Hop BroA new Tokyo Aleworks tap has come to MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku. They tapped the Ameyoko Pale Ale for Saturday MOONRISE KINGDOM on March 28.
MugiWhat! Ameyoko, as in the Ameyoko in Ueno!? Why would a pale ale have a name like that? The name alone is intriguing~!
Hop BroExactly. It's a Tokyo Aleworks beer, and its hallmarks are hoppy citrus notes and dankness. In other words, it's a pale ale with bright citrusy aromatics and a bit of green, fresh hop character.
MugiDank? What is that, some harsh detergent smell? When a beer is described as dank, my head goes a little fuzzy~.
Hop BroDon't worry, it's not detergent. Here, dank refers to a nuance close to moist hop character, with grassy and resinous aromas. And the nice thing about this one is that it's clear and easy to keep drinking.
MugiOhhh! So it looks crisp, but the aroma is lively. And MOONRISE KINGDOM has three domestic draft taps plus 30 overseas craft beer bottles? Just choosing sounds fun!
Hop BroThat's its strength. You can go just for the guest beer, or make a detour based on your mood from the 30 overseas bottles. It's the kind of place in Nishi-Shinjuku that makes it easy to start your weekend with a first drink.
MugiAnd the food sounds like it would pair amazingly well too, like tree avocado dip and BBQ Mexican steak! Mexican food and citrus hops sound delicious just thinking about them~.
Hop BroExactly. A pale ale with citrus notes also pairs well with dishes that have herbal notes or acidity. Combinations like ceviche-style carpaccio or prosciutto with fruit should fit beautifully.
MugiAll right, this means I have to go! The right move is to make a spring toast with the Ameyoko Pale Ale as the first drink, then decide what to have next!
