And Beer in Koenji to Pour Limited Kankin Lager on July 26
And Beer, a brewpub in Koenji, Tokyo, will open all day on Sunday, July 26. The lineup includes the limited collaboration beer Kankin Lager with Hakko Department Yamanashi, plus rotating dishes such as Jollof rice, washoku-style chicken, and pork vindaloo.
Hop BroAnd Beer in Koenji is running all day today, July 26, with the limited '神金ラガー' on offer.
MugiWhat! So you can drop by anytime? 11:30 to 21:00 is a very dangerous schedule for my self-control!
Hop BroAnd it's a collab with Hakko Department Yamanashi, brewed as a Koshihikari rice lager using rice from the Jinkane area of Koshu, Yamanashi.
MugiRice in a lager!? Using cooked rice sounds like someone's dinner accidentally joined the brew day!
Hop BroThat part is the trick. Adding cooked rice can leave a faint aroma and make for a clean, light finish that's easy to keep drinking.
MugiOkay, hold on, what's an adjunct? You just switched into secret brewer meeting mode!
Hop BroIt means an ingredient other than malt that's used to shape flavor or texture. Here it's rice, so basically it's a food-friendly lager built to sit nicely with a meal.
MugiOhhh, then it sounds perfect with the jollof rice, Japanese dashi chicken, pork vindaloo, and Gujo miso keema, that whole daily spice lineup!
Hop BroEspecially the pork vindaloo and Gujo miso keema as a two-curry combo. The lager should catch all that spice without getting buried.
MugiAnd they do bottles, plastic cups, and growlers too? Takeout beer options this flexible are honestly unfair!
Hop BroPlus the terrace allows dogs and cats, and there's Uber Eats too, so this really feels like a Koenji beer day no matter how you play it.
MugiThen it's settled. One '神金ラガー,' spicy food, and probably another pour after that... my stomach is open all day too!
