Spring Neko Punch and Yamaguchi Jibeer IPA tapped at Craft Beer Market Kanda
In an Instagram post from Craft Beer Market Kanda, VECTOR BREWING's "Spring Neko Punch" and Yamaguchi Jibeer "IPA" were announced as new taps. True to a Kanda beer pub, the post highlights a lineup of around 30 draft beers and a selection that pairs well with them.
Hop BroHaving Spring Neko Punch and Yamaguchi Jibeer IPA tapped at the same time in Kanda is pretty exciting news. It really has the casual feel and tasting-comparison appeal that fits Craft Beer Market Kanda.
MugiWhat? So it's a two-beer launch? And Spring Neko Punch sounds cute just from the name, so it already gets me pumped before even drinking it!
Hop BroExactly, it's Vector Brewing's spring-limited Kölsch. Kölsch is light and clean, with hop aroma but without being heavy-handed, so it's the kind of beer you can drink smoothly.
MugiWhat's a Kölsch? Is it like a crisp beer cousin? The name sounds German, but then Spring Neko Punch sounds so laid-back all of a sudden, which is funny!
Hop BroBasically, you can think of it as a lager-like ale with an elegant drinking profile. Even with a fresh hop aroma, it doesn't feel heavy, so it's good as a first beer too.
MugiI see! Then lining it up with Yamaguchi Jibeer's classic IPA must make the vibe totally different! That's the one for people who love bitterness!
Hop BroThat's exactly the highlight. The IPA is a beer where you can really enjoy hop aroma and bitterness. Spring Neko Punch is brisk, while the IPA has a sharp outline; even though they're both new taps, it's great that their personalities are so opposite.
MugiCraft Beer Market Kanda has, like, around 30 draft beers on tap, right? With that many, just choosing would be so happy that I'd probably end up unable to decide!
Hop BroThat's right, and because you can consult the staff while choosing, it's reassuring even for beginners. Whether you want just one after work or several for a tasting session, that's one of its strengths.
MugiAnd the fact that you can pair it with lamb chops is unfair! It's the ultimate beer-and-meat combo, turning Kanda's office district into a reward zone all of a sudden!
Hop BroExactly. Feel the season with the limited Spring Neko Punch, and enjoy the core hop character with the IPA. Today was definitely the kind of article that makes you want to have a drink in Kanda.
MugiYeah, just reading it makes my throat feel dry! It made me want to toast right now, and I'd definitely start with Spring Neko Punch!
In an Instagram post from Craft Beer Market Kanda, VECTOR BREWING's "Spring Neko Punch" and Yamaguchi Jibeer "IPA" were introduced as today's new taps. True to the shop, where craft beer can be enjoyed casually in the Kanda Station area, the appeal this time is being able to enjoy a seasonal limited beer and a classic IPA side by side.
Craft Beer Market Kanda bills itself on its official website as a beer pub serving "craft beer and lamb chops." The shop stocks around 30 kinds of craft beer on tap, and a key feature is that staff can help you choose, making it easy to try even unfamiliar labels. It is a place that works well whether you want a single drink after work or a fuller pairing with food.
New taps this time

A spring limited edition in Vector Brewing's "Neko Punch" series. According to official information, it is a Kölsch-style beer with fresh hop aroma and a crisp drinking character.
- Yamaguchi Jibeer IPA
A newly tapped IPA-style beer. It is an easy choice when you want to enjoy hop aroma and bitterness, and it looks set to be a distinctive presence even within Kanda's broad lineup.
