Announcing 5 New Tap Beers at CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI
The beer pub CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI in Funabashi announced five new kegs on tap. The lineup features five beers from Kakegawa Farm Brewing, SETOUCHI BEER, Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery, Hoppukotan Brewing, and NORTH ISLAND BEER, spanning everything from dark lager to witbier.
Hop BroThe five new taps in the Funabashi Station area are a strong move from CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI. Having everything from dark lager to witbier on one lineup feels really satisfying, doesn't it?
MugiWait, all five are different? With that much variety, I wouldn't know where to start!
Hop BroFirst up is Kakegawa Farm Brewing's `8Bit Dark Lager`. It's a European-style dark lager, the kind you sip slowly for its calm bitterness and malt richness.
MugiWhat even is malt richness? Like a kind of malty sweetness? That's sneaky, making it sound smart like that!
Hop BroExactly. To put it simply, it's the depth that comes from the malt. When that is layered with a roasty aroma, it becomes irresistible for black beer fans.
MugiThen to switch things up, I'm curious about SETOUCHI BEER's `SETOUCHI GRAPEFUL IPA`! A fruit IPA sounds juicy just from the name!
Hop BroYou can expect that. It combines fruitiness with IPA-style hop definition, so the way the aroma lifts is the kind of thing that really decides the impression.
MugiWait, there's more? Even the name `エサヌカ線` from Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery is strong, and a White Strawberry Milkshake IPA? What is even happening there?!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. The key is watching the balance between sweetness and hops, and milkshake IPAs tend to have a softer mouthfeel, so they can feel almost dessert-like.
MugiI'm curious about Hoppukotan Brewing's `梅見がち`, and NORTH ISLAND BEER's CORIANDER WHITE sounds refreshing too! Today is definitely a tasting comparison kind of day!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup is built for the fun of side-by-side tasting, so if you choose while watching the beer being poured over the counter in Honcho 1-chome in Funabashi, you'll already be in the mood from the first glass.
MugiAnd if they even have a pairing course with food, that's basically perfect! Let's make this our first stop tonight and start with the dark lager!
Hop BroGood idea. I want to start with a toast over the dark lager, then work my way through the IPA and the witbier too. This is definitely a lineup that makes you want to drink.
