The beer pub "Minnanokura Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae" in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, has announced its current draft lineup. The selection spans a wide range from IPA to bitter and Kölsch, featuring West Coast Brewing's "Starwatcher" and DD4D BREWING's "My Secret Lemon Trees 3".
Hop BroThe "Minnanokura Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae" in Ryogoku-Kuramae has refreshed 6 taps. From West Coast Brewing's "Starwatcher" to DD4D BREWING's "My Secret Lemon Trees 3," it's a pretty bold lineup.
MugiWait, even with just six beers, they all have that much character!? The range of the lineup is amazing. Just the names alone make me want to drink them!
Hop BroAnd the contents are great too. With two West Coast IPAs, having "Starwatcher" and "Oceania IPA" side by side for people who want solid bitterness is a dream setup for hop lovers.
MugiWest Coast IPA sounds kind of intense...! I get that hops are the star, but is it really just bitter?
Hop BroIt is more than just bitterness. West Coast IPA is known for bright, sharp aroma, with pine and citrus notes that pop cleanly. Just the name "Starwatcher" makes it the kind of beer you want to drink while looking up at the night sky.
MugiOhh, I see! So "My Secret Lemon Trees 3" sounds like the fruitiness is the main attraction? A lemon tree already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. It's a Citrus Hazy DIPA, so it's the kind of beer that lets you enjoy soft fruitiness. And "BLOSSOM SYNDICATE" is a Hazy Pale Ale, while if you want something lighter, you can go for a calm pint like "Ordinary Bitter" or "BOTTOMLESS."
MugiThey even have Bitter and Kölsch!? It's so great that they also have lighter-drinking options! That's perfect for people who like to linger, like you, Hop-nii!
Hop BroExactly. And this place welcomes families with children, which is great because it's trying to create a space that's comfortable for people who don't drink beer too. They also started pizza, so both drinkers and eaters can enjoy it together.
MugiNice! That makes it easy to invite friends, and it really feels like a place everyone can go together. Best of all, beer people and non-alcohol people won't end up fighting!
Hop BroAnd the schedule is hot too. On May 23 and June 27, they have event announcements, from KAIGAN BREWERY's TAP TAKEOVER to WCB's reservation-only night. This is the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back while thinking about your next drink.
MugiWhoa, hearing that makes it impossible not to! I'm too excited for the next drink now, and I want to head to Ryogoku-Kuramae right away!
