Niigata's ...04&Beer introduces a five-beer tap list, including new arrivals from Minoh Beer
The beer pub ...04&Beer in Nishi-Horimae-dori, Chuo Ward, Niigata City, has published its tap list for a rainy Friday. With beers from Plank Brewery's Heller Weizenbock, Swan Lake Beer, MATSUMOTO Brewery, and Minoh Beer on the lineup, it offers plenty of chances for side-by-side tasting.
Hop Bro04&Beer's tap list in Nishi-Horimae-dori, Chuo Ward, Niigata City is pretty bold for a rainy Friday, isn't it?
MugiWhat, that many beers on a rainy day!? A five-beer tasting already sounds fun on its own!
Hop BroThe lineup includes Plank Brewery's Heller Weizenbock, Swan Lake Beer's Golden Swan Lake Ale, MATSUMOTO Brewery's pale ale, and Minoh Beer's Session Black IPA.
MugiWhat is that! Weizenbock sounds strong, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it's a style that combines the wheat character of a Weizen with the malt depth of a Bock. It often carries the yeast aroma typical of hefe-style beers, and it's rich and satisfying to drink.
MugiOh, I see! So Niigata's Swan Lake is kind of like a comforting local flavor, right?
Hop BroExactly. And once MATSUMOTO Brewery's Awesome! Pale Ale is on the list, it adds the fun of chasing hop aroma too.
MugiWait, Minoh Beer has Session Black IPA in two versions!? Even a real ale version? That's almost unfair!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. According to the shop's description, the regular version is cleaner than the real ale. So even with the same beer, you can compare the difference in carbonation and mouthfeel.
MugiWow, I want to compare them! And if there's a bring-your-own-food event on Sunday too, the food options could go on forever!
Hop BroA place that lines up five beers from different regions like this makes it feel less like just drinking and more like you're traveling. On a rainy day, I'd want to settle in at 04&Beer and enjoy a slow pint.
MugiYeah, this is impossible now, I just want to toast right away!
The beer pub ...04&Beer, located in Nishi-Horimae-dori 8-bancho in Niigata, has shared its tap list on Instagram. In the post, the shop notes, "It's a Friday with heavy rain," while introducing the beers available on tap.
Today's lineup features five beers: Heller Weizenbock / Plank Brewery (Bavaria), Golden Swan Lake Ale / Swan Lake Beer (Niigata), MATSUMOTO Awesome! Pale Ale / MATSUMOTO Brewery (Nagano), Session Black IPA / Minoh Beer (Osaka) ← new!, and Session Black IPA (Real Ale) / Minoh Beer (Osaka). From a hefe-style Weizenbock to local Niigata Swan Lake, a hop-forward pale ale, and even Minoh Beer’s Session Black IPA, it’s a lineup with a clearly broad range of flavors.
The post explains Minoh Beer’s Session Black IPA by saying, "We have it on real ale, but we're tapping the regular version. It's a little cleaner than the real ale. It goes down smoothly. Definitely try comparing them!" That means drinkers can enjoy comparing it with the real ale version of the same beer. The post also mentions that a food potluck event is planned for Sunday, so it looks like a place where you can enjoy both food and beer together.
