news.
MugiReally? A black IPA? The idea of a black IPA already feels like a lot to take in at once.
Hop BroExactly. It looks dark, but it's still an IPA inside. It has roasty character and bitterness living together, so you can enjoy the roastiness from the dark malt and the contours of the hops.
MugiRoasty character, so like coffee? But if you do that in beer, wouldn't it end up tasting burnt?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It is not burnt, but rather has notes from roasting. It also has a crisp drinking finish, so one of the charms of BLACK IPA is that it goes down smoothly without feeling too heavy.
MugiOhhh, then it sounds like it would go well with charcoal-grilled yakitori! The charcoal aroma and the beer's roasty character wouldn't clash; they'd probably get along really well, right?
Hop BroExactly. Since CHICKEN BOY puts yakitori first, it's strong because it pairs with both sauce and salt. The bitterness works with sweet sauce, and the roastiness complements salt-grilled items.
MugiWhat, that's incredibly versatile! In the Imaike Station area, it's usable for your first drink or the last stop of the night. That's almost too convenient.
Hop BroAnd this time it's a guest beer, so it won't always be the same. Since draft stock changes, the right move is to go early if you're interested.
MugiThen I need to go now! I don't want to miss the moment the guest tap arrives, and black IPA with yakitori sounds too good!
Hop BroIn the end, pairing yakitori with BLACK IPA at CHICKEN BOY should make for a very good night. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to detour there after work.
MugiYeah, my throat is already reacting just from imagining it! I want a drink right now!
BLACK IPA debuts as a guest tap
At CHICKEN BOY in Imaike, Chikusa Ward, Nagoya City, news has been shared that a BLACK IPA from @beer_marca has been tapped. The post adds, "Please give it a try," making this a guest-beer arrival worth noting at a shop where you can enjoy yakitori and craft beer together.
CHICKEN BOY is a beer pub centered on charcoal-grilled yakitori that can be paired with beer. Located in the easily accessible Imaike Station area, it is convenient whether you want to stop in for your first drink or swing by at the end of a meal. Beyond its regular food lineup, one of the charms of the place is following the changing rotation of guest beers like this one.
This BLACK IPA is generally known as a style that balances the roasty character of dark malt with the hop bitterness typical of an IPA. Even though it looks distinctly dark, it is not just heavy; its appeal lies in the combination of roast notes and a crisp drinking finish. It should pair well with the aroma of chicken grilled over charcoal, the sweetness of sauce, and the savoriness of salt-grilled dishes, so matching it with CHICKEN BOY's food should make its character stand out clearly.
The guest beer comes from MARCA BREWING. With a beer from a brewery known on the Kansai craft beer scene appearing at a yakitori spot in Imaike, Nagoya, it adds a slightly different choice to the usual meal lineup. Since draft availability can change, anyone interested should check it sooner rather than later.
