Hop BroToday’s topic is AND BEER Koenji. On July 12, the taproom is featuring four beers: PICO PICO, SAL SAL, Vale, and Kiri no Machi ~Ki~.
MugiWait, four beers at once? I’m already interested, and PICO PICO sounds like an arcade machine!
Hop BroPICO PICO is a low-ABV fruit lager at 3.9% ABV, inspired by a michelada, so it’s perfect for an easy first pour.
MugiWhat even is that? What is michelada? That sounds less like beer and more like a magic spell!
Hop BroVery much a drink. It has a Mexican beer cocktail kind of vibe, usually built around citrusy and savory-spiced impressions.
MugiOkay, then SAL SAL too! But fruit saison sounds so stylish my brain just slipped on a lime peel.
Hop BroA saison tends to show expressive yeast character, and SAL SAL uses lime, so you get bright fruit with plenty of personality.
MugiAnd then Vale walks in with best bitter energy. Calm, dependable, probably amazing next to food!
Hop BroExactly. Vale has gentle bitterness for pairing, while Kiri no Machi ~Ki~ is a Piney Hazy IPA at 6.0%, made for slowly chasing hop aroma.
MugiFrom light and fruity to bitter and hoppy, that Koenji taproom lineup is unfair. My whole drinking plan is already forming!
Hop BroAnd in that counter-style brewpub, I’d want to line them up side by side. It’s the perfect setup for taking your time with house-brewed character.
MugiThat settles it. The first glass dilemma is part of the fun now, and I absolutely want us to go toast there right away!
On July 12, And Beer’s Koenji taproom highlighted four house beers. The lineup includes `PICO PICO`, a low-ABV lager inspired by the Mexican beer cocktail michelada; `SAL SAL`, a fruit saison with lime; `Vale`, a classic Best Bitter; and `霧のまち～樹～`, a hop-forward Piney Hazy IPA.
Here is the lineup in a simple view:
- `PICO PICO` / Fruit Lager / 3.9% ABV
- `SAL SAL` / Fruit Saison / 5.0% ABV
