Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae opens six taps centered on Black Tide
Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae updated its tap list at opening today. In addition to five beers from Black Tide Brewing, DD4D Brewing's "My Secret Lemon Trees 3 / Citrus Hazy DIPA" has been added, creating a lineup where you can compare different styles.
Hop BroToday is about the six-tap update. At Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae, the lineup was completely overhauled with Black Tide Brewing at the center.
MugiWhoa! All at once? Black Tide centered sounds like the sea is already in the name!
Hop BroBlack Tide Brewing from Miyagi has five beers, and one from Ehime's DD4D Brewing has been added. It's the kind of lineup that's great for side-by-side tasting, where the differences in style are easy to see.
MugiBut when you say IPA and West Coast IPA, my brain turns into a beer-term maze.
Hop BroTo put it simply, IPA puts the hop aroma front and center, while West Coast IPA emphasizes crispness and bitterness even more. It has a clearly defined bitterness and aroma, and it's the kind that wakes you up when you drink it.
MugiGot it, sounds like it could cure sleepiness! Then that DD4D My Secret Lemon Trees 3 sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the featured pint. It's a Citrus Hazy DIPA with lemon and citrus aromas layered with a sweet coconut-like impression, and it's a really appealing one.
MugiCoconut!? Wait, so the beer even has a tropical-dessert vibe? There's too much aromatic information for my brain to keep up!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it has a soft mouthfeel from oats and wheat, and even at 8.0% ABV it's supposed to go down smoothly. Rich yet easy-drinking is pretty dangerous, but in a good way.
MugiDangerous but good, perfect! I want to try Black Tide's Fruited Saison and Milky Hazy IPA too, and now I want to drink a little of everything!
Hop BroIt also sounds great to drink with a meal in Ryogoku/Kuramae, and I'm curious about the upcoming tap takeovers too. If we go with the intention of just one drink tonight, I can already picture both of us ending up with glasses lined up in front of us.
MugiThat will absolutely happen! Then tonight is decided by my mood for a drink, and I'm starting with the lemon tree one!
