Craft Beer Market Toranomon Adds Guest Taps from FUKUOKA CRAFT and B.M.B Brewery
An Instagram post from Craft Beer Market Toranomon introduced two guest beers: FUKUOKA CRAFT’s Ichiban Shiroi Neko Hazy IPA and B.M.B Brewery’s Amethyst Eye smoothie sour. The lineup pairs a hazy, fruity IPA with a grape-forward sweet-and-sour beer.
Hop BroCraft Beer Market Toranomon just tapped two guest kegs that make a great contrast. One is from FUKUOKA CRAFT, and the other is from B.M.B Brewery.
MugiWait, great contrast sounds weirdly dramatic! What are the two beers?
Hop BroFirst up is FUKUOKA CRAFT's Ichiban Shiroi Neko Hazy IPA. It's a collab with BEERKICHI and Yuyaboys, super cloudy and seriously juicy.
MugiWhoa, but Hazy IPA means what in normal-person language? It sounds like a weather forecast!
Hop BroUsually it means a fruity, plush mouthfeel with big hop aroma and soft haze. It can feel juice-like, but it's still absolutely beer.
MugiOkay, so it looks fluffy and drinks like juicy overload? That cat sounds dangerous!
Hop BroThen there's B.M.B Brewery's Amethyst Eye, a Kyoho grape sour with smoothie-like weight, dense sweetness, and bright acidity behind it.
MugiA sour that's sweeter first? And what does high puree ratio even mean? Did we just enter science class?
Hop BroIt means there's a lot of real fruit body in there, so you get a thick texture instead of a thin sip. I totally see why they pair it with spicy food.
MugiThat sounds dangerous in the best way. At Craft Beer Market Toranomon I'd honestly freeze trying to choose cat haze or grape first!
Hop BroFreezing is the correct response. The fun of a side-by-side really shows with these two, and the lineup still feels easy for newer drinkers.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want both now, plus something spicy, and then I'm chasing the cat and the grape all night!
Guest Beer Update
Craft Beer Market Toranomon highlighted two guest beers in its latest Instagram post. The first is FUKUOKA CRAFT’s Ichiban Shiroi Neko Hazy IPA. The post describes it as a collaboration with Fukuoka beer favorites BEERKICHI and Yuyaboys, noting its heavy haze and a fruity, juicy profile. It is the kind of Hazy IPA that should appeal to drinkers looking for a soft, saturated hop character.
The second beer is B.M.B Brewery’s Amethyst Eye [Smoothie Sour]. According to the post, it brings dense Muscat-style grape sweetness and bright acidity, with sweetness taking the lead over tartness. The puree content is said to be high, giving it a thick, almost silky texture. The brewery also suggests it pairs well with spicy food.
