Nishijin Beer’s “Monzetsu Weizen” Tapped at Shubou CRAFTMAN
At Shubou CRAFTMAN in Kyoto’s Nakagyo Ward, Nishijin Beer’s irregularly brewed beer “Monzetsu Weizen” has been tapped. The Kyoto machiya-style beer pub, which always keeps 40 kinds of craft beer on hand, is introducing it as a limited offering.
Hop BroMugi-chan, there was a limited tap opening from Nishijin Beer at Shubou CRAFTMAN in Kyoto. This time, it’s the irregularly brewed "Monzetsu Weizen" that went on tap.
MugiWhoa! Monzetsu Weizen sounds intense already. Do you practically end up in agony when you drink it?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Weizen is a wheat-based white beer style. It usually has a soft mouthfeel and goes down very easily.
MugiI see! But if it’s an irregular brew, is it one of those beers you have to order immediately when you spot it before it disappears?
Hop BroExactly. And CRAFTMAN is a place that keeps 40 kinds at all times, so even as a guest keg, it still stands out.
MugiThat sounds fun! Hunting for a limited beer in a machiya beer pub with a very Kyoto atmosphere feels like an event already!
Hop BroWhat’s more, they also focus on dishes made with local ingredients, so you can enjoy how the beer pairs with food, not just the beer itself. The daily-changing menu is a nice touch too.
MugiWait, they even have seafood?! If they have private rooms and tatami rooms, it’s great for both solo drinking and group meals!
Hop BroExactly. It’s also within the Karasuma Oike Station area, so it’s easy to get to, and the appeal is being able to drink leisurely in a Kyoto machiya on Kannon-cho.
MugiThen I’ll be in charge of securing the Monzetsu Weizen first and looking for an extra pint from the 40 varieties!
Hop BroNice, and I want to enjoy the limited offering alongside the food. A beer like this makes me want to head to Kyoto right away.
MugiYeah, just hearing about it makes my throat thirsty! I’m already in the mood to toast with Weizen tonight!
