Hop BroThe Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho just put out its tap list for May 27. I like that it isn't a flashy total reset this time, but a lineup that lets you drink slowly and properly.
MugiHuh, not much change from last week? That's actually reassuring! I always get excited wondering what's going to be on, but there are days when the classics are strong too!
Hop BroExactly. This time, the stars are three limited Minoh beers: Spring Lager, Papazaru Dark Lager, and Kozaru IPA. You can already imagine that clean, well-defined Minoh character, can't you?
MugiOhhh! But a Dark Lager sounds like a black beer, right? It sounds bitter, and I feel like I'd suddenly start looking very serious!
Hop BroThat's an easy misunderstanding, but because it's a lager it has that crisp, low-temperature fermentation character. Even if the color is dark, it's not too heavy, and you can enjoy the roast notes smoothly.
MugiWhat? And Yokohama's Pub Crawl IPA is coming as a real ale? Even though it's an IPA, it sounds like a completely different drink!
Hop BroGood catch. Real ale isn't pushed by heavy carbonation; it's served gently from the cask to bring out the aroma. So even with an IPA, it's interesting how the hop character blooms softly.
MugiOhhh! And that one cask starting every Wednesday thing makes it feel special. It's like first come, first served, which makes me want to go back again and again!
Hop BroAnd since the pub itself has that British-style setup with three hand-pump taps and three draft taps, you can enjoy not just the beer but the aroma and the foam too. It's more a place to face each pint properly than to drink in a noisy rush.
MugiWow, Minoh and real ale in a calm space sound incredibly good! I'm curious about the snacks too, and now I want to drink slowly and quietly!
Hop BroThey're open Wednesday through Saturday from 18:00 to 22:00, with beer last call at 21:30. So after work, all that's left is to stop by and check what's in the cask.
MugiDeal! Let's go all in from the first glass tonight. Both the limited Minoh beers and the Yokohama real ale sound impossible to choose between!
