CIDER SHACK Introduces Mikkeller NZ and TDM1874 for Drinking Outdoors
The beer pub CIDER SHACK in Higashi, Shibuya, Tokyo introduced two recommended bottles from its current lineup for drinking outside or while out for a walk. One is a pilsner from Mikkeller NZ, and the other is a NEIPA from TDM1874 Brewery, offering both lightness and satisfying heft.
Hop BroCIDER SHACK in Higashi, Shibuya is making an outdoor drinking recommendation, and they came up with two bottles that are perfect for the season.
MugiWhoa, just hearing 'for outdoor drinking' is exciting! And the fact that the two beers go in completely different directions makes me even more curious!
Hop BroThe first is Mysterious Path - Hoppy Pilsner, a Mikkeller NZ pilsner at 4.5% ABV. Its selling points are sharp bitterness and refreshing juiciness.
MugiA pilsner usually feels light, so what do you mean by sharp bitterness? Wait, is it gentle or strong?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: it keeps the lightness of a pilsner while adding the outline of hops. And since it's Bohemian-style, it is not just crisp and clean; the bitterness lingers properly.
MugiI see, it sounds perfect for drinking while walking outside! But from the name, is Mikkeller NZ from New Zealand?
Hop BroExactly. The recipe comes from Mikkeller Pub London, and the brewing was done by Garage Project, so it's a beer that crosses borders. It's light, but it has a backbone, making it ideal for outdoor drinking.
MugiOhh! So the second one must hit harder, right? Cloud Cover - NEIPA already sounds soft and fluffy!
Hop BroThat's right, it's a NEIPA from TDM1874 Brewery at 6.5% ABV. It combines fruity hop character with the soft umami from wheat, so you can enjoy both aroma and body.
MugiWheat-derived umami suddenly sounds delicious! But NEIPA is that one that's kind of hazy and fluffy, right?
Hop BroExactly, that one. CIDER SHACK keeps TDM1874's IPA as a regular item, so this seasonal release has that same sense of trust behind it. One light beer and one fuller-bodied beer - both make you want to drink them right away.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, just reading this has my throat calling for beer! Whether it's after-work drinks or a weekend detour, today I want to go to CIDER SHACK!
The beer pub CIDER SHACK in Higashi, Shibuya, Tokyo is suggesting two recommended bottles from its current stock to match the season when it feels good to drink outdoors. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 17:00 to 24:00, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 14:00 to 24:00, making it easy to drop in for a drink after work or on a weekend outing.
The first beer introduced is Mysterious Path - Hoppy Pilsner / Mikkeller NZ. With an alcohol content of 4.5%, it is described as a Bohemian-style pilsner characterized by vivid bitterness and a fresh, lively character. The recipe was made at Mikkeller Pub London in the UK, while brewing was carried out by Garage Project in New Zealand, making this a beer that is light on its feet but still leaves a proper bitter finish.
The second beer is Cloud Cover - NEIPA / TDM1874 Brewery. At 6.5% ABV, it is introduced as a NEIPA with fruity hop character from its hop blend and the soft umami derived from wheat. CIDER SHACK says it regularly stocks IPA from TDM1874 Brewery, so including this seasonal brew suggests that the shop has confidence in the brewery's flavor profile.
The key point of this post is that it presents one beer that is easy to drink and another that lets you enjoy aroma and depth, just right for the warmer season. While the idea is clearly outdoor drinking, both beers have strong individual character, and the selection reflects the shop's clear sense of direction.
