...04&Beer Refreshes Its Taps with Five Beers, Including a Blood Orange Saison
Niigata beer pub ...04&Beer has announced a five-beer tap lineup featuring Plank Brewery, Swan Lake Beer, Ushitora Brewery, Minoh Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer. New pours include a juicy blood orange saison, a classic IPA, and a Real Ale version of Shiga Kogen IPA.
...04&Beer, a beer pub in Nishibori-maedori, Niigata City, has announced a refreshed tap lineup featuring five beers from Japan and Germany.
The selection includes DunkerWeizenbock from Plank Brewery in Bavaria, Koshino-mai Koshihikari Beer from Swan Lake Beer in Niigata, Fresh-Squeezed Blood Orange Saison from Ushitora Brewery in Tochigi, Osaru IPA from Minoh Beer in Osaka, and Shiga Kogen IPA (Real Ale) from Shiga Kogen Beer in Nagano.
The standout new arrival is Ushitora Brewery’s Fresh-Squeezed Blood Orange Saison. According to the pub, the beer offers a juicy character reminiscent of freshly squeezed blood orange juice, balanced by a pleasant bitterness. It should appeal to drinkers who enjoy fruit-forward saisons with bright acidity and aroma.
Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA is also being served in its standard version rather than as a Real Ale. The pub describes it as a beer with a clearly noticeable bitterness, making it a natural choice for IPA fans.
Shiga Kogen IPA is available as a Real Ale, offering a different experience from the brewery’s standard version. Swan Lake Beer’s Koshino-mai Koshihikari Beer has quietly moved into its second keg as well.
The pub opens at 5 p.m. on Mondays, when much of the tap list is replaced. The current selection offers a broad tasting route, from a Bavarian wheat bock and Niigata rice beer to a citrusy saison and two distinct IPA expressions.
