MugiWhat! A hanami closure? A beer pub prioritizing spring!? That's kind of admirable!
Hop BroThis week's highlight is Kyoto Bighand Bros.' real ale, "Corkite." It's an Irish Stout, and even though it's dark, it goes down really smoothly.
MugiIrish Stout means black beer? Whoa, the technical jargon pressure just hit me all at once!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a dark beer with the toasty aroma of roasted malt. And since Corkite is real ale, you can enjoy the changes in aroma and mouthfeel without being pushed around by strong carbonation.
MugiSo basically it's not trying to win with fizz, but with aroma! Then this is one for slowly exploring the roasty character!
Hop BroExactly. One of CIDER SHACK's strengths is that cider and beer sit naturally together, and it's nice to have a beer like this alongside the regular taps. Following last week's Matsumoto Brewery TTO, the baton is passing to this week's guest real ale.
MugiWait, the tap list is that free-form!? And cider and beer side by side means a full-on comparison rabbit hole!
Hop BroHours are 17:00 to 24:00 Monday through Friday, and 14:00 to 24:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. So if you go in the first half of the weekend, you'd want to finish Corkite by Saturday.
MugiAlright, decided. I'm going on Saturday! This is basically a grown-up outing to go see the character of a cask. Now I really want a drink!
The beer pub CIDER SHACK in Higashi, Shibuya Ward, announced that it will be temporarily closed on Sunday, March 29 for hanami. If you're planning to stop by on the weekend, it's best to check the hours a day earlier.
This week's highlight is Kyoto Bighand Bros.' real ale, "Corkite". The style is Irish Stout, and the post says it should be finished by Saturday. With Sunday closure in mind, this is one to enjoy properly in the first half of the weekend. Last week featured a Matsumoto Brewery TTO, and this week the baton passes to a guest real ale.
CIDER SHACK is known for a tap list where cider and beer sit naturally side by side. By offering real ale as well as keg beer with carbonation, the same pint reveals different expressions of temperature and aroma. An Irish stout like Corkite is the kind of beer you want to drink while following its roasty character and mouthfeel changes, and it seems likely to pair well with the atmosphere of this bar.
Hours are Mon-Fri 17:00-24:00, Sat/Sun/Holidays 14:00-24:00. However, it will be temporarily closed on Sunday, March 29. For anyone who wants to calmly appreciate the character of a cask in a quiet side street between Shibuya and Omotesando, this is a place worth remembering.
