Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae shared its "beers currently on tap" on Instagram. The lineup features six beers in total, led by West Coast Brewing's signature brew, "Starwatcher," along with a West Coast IPA, a Hazy DIPA, and even a Bitter.
Hop BroA beer pub in Ryogoku-Kuramae just posted its six beers currently on tap on Instagram. Led by West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher, it's a pretty great lineup.
MugiWow! Even with just six beers, it's getting that much attention? Small places can really show their taste, can't they?
Hop BroExactly. It's a residential-neighborhood beer pub with only six taps. The strength is how well it can rotate in beers with distinct personalities and present them cleanly.
MugiOhh! And that featured beer, Starwatcher - is it really that good? The name alone sounds cosmic and powerful!
Hop BroIt is. It's West Coast Brewing's very first flagship brew. A West Coast IPA made with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, it stands out for its citrus aroma, firm bitterness, and crisp finish.
MugiCitra, Mosaic, and Simcoe sound like magic spells. Hop-bro, can you make that a little easier to understand?
Hop BroSimply put, the aromatic hops are doing a great job. They give off that citrusy aroma and then finish clean, which is why IPA fans get hooked so easily.
MugiI see! And I like that it's not just IPA. Hazy Pale Ale and Bitter, too - it's nice to have such a wide entry point!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. From Revo Brewing's Oceania IPA, DD4D's My Secret Lemon Trees 3, Craft Bank's BLOSSOM SYNDICATE, Nomcraft's Ordinary Bitter, to BrewBeast's BOTTOMLESS, the style range is really broad.
MugiWait, they even have Bitter and Kolsch!? If I can start with something with gentler bitterness, maybe I can handle it too!
Hop BroExactly. And the post even includes announcements for May 23 and June events, with TAP TAKE OVER and WCB events coming up, so there's more to look forward to.
MugiOkay, decision made! If I'm looking for a satisfying beer in Ryogoku-Kuramae, I want to start with Starwatcher. Now I really want to go!
Hop BroAgreed. Let's toast with a citrus-aroma beer today. Starting with Starwatcher and then wandering over to a Bitter if the mood strikes is the right move.
