Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for April 23 service. The lineup includes a collaboration from Tora Hachi Beer and TOUCHDOWN×Taihu Brewing, along with VERTERE, Minoh Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION, and a total of 11 taps.
Hop BroMukojima's Evolve Beer&Kitchen put out an April 23 service update. This time the taps have been rearranged to 11, and there are a lot of highlights.
MugiWhoa, updated to 11 taps!? With that many, I won't know what to drink first!
Hop BroFirst up is the newly tapped Tora Hachi Beer. It's a collaboration with TOUCHDOWN×Taihu Brewing, and it's an oolong lager that pairs Kiyosato Lager with Taiwanese oolong tea.
MugiAn oolong lager? What is that! If you put tea in it, does beer turn into a tea party lager?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's like layering the aroma of oolong tea onto a crisp lager base. So the balance of aroma and drinkability is good, and it's easy to pair with food.
MugiAhh! That sounds like it'd go great with food! It also feels like it would pair perfectly with spring ingredients, making you want to drink it with bamboo shoots and spring rolls.
Hop BroThe tap lineup is broad too. It includes everything from pilsners like Bellevalia -ベルバリア- to Czech-style dark lagers like AGE AGE SAME AGE.
MugiCzech-style dark lager? That name alone makes it sound serious! It feels like a deep, dark grown-up flavor, and now I'm kind of nervous!
Hop BroFor hop lovers, もっとネルトラさん's TDH Hazy IPA and Raven's West Coast IPA are also tempting. TDH is short for triple dry hop, a method that really boosts the aroma.
MugiTriple the hop additions!? That's basically magic for layering on aroma! But hearing that only makes me want to drink it even more!
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. With mala keema, chicken-salt ramen, and even gateau chocolat, it's the kind of place where it's fun to think about the order of beers.
MugiMukojima is cheating with this one! It really feels like drinking, eating, and fully enjoying spring, and now I want to head straight to the base of the Skytree!
The beer pub Evolve Beer&Kitchen, located at the foot of Tokyo Skytree, announced its operating lineup for Thursday, April 23, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight. The highlight this time is the newly tapped Tora Hachi Beer. It is a collaboration with TOUCHDOWN×Taihu Brewing and is introduced as an oolong lager that pairs Taiwan oolong tea with the standard "Kiyosato Lager." It is a beer designed with balance in mind, making it easy to enjoy with food, both in aroma and in drinkability.
The tap list totals 11 beers. The lineup ranges widely from lagers to hop-forward IPAs, including the pilsner Bellevalia -ベルバリア- / VERTERE, the Czech-style dark lager AGE AGE SAME AGE / Repubrew×平成３年会, and the weizen バナナキック / NOMCRAFT BREWING. The white ale ゆずホ和イト / 箕面ビール is down to the last few pours, while もっとネルトラさん / NEKO BEER's TDH Hazy IPA and Raven / FLORA FERMENTATION's West Coast IPA are also being offered in limited quantities, so they may move quickly.
Other taps include イケおじペールエール / うしとらブルワリー, IPA -Golden Crown- ナイトロver. / 反射炉ビヤ, Blooming IPA / 箕面ビール, and the standard 黒ラベル / SAPPORO. Along with the breadth of beer styles, the “drink while you eat” appeal that Evolve Beer&Kitchen is known for is still very much alive.
The food menu includes bamboo shoot simmered in Tosani style, bamboo shoot tempura, yellowfin tuna bakkudan, mala keema with crispy green peppers, Genghis Khan spring rolls, yurin shrimp, and Minato-ken's chicken salt ramen, ranging from bar snacks to more substantial dishes. The keema curry comes in two varieties, “Shirasu and hiyashi spinach” and “Rouro keema,” and desserts include gateau chocolat, baked cheesecake, and royal milk tea gelato.
In Mukojima, where the atmosphere of the old downtown still remains, this is a place where you can calmly enjoy craft beer and food. Centered on the newly tapped oolong lager, it seems like a good spot to keep drinking while pairing it with spring ingredients.
