Beer Cafe Ninkasi lists Shiga Kogen KASUMI and Horsehead Labs Kanbara Ale for June 14
The Kunitachi beer pub shared its June 14 opening hours and draft lineup. New taps include Shiga Kogen Beer KASUMI and Horsehead Labs Kanbara Ale, alongside a mix that ranges from fruit ale to classic German-style and hop-forward beers.
Hop BroBeer Cafe NINKASI in Kunitachi just posted its June 14 draft lineup, and the two fresh tappings are Shiga Kogen's KASUMI and Horseheads Labs' Kanbara Ale.
MugiWait, freshly tapped makes that big a difference? Also, KASUMI sounds elegant and Kanbara Ale sounds like a weekend trip destination!
Hop BroThat contrast is exactly the fun part. KASUMI is a hazy session IPA, so it looks cloudy but drinks light with a soft wave of hop aroma.
MugiHold on, hazy session sounds like a magic spell. Cloudy but light? Beer has plot twists now!
Hop BroPretty much. Hazy means a misty look and softer hop expression, and session means lower alcohol and easy drinking, so think aromatic and crushable IPA.
MugiOhhh, then even I could get into that! But Kanbara Ale being a DDH IPA is definitely another explain-it-to-me moment!
Hop BroDDH means double dry-hopped, where extra hops are added after fermentation to boost aroma, so Kanbara Ale should have a sharper hop outline.
MugiSo KASUMI is the fluffy one and Kanbara Ale is the punchy one? And they also have Sankt Gallen's Pineapple Ale? That tap list just went tropical!
Hop BroExactly, and with Green Brewery's Aka Post IPA plus continuing taps like Hoya Boya, Nagi, and a Weizenbock, you can move from fruit to bitterness without missing a beat.
MugiAnd with doors opening at 4:00 p.m. and closing at midnight, that is a full evening plan. Then I saw Neko ni Hiki and Imperial Stout in Coming Soon, and my self-control packed up and left.
Hop BroThat is the charm of NINKASI. The draft list keeps changing inside normal daily service, and today feels especially essential for IPA fans.
MugiDecision made. Start with KASUMI, hit Kanbara Ale next, maybe chase it with Pineapple Ale, and honestly I want them all.
