Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki updates its tap list on August 19, adding Hoppukotan’s Inversion
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki in Yokohama shared its August 19 tap list, featuring six beers from Garden Path Fermentation, Nara Brewing, and Hoppukotan Brewing. The newest pour is Hoppukotan’s Inversion.
Hop BroToday's headline is Kokoro no Tsuki's new taps. Craft beer kitchen 心の月 in Yokohama's Miyagawacho posted its August 19 lineup, and the new keg is 忽布古丹醸造's Inversion.
MugiWait, Chinese food and craft beer in one place? My stomach and my thirst just high-fived.
Hop BroExactly, it's a second-floor beer pub in Miyagawacho, and it opens from 3 p.m., which is already a strong move. This round has six taps, including Garden Path Fermentation and Nara Brewing.
MugiWhoa, a six-tap lineup means I'm already emotionally unprepared. So what kind of beer is this new Inversion?
Hop BroHere's the fun part: it's a Kolsch-inspired pour from 忽布古丹醸造, brewed with Kamifurano Cascade and German Sapphire hops. The model is a light, top-fermented beer from the Cologne tradition.
MugiHold on, what is top fermentation? And Kolsch sounds less like beer and more like a side quest.
Hop BroIn normal-person terms, it's clean but aromatic. You get soft malt, then lemon, floral notes, and even apple and pear-like character, but the finish stays crisp and easy.
MugiOkay, now I'm thirsty. That's basically a glass of fruit-and-flowers. And the rest of the list is stacked too: Garden Path's The Twisted Branch Out and Ron's not Bitter, plus Nara Brewing's Double Swisher!
Hop BroAnd 忽布古丹 shows up with three beers on tap: Pollux, 紅きは酒の咎, and Inversion. Pair that with steamed chicken in green Sichuan pepper sauce or mapo tofu, and I'm not leaving the table.
MugiThat sounds dangerous in the best way. We need a pre-holiday beer run before the break from August 24 to 26. Give me Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, drool-worthy wontons, and a pint of Inversion.
