Beer Pub Nekoto Azarashi Opens 10 Taps Including Baeren "Schwarz" on 4/15
Beer Pub Nekoto Azarashi in Tokyo's Mitaka announced its tap list for April 15. The lineup spans everything from dark beers to IPA, sour, and Belgian white styles, including Baeren's Schwarz, KIX BEER's Weizenbock, and Y.Market's HYSTERIC IPA.
Hop BroBeer Pub Nekoto Azarashi in Mitaka is pouring a big 10-keg release on April 15. Starting with Baeren's Schwarz, the fact that dark beers, IPA, and sour styles are all lined up at once feels great.
MugiWhoa, ten different beers? With that many, I'm going to have a hard time deciding what to drink first!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. This time, the lineup ranges from dark beers to sour styles, so you can choose based on your mood. For example, Baeren's Schwarz leans toward a roasty dark-beer profile, while KIX BEER's Weizenbock combines the softness of wheat with the depth of a bock.
MugiWeizenbock sounds strong just from the name! It's kind of like a spell, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's like an extra dose of wheat richness. Sometimes you get banana-like aromas, and it still has the solid, satisfying body you'd expect from a bock. So it's gentle on the palate, but still very satisfying.
MugiI see! Then Y.Market's HYSTERIC IPA must be the one that hits hard with hops, right? It sounds pretty wild just from the name!
Hop BroExactly, it has a strong hop aroma the way an IPA should. And Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing's OLLIE stands out for its Sour IPA acidity, making it great when you want to switch up your mood quickly. Yokohama Bay Brewing's Weekend Journey is a Belgian white, so you can also enjoy a bright, citrusy lightness.
MugiWait, they even have a Belgian white!? That citrusy lightness might really shock my brain if I drink it after a dark beer!
Hop BroThat contrast is what makes it good. And since the food includes chili beans, beer curry, rapini with mustard dressing, and Chinese-style char siu, there are plenty of beer-friendly dishes to pair with the drinks. If you want the low-stock Schwarz or Weekend Journey, getting there early is the right move.
MugiI already want to go! I'd love to drink my way through dark beers to sour styles and finish with chili beans!
Hop BroYeah, a night of slow drinking in Mitaka is the best. With an early pint being the winning move, it makes you want to imagine the tap lineup at Nekoto Azarashi and have a drink yourself.
MugiExactly! I'm in the mood to drink right now, and I'll start with the Schwarz. What are you having, Hop?
