Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara Unveils May 31 Tap List, Including a New Himitsu Beer x Imuraya Release
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list for service on May 31. The lineup spans a wide range of beers, from a new collaboration by Himitsu Beer and Imuraya called "Himitsu no Melon" to collaborative brews from domestic breweries, plus white and ale styles.
Hop BroToday, Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has a hot tap list for May 31. The domestic collaborations are lined up all over the place, and it's the kind of list that makes your throat dry just looking at it.
MugiWhat! They're going that hard in Akihabara? A collaboration-heavy lineup like that already makes me want to do a tasting side by side!
Hop BroThe star this time is Himitsu no Melon from Himitsu Beer x Imuraya. They made the filling inside the Melon Ball from scratch, then developed a new beer base to match it. The idea is basically festival-level.
MugiWhat is that! Pairing beer with a Melon Ball? That's dessert-level pairing, my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroWhat's more, the flavor layers tropical, refreshing hop aroma over the gentle sweetness of a Melon Ball. In other words, the key is the sweet-aromatic contrast, and it's fun on its own, but adding a Melon Ball makes it transform.
MugiOhhh! That means it sounds sweet without being heavy. I kind of love the Melon Ball add-on trick being this much of a cheat!
Hop BroThere are others too, like 102×69 ~Roggen Roll~ from Yatsugatake Touchdown × Scissors Akihabara × Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke, and Typhina from Nara Brewery × VERTERE. Even the names are packed with information.
MugiWait, I'm getting drunk just from the names! It's amazing that something with so much information density still makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroFor white styles, there's Belgian White from Shiroyama Brewery, and for ales, something like Shinjiri Negi Golden Ale. I like that the lineup really covers a broad range of drinking styles. It's great whether you stop for one beer after work or spend time working through several.
MugiThis lineup at an Akihabara beer pub is unfair! There are too many candidate beers for tonight's drink, and I seriously don't know where to start!
May 31 Tap List
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has published its tap list for service on May 31. True to an Akihabara beer pub, the lineup is built mainly around collaboration beers from domestic breweries, with a range of brews offering different aromas and drinking profiles.
The highlight this time is the newly arrived "Himitsu no Melon" from Himitsu Beer. The post explains that Imuraya produced the filling inside the Melon Ball from scratch, and that Himitsu Beer developed a brand-new base beer to match it. It is introduced as a glass that layers tropical, refreshing hop aromatics with the gentle sweetness characteristic of a Melon Ball, along with a suggestion to add a separate Melon Ball and enjoy the pairing.
The tap list includes "102×69 ~Roggen Roll~" from Yatsugatake Touchdown × Scissors Akihabara × Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke, "MU" from Passific Brewing, "Shinjiri Negi Golden Ale" from Romantchikku Mura Brewery, "Tidal Cycles" from Nobody Brewing × Black Tide Brewing, and "Suika Ni~Ni~" from Agarihama Brewery × Sakeota × former BEER BRAIN. Also listed are "Nothing Special" from Nara Brewery × Matsumoto Brewery, "Typhina" from Nara Brewery × VERTERE, "Belgian White" from Shiroyama Brewery, "Album" from Swan Lake Beer × Yamorido × Heiwa Craft × Karuizawa Q, and "Nagi" from Swan Lake Beer × BET.
The shop is a beer pub in the Akihabara area of Taito 1-chome, Taito Ward, and it also supports takeaway with growlers and plastic cups. Because the taps change daily, a day like this, with so many collaboration labels, makes the appeal of side-by-side tasting especially clear. It is a lineup suited both to dropping in for a single drink after work and to lingering over several beers.
