T.Y.Harbor Brewery Pale Ale on the May 12 Tap List at CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch
CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch has released its tap list for May 12. The lineup spans classic lagers, IPAs, wheat beers, stouts, and sour styles, offering a tasting comparison featuring labels such as T.Y.Harbor Brewery and CRAFTROCK BREWING.
Hop BroThe tap list at the Tokyo Torch shop in Otemachi is pretty bold on May 12. It centers on T.Y.Harbor Brewery's pale ale, then lines up IPAs, white beers, stouts, and sours, so the tasting comparison is really well designed.
MugiWhat! That much variety? When one place has everything from classic lagers to sour beers, it actually makes it harder to decide what to order!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. For example, the hop-forward section includes CRAFTROCK BREWING's Ocean Avenue and Joy Hopposits DIPA, BREWDOG's HAZY JANE, and even Revision DIPA, so it's easy to compare different aromatic directions.
MugiWhat is that! Hop-forward doesn't just mean bitter, right? The names already sound like spells!
Hop BroIt's not just bitterness. You get citrus notes, tropical character, and all kinds of flashy aromas. In particular, Session IPA and DIPA make the difference between drinkability and intensity really obvious, so lining them up in the same shop is a useful lesson.
MugiOhhh! If there are white beer styles too, I could start with something gentler. Vector Brewing's Shironeko Punch or T.Y.Harbor Brewery's Wheat Ale already sound light and fluffy from the name alone!
Hop BroExactly. And with Gotemba Kogen Beer's Weizenbock in the mix, you can also enjoy malt sweetness and yeast-derived aromas. In other words, it really is a lineup that supports a proper wheat-beer comparison.
MugiWait, but the dark ones are tempting too! The roasty side is way too tempting, but wouldn't stouts feel heavy?
Hop BroThat's where The Old Gray Brewery's Orooro Black and Oriental Brewing's Kaga Bocha Stout come in. And with KANKIKU BREWERY's sakekasu smoothie and U.B.P Brewery's imperial stout as well, the range for acidity and roastiness is pretty wide.
MugiWow, being able to build a lineup from the first glass to the last sounds so fun! And if they have staples like Asahi Super Dry and Kirin Heartland, it feels easy to stop by with confidence!
Hop BroIt's nice that you can also choose while talking with the staff on the first floor of TOKYO TORCH Tokiwabashi Tower in Otemachi, Tokyo. Today, I really want to agonize over which glass to start with while snacking on gyoza or spicy dishes.
MugiYeah, now I totally want to drink! It's perfect for a stop on the way home from work, and I'd start with T.Y.Harbor Brewery's pale ale!
