KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand Announces 18 Taps as of 17:10; Hokkaido Craft Fes on June 13
KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer, directly connected to Kawasaki Station, has released its tap list as of 17:10 on May 27. In addition to Tokaido BEER's wide range of core offerings, labels from breweries around Japan are lined up, and the shop also announces that Hokkaido Craft Fes will be held on June 13.
Hop BroThey've got 18 taps up inside Kawasaki Azalea, and KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer is running a seriously aggressive lineup.
MugiEighteen kinds?! I'm going to be tipsy just deciding what to order!
Hop BroThey've got everything from IPA and Porter to Belgian Wheat and MILK SHAKE IPA, so the appeal is that you can try everything from classics to curveballs.
MugiMILK SHAKE IPA? Does that mean it tastes like a milkshake? The beer world really went full dessert with that name!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. They sometimes use lactose for sweetness and a richer texture, but the one getting attention here is Shiokaze Blue Lab's NORA NORA, a WILD KIWI SAISON.
MugiSounds like it would have that zippy kiwi tang and be bursting with fruitiness!
Hop BroExactly. Saison also brings yeast-driven aromas, and because it finishes a bit dry, the drinkability stays light, so it works even as a casual post-shopping pint.
MugiThat's perfect! And they've got Tokaido BEER's deep roster of house labels lined up too, so you could practically host a party just from the names!
Hop BroYou've got "1623," "Black Relaxation," and "FRO AGARI YELL," plus the Mugibar 2nd Anniversary kinako-colored fluffy hazy, and with all the guest beers, the tasting doesn't stop.
MugiAnd if they're even holding HOKKAIDO CRAFT FES on June 13, then I guess I have no choice but to swing by after work!
Hop BroIf it's directly connected to Kawasaki Station and they allow outside food, then it's way too easy to just drop in.
MugiYeah, just looking at the tap list made my throat perk up, and now all I want is to grab a pint!
Tap List as of 17:10
At KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer inside Kawasaki Azalea, 18 beers were listed as of 17:10 on May 27. The lineup spans IPA, Porter, Belgian Wheat, Fruit Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, Scotch Ale, MILK SHAKE IPA, Session IPA, American Amber, Hazy IPA, American Wheat, Kölsch, English IPA, and Weizen, offering everything from easy-drinking staples to more distinctive pours.
A standout is Shiokaze Blue Lab's "NORA NORA." It is introduced as a WILD KIWI SAISON, with a fruity kiwi character and a slightly dry finish. The selection is set up to work whether you're stopping by for just one drink while shopping or warming up before a night out.
Tokaido BEER's own labels are also well represented. "1623," "Black Relaxation," "FRO AGARI YELL," "Mugi no Deai," "Guava," "Tamakojaku," "Yoi no Iro," and "UTAMARO ALE" are on the list, and "Mugibar 2nd Anniversary Kinako-iro no Fuwafuwa Hazy" is being offered as a Tokaido BEER x Mugibar collaboration. Guest slots also include Novoru Brewing, HAKUBACRAFT, TKBREWING, Black Tide Brewing, OZONE BEER, KUNITACHI BREWERY, Yokohama Beer, and ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS, giving the stand a surprisingly broad range for a compact venue.
Hokkaido Craft Fes on June 13
The post also announces that "HOKKAIDO CRAFT FES" will be held from 13:00 to 22:00 on June 13. The venue is this shop, and it is being promoted as a joint event with four new breweries from Hokkaido and Tokaido BEER. Its location directly connected to Kawasaki Station, plus the fact that outside food is allowed, makes it especially easy to drop in after work or after shopping. Just looking over the tap list makes it the kind of place where you want to check both today's pint and the next event.
