Want a Beer Taps Six Beers on 4/25, Including a 5th Anniversary Hazy IPA
The beer pub Want a Beer in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, will be open on April 25 from 12:00 to 23:00 (last order 22:00) and has released a six-tap lineup, including a collaboration Hazy IPA purchased for its 5th anniversary. Offered only for dine-in, the lineup is designed to be enjoyed with spring food.
Hop BroUtsunomiya's Want a Beer has unveiled its six taps for 4/25. They're open from 12:00 to 23:00, and it's dine-in only, so today is a day to settle in and drink at the pub.
MugiWhat, six beers on tap!? Just looking at that list would make me dizzy with happiness before I even choose!
Hop BroThe star is Black Tide Brewing × Teenage Brewing's Heaven's Age. It's a Milky Hazy IPA made with milk and oat protein, and since it's for the anniversary they really splurged on it.
MugiMilk in it!? With a milky mouthfeel, won't it end up tasting like cream puffs even though it's beer?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Hazy IPA is the kind with haze that lets you enjoy the aroma, and this one is tropical and fruity but still has solid bitterness, so it feels like an aroma-first IPA.
MugiWhat is that, I want to compare them! And if there's even MASTER HEIR with its peach and berry character, then everything sounds appealing!
Hop BroMASTER HEIR is Barbaric WORKS's American Double IPA, and its Mosaic-hop aroma and full-bodied drinkability are right at the center of it.
MugiThen Flesh!!! should be the refreshing one with the tartness of five citrus fruits, right? Just the name makes it feel like juice is about to splash everywhere!
Hop BroExactly. SPECIALS is a Belgian White, and Moonwalk is a West Coast Pilsner, so the spread between citrus and crisp bitterness is a lot of fun.
MugiAnd the spring food, like the sakura shrimp zeppoline and firefly squid fritters, sounds amazing! This is the kind of place where both beer and food keep going nonstop!
Hop BroIt's a very all-out anniversary lineup in Want a Beer's style, isn't it? The range of beers and food is broad, so it's the kind of day that makes you want to take it slow and work through it.
MugiYeah, I want to go all in from the first glass! Since we're at it, now I feel like drinking too!
