Amber Rondo in Sendai opens at 3 p.m. for July 18-20 service, with draft lineup and reserve kegs
Amber Rondo, a beer pub in Honcho, Aoba Ward, Sendai, will open at 3 p.m. from Saturday, July 18 through Monday, July 20. The post highlights a draft lineup built around measured pours and several kegs waiting to be tapped.
Hop BroSendai has a solid daytime drinking story here: Amber Rondo’s holiday hours are looking great. From July 18 to 20, they open at 3 p.m. and have 10 draft taps running.
MugiWait, 3 p.m. opening all weekend? That totally wins! So it’s basically daytime craft beer paradise?
Hop BroExactly, and they’re focusing on draft beer sold by volume too. That makes it easy to adjust your pour size and try a bunch of different beers.
MugiI get the volume thing, but kegs waiting to be tapped? What is that? Are the beers literally lining up?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s pretty close. It means reserve kegs are standing by, and once a current tap kicks, the next one goes on. The fun part is the fast-changing tap list.
MugiOhhh! Then from the current list, Makikaze IPA and Joey XPA are calling my name. But is XPA like IPA’s cousin or what?
Hop BroGood question. XPA means Extra Pale Ale, and it usually keeps the hop aroma lively without pushing the bitterness as hard as an IPA. Faló Brewing’s Joey XPA sounds like a very friendly entry point.
MugiOkay, that helps! Then what about West Coast Brewing’s Haze Alliance? The name alone sounds cloudy and dangerous!
Hop BroCloudy, yes. Dangerous, maybe to your self-control. Hazy beers are all about soft haze and juicy flavor, and having UMAMAMAM from Cloudwater x West Coast plus Mikkeller’s Burst IPA on the same board is pretty loaded. They’ve also got reserve kegs like WC-IPA and HOPDOG BREWING’s 3rd Anniversary IPA waiting.
MugiWow, a wave of anniversary beers is basically a festival! And if you order Mikkeller in 400ml or 500ml, you also get a sticker or coaster, right?
Hop BroRight, which is why booking ahead is safer. Reservations are starting to fill, and some kegs are already marked low, so this is not a casual “maybe later” lineup.
MugiThen it’s settled! Joey XPA first, Makikaze IPA next, and Aventinus to finish... now I want a day-drinking trip to Sendai so badly!
Hop BroThat sequence is strong. Add a Lemon Lager as a reset and you’ve got a 10-tap maze worth getting lost in. At this point, I just want us both to go drink it.
