Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward has posted an update on its 5 taps! The highlight is Hanjuro Beer's Thanks! Westcoast IPA.
MugiWhoa! Is that the one from the crowdfunding project? Just the name Thanks! Westcoast IPA already sounds powerful!
Hop BroExactly. Hanjuro Beer’s "World No. 1 Canned Beer Project" has reached its second goal, so this serving also feels like a celebration. ABV is 6.5%!
MugiHuh! But what is that nitro canned beer mentioned in the post? Is this where science class starts?!
Hop BroBasically, instead of carbonation, it uses gas that leans more toward nitrogen to create a finer, creamier head. It makes the mouthfeel smoother.
MugiOhhh, so it’s like a milky foam! So what’s the tap lineup this time? I heard it’s a great setup for tasting side by side!
Hop BroThere are five in total: ENNUI from NARA BREWING, Rustic Saison-BFM Yeast Ver. from ZAKKOKUKOUBOU, SHIGA KOGEN HELLES!! from Shiga Kogen, Thanks! Westcoast IPA from Hanjuro, and Hop Schema Nectaron from CRAFT BEER BASE. It’s a style-spanning lineup.
MugiENNUI is a Brown Ale with Azuki & Condensed Milk, which is an overloaded glass of information! Is it dessert or beer?!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. Kakuuchi Asakura lets you use the place like a liquor store, with standing-drink service, growler fill information, Saturday-only sushi, and seasonal snacks.
MugiThis means I have to chase the latest taps in Kyoto! Tonight I want to start with a Helles for the first toast and finish with the West Coast IPA!
