Craft beer TOCA in Mitaka adds four Yorocco Beer YBAP releases
Craft beer TOCA, a beer pub in Inokashira, Mitaka, has added four Yorocco Beer YBAP releases to its Bottle shop TOCA selection. All four are barrel-aged saisons with grape pomace, offering a side-by-side look at different grape expressions.
Hop BroCraft beer TOCA in Mitaka just got four YBAP bottles in. If you like Yorocco Beer, this is not one to miss.
MugiWait, what! What even is YBAP? It sounds like a secret organization and now I need answers!
Hop BroThe lineup is all four YBAPs: YBAP Chardonnay, YBAP Pinot Noir, YBAP Pinot Noir # 40 c/w BEAU PAYSAGE, and YBAP Pinot Noir # 57 c/w BEAU PAYSAGE.
MugiNo way, that is a spell of a style name. What does Barrel aged Saison w/ Grape Pomace even mean?
Hop BroBasically, it's a barrel-aged saison. Saison is a light, dry Belgian-style ale, and grape pomace is the leftover skins and seeds from winemaking that add aroma and depth.
MugiOhh! So it's a beer with grape echoes. A beer acting like a wine bar is kind of outrageously classy!
Hop BroExactly, and the fun part is the grape variety comparison. Chardonnay should feel brighter and more elegant, while Pinot Noir tends to bring fruit and depth, and the two with BEAU PAYSAGE on them look even more distinctive.
MugiWait, the same series can shift that much? A numbered Pinot showdown too? That's basically an event!
Hop BroAnd TOCA lets you drink on site while also having take-home bottle options. Being both a beer pub and Bottle shop TOCA is a strong combo.
MugiIf you're around Mitaka, this feels perfect for a curveball Belgian craving. Barrel-aged fans would be all over this too.
Hop BroThat's the appeal. If you get wine-like nuance plus saison dryness, choosing the first bottle becomes a serious problem.
MugiI am sold, I want a tasting flight now. One at the pub, one bottle to go, and my night is planned!
