Esperanza in Yakuin, Fukuoka, Offers a Taco Limited Set and 8 Taps Starting May 1
The beer pub "esperanza エスペランサ" in Yakuin, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, is offering a limited set for tachinomists from May 1 to May 17. Along with a combo of two tacos and a drink, the offering includes eight kinds of draft beer and house-made tacos.
Hop BroThis esperanza limited set in Fukuoka's Yakuin runs from May 1 to May 17 as a tachinomist-focused special. Two tacos and a drink for 1,500 yen is pretty easy to work into a quick standing-bar stop, right?
MugiWait, two tacos for 1,500 yen!? And they have a set like that at a beer pub? That sounds insanely casual.
Hop BroAnd the taps are strong too, with all 8 taps on offer. From FARMENTRY's "YAYOI No3." and its Juicy IPA to pilsners, saisons, and cider, it's a lineup that makes tasting side by side a lot of fun.
MugiJuicy IPA? What is that! Does Juicy IPA mean it's sweet like juice? Just the name sounds a little dangerous.
Hop BroDangerous in the sense that the hop-driven fruitiness comes forward. It's an IPA that emphasizes mango- or citrus-like aromas rather than a huge blast of bitterness, so even within IPA the impression is quite different.
MugiOhhh! So Nara Brewing's "Spiral" and its American Belgo Ale sound difficult just from the name, but also interesting.
Hop BroExactly. "Belgo" basically means the character of Belgian yeast really comes through. And they also have Yorocco Beer's "Tobiuo Saison," "The Golden Time" Italian pilsner, and BREWDOG's DOUBLE HAZY JANE, so the lineup is nicely covered from light and crisp to rich and full-bodied.
MugiWow, it's a paradise for tasting flights. And they even have a Cold IPA collab called "Nyoru Koyou" - that name is kind of intense, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd the food is a classic carnitas taco. Pork cooked slowly in lard, then topped with salsa verde and jalapeños, so it should pair well whether you go with a hop-forward IPA or a refreshing saison.
MugiSo basically, you can find your perfect first drink in Yakuin. It's open from 3 p.m. to midnight, and as long as it's not May 7 or May 13, I want to go right now!
