KEG NAGOYA taps Hitachino White Ale, Shima Tea Saison, and BTB Kaijin
KEG NAGOYA, a Y.Market Brewing-run beer pub in Higashisakura, Nagoya, has updated its tap list with Hitachino White Ale, Shima Korigane Tea Saison, and BTB Kaijin Double IPA. The rotation highlights the venue’s 13 draft taps and its ever-changing draft lineup.
Hop BroKEG NAGOYA in Higashisakura just rolled out three fresh taps. Hitachino White Ale, Shima Karigane Tea Saison, and BTB Kaijin are all newly on.
MugiWhat! Those are wildly different vibes. White ale, tea saison, and a sea god? That tap list has a lot going on!
Hop BroThat range is the whole point. It's a 13-tap Y.Market pub, so the daily lineup is meant to keep things interesting.
MugiThirteen taps sounds like a certified confusion machine. Where is a beginner even supposed to start?
Hop BroIf you want an easy opener, go with Hitachino White Ale. It has soft wheat malt character, spice aroma, and a really smooth finish.
MugiOkay, but what is wheat malt? This is starting to sound like bakery prep, and now I'm hungry.
Hop BroIt means part of the grain bill uses wheat. That gives it a soft, fluffy mouthfeel and a gentler, paler impression.
MugiOhh, got it! Then what about Shima Karigane Tea Saison? Are tea and beer holding a meeting in the same glass?
Hop BroMore like perfect teamwork. A saison tends to show fermentation-driven aroma, and then the karigane tea from Watarai adds a clean tea-like nuance.
MugiYou just switched to science mode. So we're talking refreshing tea vibes, right?
Hop BroExactly. Then the closer is BTB Kaijin Double IPA. Very BLACK TIDE BREWING, with solid body and serious drinking weight.
MugiSo white ale first, tea saison next, sea god last... the drinking order is set. Add the house-made Chinese food and I'm running to KEG NAGOYA.
Hop BroThat combo is strong. Craft beer with Chinese food plus rotating taps is exactly why this place is so fun.
MugiI'm sold, tonight feels like a Nagoya pint kind of night. Those three beers are so different that now I want all of them.
