Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-mitsuke lists three beers for July 6
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-mitsuke, a basement beer pub in Tokyo's Akasaka area, posted its July 6 tap list with three beers from Himitsu Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION, and Chichibu Beer.
Hop BroThe tap list at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-mitsuke has a three-beer lineup today, and it is dangerously good. Himitsu Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION, and Chichibu Bakushu on one board after work is a trap.
MugiWait, three totally different vibes? That sounds like the kind of menu where "just one drink" immediately turns into a tasting flight!
Hop BroFirst up is Himitsu Beer from Mie with "Wanistachio." It is a Pistachio Weizen, so you get that soft wheat-beer feel with a nutty pistachio twist layered in.
MugiHold on, what is a Weizen? That already sounds like a magic spell, and "Wanistachio" sounds like a zoo resident.
Hop BroA Weizen is a wheat-based style that usually has a soft, fluffy mouthfeel and goes down easy. It is the kind of beer that makes a really smooth first glass.
MugiOhhh, a nutty white beer actually sounds classy and comforting at the same time. That is a strong opening move!
Hop BroThen you have FLORA FERMENTATION from Shiga with "Lupus -Strata-." It is a Pale Ale built around big Strata hop character, which is great if you want to chase aroma.
MugiHere we go again with the mysterious hop names! Strata sounds like a special attack, so what does it actually do in the glass?
Hop BroIt tends to bring citrus and tropical notes, sometimes with a dank edge, so you get layered hop aroma instead of one flat note. And then the closer is Chichibu Bakushu's "www Kuma (kari) - Barley Grass IPA -."
MugiBarley grass too? That is giving green juice IPA energy, and the name still looks like it escaped from the internet.
Hop BroThat weirdness is exactly the fun part. If you drink them in order, the flow from wheat beer to hop-forward ale to the barley-grass IPA actually makes perfect sense, and now I want all three.
MugiIn a quiet basement pub in Akasaka-mitsuke, that lineup is after-work perfection. I am absolutely walking in for one and somehow ending up with the full set.
July 6 tap list
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-mitsuke, a beer pub on the basement floor of the Gessekai Building in Akasaka, posted its tap list for Monday, July 6. The lineup includes three beers from three different prefectures, each with a distinct style and ingredient focus.
- ⑭ Himitsu Beer "Wani Stacio" / Pistachio Weizen (ABV 5.5, Mie)
- ⑯ FLORA FERMENTATION "Lupus -Strata-" / Pale Ale (ABV 5.5, Shiga)
- ⑮ Chichibu Beer "www Kuma (Kai) ~Barley Grass IPA~" / Barley Grass IPA (ABV 6, Saitama)
Himitsu Beer's Weizen stands out for its pistachio-themed name and wheat-beer profile. FLORA FERMENTATION's Pale Ale highlights Strata hops, making it a straightforward choice for hop character. Chichibu Beer's IPA uses barley grass, adding a twist to a style that already brings a firm drinking presence. With three different styles on tap, the list invites an easy comparison from a light wheat beer to a hop-forward pale ale and on to an IPA.
Set in the basement level of a building in central Akasaka, the venue suits both a quick stop after work and a more deliberate tasting session. The compact tap list makes it easy to focus on the differences in each beer rather than simply scanning a long menu.
