04&Beer taps "Album" and four others, plus a collaboration by four female brewers
The beer pub "...04&Beer" in Niigata City's Chuo Ward updated its tap list on a sunny Saturday. On tap are "Album," a collaboration involving four breweries from Kyoto, Wakayama, Nagano, and Niigata, along with selections from Shiga Kogen Beer, Ushitora Brewery, and MATSUMOTO BREWERY.
Hop BroNiigata's Furumachi 04&Beer has been updated. Today, on a sunny Saturday, the taps changed over, and there's a lot worth checking out.
MugiWhoa! It sounds like fun to go on a day like that! But first, what exactly is that Album?
Hop BroIt's a four-brewery collaboration by Yamorido, HEIWA CRAFT, Karuizawa Q, and Swanlake Beer. And the shop's description that it's a collaboration beer by four female brewers is especially great.
MugiOhhh! So it's one of those beers that started with a trip? Just the fact that it's a Germany-inspired idea already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. The four who went to Germany last year said it was so delicious they wanted to make it themselves. When a beer has that kind of background, it becomes a glass with a story.
MugiBut the other names catch my eye too! I know the Shiga Kogen one, but what is Traditional Bitter? Sounds pretty serious!
Hop BroGood catch. Real Ale is close to the British style that naturally finishes in the cask, so it's the kind that isn't about flashy carbonation but about a savoriness that builds gently.
MugiI get it! Then Shiga Kogen Pale Ale and Ushitora's Hatomugi Mashimashi would be fun to compare side by side!
Hop BroExactly. With Shiga Kogen Pale Ale, Hato Poppo Ale Hatomugi Mashimashi Ver., and MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter (Real Ale), you've got three straight hits of character.
MugiAnd it opens at 3 p.m. today, right? Being able to drink slowly from the afternoon is the best!
Hop BroYeah, and this time the plank is off. It's the kind of place in calm Furumachi where you can enjoy following the seasonal kegs, so there really is nothing to do but go.
MugiJust reading it makes my throat tighten... I want to seriously think about my first drink candidate today!
Hop BroDeal. Start with Album, then work your way around the kegs. A night of tasting comparisons is definitely going to be a good one.
The beer pub "...04&Beer" in Niigata's Furumachi area updated its tap lineup on a springlike sunny day. The standout this time is Album. It is a collaboration involving four breweries: Yamorido (Kyoto), HEIWA CRAFT (Wakayama), Karuizawa Q (Nagano), and Swanlake Beer (Niigata), and the shop describes it as "a collaboration beer by four female brewers."\n\nA post introduced the beer by saying that the four people who went to Germany last year found it so delicious they wanted to make it themselves, suggesting that the inspiration they got on the trip was turned directly into a single beer. Because it is a collaboration with a background that calls to mind the atmosphere of Germany, it naturally raises expectations about the direction of its flavor.\n\nThe other taps include Shiga Kogen Pale Ale (Shiga Kogen Beer), Hato Poppo Ale Hatomugi Mashimashi Ver. (Ushitora Brewery), and MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter (Real Ale) (MATSUMOTO BREWERY). From local Niigata staples to popular breweries from outside the prefecture, the lineup brings together beers with very different characters all at once.\n\nThe shop says it opens at 3 p.m. today, making it a good place to start drinking slowly from the afternoon. This time, however, the plank is taking a break. At this relaxed beer pub on Nishibori-mae-dori 8-bancho in Niigata City's Chuo Ward, there is real enjoyment in following the seasonal kegs one by one.
