Hop BroThere’s a tap opening in Gion at Bakushu Yumeyomi that’s worth talking about. From 5:00 PM on August 22, KaruizawaQ’s “Glück” is pouring on draft.
MugiWait, KaruizawaQ’s “Glück”!? That name already sounds lucky, and draft beer instantly makes me want to run there.
Hop BroAnd the style is Dortmunder. It’s a lager that stays crisp but still gives you real malt depth, which is the fun part.
MugiDor... Dortmunder? That style name sounds less like beer and more like a special attack move!
Hop BroBasically, it has clear malt character, solid body, and a slightly firm bitterness from Hallertau hops layered on top.
MugiWhat is that, Hallertau hops? I swear that sounds like the name of a strict professor from Germany.
Hop BroIt’s a hop variety name tied to a growing region. In simple terms, it brings elegant bitterness and keeps the beer flavorful without getting too heavy.
MugiOhhh! And it’s also an anniversary beer for KARAKURI’s 8th year plus Komuro Beer, so it feels extra festive.
Hop BroExactly, and the owner is even recommending a side-by-side tasting with the house lager. For beer nerds, that’s irresistible.
MugiIt’s available until 10:00 PM, and August 23 is a closed day, right? Wow, procrastination just got officially canceled.
Hop BroEven in hot weather, this is the kind of beer where you can really chase depth of flavor and pay attention to the malt and hop balance.
MugiNow I absolutely want one. Let’s raise a glass with “Glück” on draft and go all in on that lager comparison.
At Mugishu Yumeyomi, a beer pub on the second floor of the Shima-ya Building in Kyoto's Higashiyama ward, KaruizawaQ's Glück will be served on draft from 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 22. The post says service runs until 10:00 p.m., and the shop will be closed on Sunday, August 23.
Glück is introduced as a Dortmund-style lager. According to the post, it is a commemorative beer for KARAKURI's 8th anniversary and a joint anniversary release with Komuro Beer. The beer is described as having a fairly firm Hallertau hop bitterness, plus a clear malt character with depth. The shop also encourages a comparison with its own signature lager.
Mugishu Yumeyomi is the kind of place where beer stays at the center of the experience. A Dortmund-style lager like this is best enjoyed by paying attention to the malt weight and the hop profile, rather than chasing flash. It looks like a solid tap for anyone who wants to slow down and read the beer's structure glass by glass.
