Hop BroAkihabara’s tap update is hot. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara released its May 25 lineup, and it’s also saying it’ll be closed on Wednesday the 27th and back to regular hours from Thursday the 28th.
MugiWhoa! So it’s a big drop before the closure? And with that much turnover in Akihabara, isn’t it way too hectic for drinkers!
Hop BroExactly, the highlight is the four new Põhjala beers. More Than Amber, Rudolf, Tallinn At Dawn, and Moonlit Nights all landed, bringing in a set of heavy barrel-aged beers.
MugiBarrel-aged? What is that, does it taste like the barrel? Now I can’t even tell whether this is beer or wine anymore!
Hop BroBasically, it’s beer that’s aged in barrels to add aroma and body. For example, an imperial porter aged in cognac barrels or a rye wine aged in rye whiskey barrels picks up the barrel’s character.
MugiOhh! It feels like an adult tasting comparison. A Baltic porter aged in Madeira wine barrels sounds like the kind of name that makes me want snacks!
Hop BroAnd the taps are full of collaborations too. `102×69 ~Roggen Roll~`, `Tidal Cycles`, `Holy MORI`, and `Torahachi Beer` are all there, so the limited-edition feel is really strong.
MugiWait, that many! The kind of list where the names alone make you hesitate. And they even have Shiga Kogen Beer’s `SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.` too, so they’re really going for it.
Hop BroThe nice thing is that there are both IPAs and white ales, so it’s easy to build a first round. You can enjoy hops with `Manzaki IPA` and then bridge into something light with `Belgian White`.
MugiI see, having everything from strong barrel-aged beers to a light, refreshing pour is pretty considerate. And if they’re open until 10 p.m. and offer takeout, it makes me want to stop by while I’m in Akihabara.
Hop BroOn days like this, the drinking flow is already set. I’d go after the Põhjala first, and you’d start with an IPA?
MugiI’ll start with the white, then move on to the barrel-aged beers! I want to go right now, so let’s make plans for Thursday the 28th when they’re back to normal hours!
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara released its tap list for May 25. In the post, it also announced "Closed on Wed. 27" and said it will return to regular hours from Thu. 28. True to an Akihabara beer pub, it stayed open until 10 p.m. that day while managing the demands of running solo. It also offers takeout in growlers and plastic cups.
The highlight this time is the four new Põhjala beers. `More Than Amber`, `Rudolf`, `Tallinn At Dawn`, and `Moonlit Nights` have arrived, creating a heavyweight barrel-aged tasting lineup: an imperial porter aged in cognac barrels, a rye wine aged in rye whiskey barrels, a Baltic porter aged in Madeira wine barrels, and an American strong ale aged in oak barrels with salted caramel.
The tap list also included `102×69 ~Roggen Roll~` (Yatsugatake Touchdown × Scissors Akihabara × Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke), `The Slowcore` (Nobody Brewing), `Tidal Cycles` (Nobody Brewing × Black Tide Brewing), `Manzaki IPA` and `Belgian White` (Shiroyama Brewery), `SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.` (Shiga Kogen Beer), `Torahachi Beer` (Yatsugatake Touchdown × Taihu Craft Brewing), and `Holy MORI` (Seoul Brewing × Teenage Brewing). From collaboration beers to classic popular IPAs and white ales, it is a lineup that makes it easy to start drinking and keep going in Akihabara.
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara is an easy choice for people who want to keep up with new arrivals and limited releases across domestic and imported taps. The fact that it lines up strong barrel-aged beers with hop-forward IPAs and a light white beer on the same day is another appeal that feels especially true to this shop.
