The beer pub BEER MARROW in Kichijoji, Tokyo announced an eight-tap lineup, including two new taps, in an update on May 29. A new regular Hazy IPA from BLACK TIDE BREWING and a light lager from WEST COAST BREWING have been added, and the bar continues to offer service with records playing in the background.
Hop BroBEER MARROW in Kichijoji is doing something interesting again. This time it's an eight-tap lineup, and they even added new taps from BLACK TIDE BREWING and WCB.
MugiWhoa! Eight taps means my brain is already full of beer before I even choose. And two new taps right off the bat? Isn't that ridiculously luxurious!?
Hop BroThe first one to watch is BLACK TIDE BREWING's Hazy Wave. It's a Hazy IPA with 7.0% ABV. It uses Citra as the main hop, and layers bright citrus with dank aromas.
MugiDank? Wait, what even is that! It suddenly feels like a corner of a room in here. Is dank aroma really a beer term!?
Hop BroExactly. Here, dank doesn't mean anything like damp weed; it's more like a deep, lush hop character. And Hazy Wave adds bright citrus on top of that, so it makes you want to keep drinking.
MugiOhhh! Then the WCB one must be more easygoing than punchy, right? I'm curious just from the name, WCB Light!
Hop BroThat's right. It's WEST COAST BREWING's Extra Dry American Lager, and it's 4.0% ABV. It has a cracker-and-cereal-like lightness, plus subtle citrus and honey notes, so it's really crisp.
MugiWait, it somehow feels like it has honey in it but is still light!? That's cheating, isn't it? And a crisp finish sounds perfect for not getting tired of drinking!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this lineup has a huge range, with beers like DD4D's Mag Mag and UCHU BREWING's Foggy Dawn. From Sour IPA to Matcha Milkshake Ale, the tap list alone is enough to have a whole conversation about.
MugiThat sounds way too fun! And they even do record nights on Tuesdays and Fridays, right? If music is playing while you're drinking beer, that's the kind of place you end up never wanting to leave.
Hop BroExactly. In Kichijoji, drinking while following the rotating taps and using music as the side dish is pretty much the best, isn't it? You go in saying you're having just one drink, and before you know it you're thinking about a second.
MugiYeah, exactly that! I want to start with Hazy Wave and finish with WCB Light. Now I really want to raise a glass in Kichijoji right away!
