PUB Karr in Kyoto adds Kyoto Brewing’s new “Papi Pupu Pinst” to the taps
PUB Karr, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Kawaramachi-Rokkaku area, shared its June 29 tap list. The lineup includes Kyoto Brewing’s new “Papi Pupu Pinst,” plus beers from FLORA FERMENTATION and Asahi.
Hop BroPUB Karr on the second floor in Kyoto's Kawaramachi Rokkaku just dropped a fun June 29 tap list, and the headline is Kyoto Brewing's new release Papipupe Pinsu.
MugiWait, that name is way too cute! Papipupe Pinsu sounds more like a snack than a beer, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the trick. It's a dessert beer inspired by Korean patbingsu, loaded with lactose, mango, and banana in a fruit-smoothie style.
MugiHold on, beer with lactose? You're not telling me they just splash milk in there, right?!
Hop BroIf they did that, we'd have a crime scene. Lactose is a sugar yeast usually can't fully ferment, so it leaves soft sweetness and a thicker body.
MugiWhoa, so with mango and banana it's basically a drinkable tropical dessert. I could inhale that in this heat!
Hop BroAnd the five taps are nicely balanced too: Kyoto Brewing's Shukyu 6 Nichi, FLORA FERMENTATION's Cascara and Utsurobone, plus Maruefu on tap from Asahi.
MugiThat range is wild! Sneaking in a familiar pint between the adventurous stuff is actually super thoughtful.
Hop BroExactly. PUB Karr also leans into Good beer & Records, opens at 6 p.m., and even folds the 2 a.m. Brazil match into the whole late-night vibe.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. Second floor in Kawaramachi Rokkaku, records, night air, and a smoothie beer? I'm already halfway out the door!
Hop BroThe finish is obvious then: I'd start with a glass of Papipupe Pinsu to cool down, then slide over to Shukyu 6 Nichi or one of the FLORA pours.
MugiDeal! I'm going straight for the fruit-packed new beer first. Just hearing this made me thirsty for PUB Karr.
PUB Karr is a beer pub on the second floor in Kyoto’s Kawaramachi-Rokkaku area. In its June 29 post, the bar announced that it was opening at 6:00 p.m. and shared both a new arrival and the day’s tap list.
The highlight is Kyoto Brewing’s “Papi Pupu Pinst.” The post describes it as a dessert beer inspired by Korean bingsu, made with lactose, mango, and banana for a fruit-smoothie style profile. It sounds built for hot weather, with a sweet, creamy fruit character that should read clearly on draft.
The taps for the day were:
- Kyoto Brewing “Shukkyu 6-nichi”
- Kyoto Brewing “Papi Pupu Pinst”
- FLORA FERMENTATION “Cascara”
- FLORA FERMENTATION “Utsurobone”
- Asahi “Maruef”
With two craft breweries in the mix and a familiar domestic standard alongside them, the lineup is easy to approach for both beer geeks and casual drinkers. PUB Karr also presents itself as a place for good beer and records, so the setting pairs draft beer with a music-forward atmosphere.
The post also mentioned a Brazil match starting at 2:00 a.m., hinting at a late-night crowd and a bar that stays relevant well into the night. For anyone looking to follow new Japanese craft releases in central Kyoto, this is a useful stop to keep in mind.
