Anton Bee Ryudocho store opens 11 kegs on April 27, from sours to lagers
The Anton Bee family location in Roppongi unveiled an 11-keg tap list on April 27. From Burnish's sour and Isekadoya's IPA to NARA's Belgian White, the lineup spans everything from easy-drinking pours to hop-forward beers.
Hop BroToday, the hot topic is the 11-keg opening on April 27. The Anton Bee Ryudocho store had the taps moving all at once in the basement under Roppongi.
MugiWhoa! Eleven kegs is a lot, isn't it? With that many, I wouldn't know where to start and I'd be totally lost!
Hop BroThe entry point is easy to understand: it starts with Burnish's sour "One-Trick Pony : Blue Razz Gelato" and Tekikaka's cider "Dolgo." It's a lineup of two fruit-forward beers that wakes up your palate first.
MugiCider means the apple one, right? Beer that's cider is a little confusing to wrap my head around!
Hop BroThat's the point. Here, cider means a category closer to sparkling fruit wine. It's less sweet and refreshing, so lined up with a sour, it's easy to compare them in a light, brisk way.
MugiI get it! And having NIKUKYU IPA come in around the middle feels like something cute but strong, like it suddenly socked you with a paw!
Hop BroWhat's more, Isekadoya's "NIKUKYU IPA," NARA's "FHILHARMONY," Societe's "The Coachman," and Ushitora's "Tenshi no Hane" each have their own distinct character. When you have everything from IPA to Belgian-style beers, the range of aromas is fun.
MugiWhat's a Belgian White anyway? When I hear white beer, I end up picturing something that looks like snow!
Hop BroIt may not look white, but it is a style that brings out the unfiltered feel of malt and the soft texture from wheat. With its light mouthfeel, the flow into the back half of Minoh's "SARUYAMA SHIKAO" and "OSARU IPA," Mikkeller NZ's "Windy Hill," and Ace's "Joker Dry" feels clean.
MugiWow! If you can get all the way to lager at the end, it's like enjoying it as a journey from start to finish. It makes me want to try them little by little after work!
Hop BroExactly. In the basement at Roppongi 5-1-5, from 5 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, it's perfect for a casual drink. You end up wanting to compare them a little at a time and wonder whether to start with a sour tonight or finish with a lager.
MugiNow I really want a drink...! I'm in the mood to make tonight's one glass happen at Anton Bee.
Tap List for April 27
At CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, a beer pub in the basement in Roppongi, 11 kegs went on the board on Monday, April 27. It is a lineup that works for stopping by after work and taking your time comparing beers from the first glass onward.
The day's openings started with Burnish's sour, "One-Trick Pony : Blue Razz Gelato," and Tekikaka's cider, "Dolgo." Next came Isekadoya's "NIKUKYU IPA," NARA's "FHILHARMONY," Bootstrap's "Chillax Pinapple Gold," Societe's "The Coachman," and Ushitora's "Tenshi no Hane."
In the second half, the range stretches from sour, cider, IPA, Belgian White, to light lager, including Minoh's "SARUYAMA SHIKAO" and "OSARU IPA," Mikkeller NZ's "Windy Hill," and Ace's "Joker Dry." One of the appealing parts of the day is how easy it is to build a flow that starts with fruit-forward labels and moves on to hop-driven IPAs and crisp lagers.
The shop is on the B1F basement floor at 5-1-5 Roppongi, making it easy to face each drink one by one in a calm atmosphere. Hours are 5 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, with last food orders at 11 p.m. and drinks until 11:30 p.m. It is a convenient spot for days when you want to sample several kegs little by little without lingering too long.
