Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara adds four OUR BREWING beers, latest Tap List also updated
In a May 18 post, Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara announced four new OUR BREWING arrivals and its "26/5/18 Tap List." On Mondays it opens at 4 p.m., is closed on Tuesdays, and also offers growler and plastic cup takeout.
Hop BroToday, the star is the arrival of four OUR BREWING beers. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updated its latest Tap List on May 18, and for anyone chasing kegs, it’s a seriously exciting lineup.
MugiWhat, four first-time arrivals? And all of them landed in Akihabara at once? The shelf must be sparkling!
Hop BroFirst up is Second, the 2nd anniversary beer. It’s a hazy triple IPA, and the double mash plus four dry-hopping rounds make it a seriously layered aroma bomb.
MugiDouble mash? That sounds like a spell! Four dry-hopping rounds means they add hops four times?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it pulls out the sugars really well and then layers aroma on top afterward. That’s how you get that three-dimensional aroma. It’s the kind of beer where your nose cheers first.
MugiOh wow! So what kind of beer is Dino King? The name sounds tyrannosaur-ish, but does it roar when you drink it?
Hop BroDino King is a West Coast IPA, a more classic-style beer with a slightly amber body. It has a crisp finish, but it isn’t just light; what’s nice is the backbone behind it.
MugiWhen I hear amber, I already think that looks delicious. And the name Fukufukue-ru is so cute that I feel soothed before even drinking it!
Hop BroThat one’s based on an English-style pale ale made with persimmon and cardamom. The gentle fruitiness carries a clear spice edge, so it comes in softly and then deepens gradually.
MugiWhoa, just imagining it makes me want to drink it! And Daybreaker has Nelson Sauvin and white grape skins, so isn’t it basically a beer that makes you want to drink from the morning?
Hop BroExactly. The Tap List also includes 102×69 ~Roggen Roll~, several beers from Nobody Brewing, Teenage Brewing, and Holy MORI, so it’s basically set up for a keg-hopping tour in Akihabara. They’re closed on Tuesdays, but they open from 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and stay open until 11 p.m. on Fridays, so it’s easy to drop by.
MugiAnd they support growlers too! That’s the kind of place where you want one drink at the bar and another to take home on the way back. I want to head to Akihabara right now!
