Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, April 17 Tap List Features Multiple Yatsugatake Touchdown Beers and 4 New Arrivals
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its April 17 tap list. In addition to four new arrivals from HIMITSU BEER, the lineup includes 15 draft taps centered on Yatsugatake Touchdown, with a wide range that spans collaboration beers and even a Japanese citrus lager.
Hop BroToday's April 17 tap list is hot. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released it, and while Yatsugatake Touchdown is the centerpiece, a bunch of new arrivals from HIMITSU BEER have also come in.
MugiWhat! Four new arrivals already make it a packed lineup? Even the name HIMITSU BEER makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. The four are `Racco IPA`, `Himitsu no・・・`, `Ise-Shima Tacchu`, and `Mangorilla White`. They range from a session IPA to a dark sour, a salty dark chocolate-style beer, and a mango-heavy wheat ale, so the flavor directions are clearly different.
MugiWhoa, a dark sour and salty beer? That's a lot of information! What on earth is happening in the beverage world to make salty chocolate a thing?!
Hop BroBasically, it's a distinctive beer that plays with acidity and saltiness. Instead of relying only on sweetness or bitterness, adding sourness and salinity sharpens the flavor profile and makes the first sip feel completely different.
MugiOh, I see! Then I want to see the draft side too. It said 15-tap lineup, but if that many are on offer, you'll be happily overwhelmed before you even choose!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is definitely Yatsugatake Touchdown. From `Pilsner`, `Dunkel`, `Kiyosato Lager`, `Rock Weizen`, `Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver.2`, `Weizenbock`, `Yamanashi Peach Weizen`, `Rock Helles`, to `Fresh Yuzu Lager`, the lager and weizen selection is especially strong.
MugiWow, it's a lager and weizen festival! But Weizenbock sounds powerful just from the name alone. What happens when you drink it?
Hop BroBock is generally associated with rich, German-style beer, and when you combine that with the aroma and softness of a weizen, it gains more depth. On top of that, `Yamanashi Peach Weizen` and `Fresh Yuzu Lager` bring in fruit character too.
MugiWait, even fruit? And the collaborations are strong too? That's way too much good stuff. I want to line everything up on the table and compare them like a field trip!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke x Scissors Akihabara / 102×69~Roggen Roll~`, `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Kyoto Brewing / Wampaku Kozou`, plus `RePubrew / AGE AGE SAME AGE` and `Jungle Juice / Feel Your Monster` are all there, so there are plenty of playful beers too.
MugiNice! And being able to grab a drink after work in Akihabara is perfect. If they offer growler takeout too, I can go home feeling like I did something good today!
Hop BroExactly. They're open until 10 p.m., so it's perfect for a day when the weather is starting to feel like spring. Whether you go light with a lager or push harder with a hoppy session IPA, your throat is already making the choice for you.
MugiYeah, I can't take it anymore, I want to drink tonight! Wouldn't it be great to start with Kiyosato Lager, move on to Peach Weizen, and then finish with Racco IPA?
Hop BroThat's a great flow. Then let's just make the last call a toast in Akihabara. From the clear flavors of Yatsugatake to HIMITSU BEER's distinctive brews, today's lineup makes you want to bar-hop.

It also includes collaborations such as `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke x Scissors Akihabara / 102×69~Roggen Roll~` and `Yatsugatake Touchdown x Kyoto Brewing / Wampaku Kozou`, so the lineup offers not only staples but also playful options.
