Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap story in Jimbocho I need to tell you about: California Roll is the kind of beer name that makes you thirsty on sight.
MugiWait, a sushi-roll name for a beer? What is this, and where do I get it?
Hop BroIt just went on at Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho, and it’s a collab between Long Beach Beer Lab and CRAFTROCK BREWING.
MugiWhoa! But West Coast Rice Pilsner sounds like three beer styles wearing one trench coat!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a pilsner with bright hop character, brewed with sake rice so it lands light and crisp on the palate.
MugiHold on, what does crisp body even mean? Does this beer have abs?
Hop BroNo six-pack, but body means mouthfeel. It stays lean, goes down clean, and leaves a snappy finish.
MugiWhat! And the aroma is watermelon candy and peach? That sounds like summer vacation in a glass!
Hop BroThen raspberry and fresh pine layer in, so that fruity refreshment still finishes like proper beer instead of juice.
MugiI’m all in now. If it’s great with the house roast chicken pairing, I’m not stopping at one.
Hop BroSame here. It even works with spicy okra arrabbiata, and with a two-minute walk from A1 plus a 30-beer course, the easy all-around appeal is strong.
MugiThat settles it, I want my first pint in Jimbocho tonight! Hop bro, tell me we’re going right now!
At Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho, the collaboration beer "California Roll" from Long Beach Beer Lab x CRAFTROCK Brewing has been tapped. The beer is a West Coast rice pilsner, made with sake rice for a lighter, crisper body that fits especially well on a hot day.
The aroma is described as distinctive and fruit-forward, with notes reminiscent of watermelon candy, raspberry, and peach. Those layers are joined by fresh pine and bright fruit character, leading into a refreshing, sharply defined finish. It is the kind of beer that works well as a first pour.
The restaurant is known as one of the more stylish locations in the Craft Beer Market group. It offers a broad selection of Japanese and imported craft beers, alongside house-roasted roast chicken and casual bistro dishes. The post also suggests pairings with the signature roast chicken and a slightly spicy okra arrabbiata.
Located about two minutes on foot from Jimbocho Station, the pub also offers all-you-can-drink courses featuring 30 beers. That makes it a flexible stop for a single pint, a meal, or a longer craft beer session.
