Coaster Aobadai Introduces Six Canned Beers from Kaigan Brewery - A Lineup for Meguro River Cherry Blossom Viewing
Coaster Aobadai in Aobadai, Meguro Ward, Tokyo, introduced six canned beers from @kaiganbrewery. Timed to the cherry blossom season along the Meguro River, the lineup is easy to take away in cans, and can be enjoyed either as individual purchases or as a set of three mixed cans.
Hop BroThis Current Can Selection in Aobadai is really interesting. Coaster Aobadai has lined up six canned beers from Kaigan Brewery, and the fact that you can drop by easily before or after hanami along the Meguro River is great.
MugiWait, there are six canned beers!? I thought hanami was just for looking at cherry blossoms, but it is also a venue for beer selection!?
Hop BroExactly, and there is even a three-can mix so you can compare different beers more easily. You can go after your favorites one by one, or mix and match depending on your mood.
MugiThe first thing I want to know about is Neo Sakuya! Yuzu and hibiscus - is that really okay to put in beer?
Hop BroIt is okay - in fact, it works really well. The Yuzu Hibiscus Lager is light and floral, so it is a perfect beer for cherry blossom season.
MugiI get floral, but what is a Witbier!? Banana and apricot aroma sounds like dessert!
Hop BroA witbier is a white beer made with wheat, and it tends to be soft with aromas that stand out easily. Bakekujira takes that character and layers in a fruity note, which is what makes it so pleasantly easy to drink.
MugiThen what about Ogama Hazy IPA? The name already sounds cloudy, but is there a reason for the haze?
Hop BroThere is - it is a Hazy style designed to bring the juicy aroma to the front. It makes sense that it is introduced as Kaigan Brewery's flagship beer, because the tropical character really comes through.
MugiAnd then there's Umibozu Imperial Stout! Just the name alone has enough weight to carry it through the night - the kind of beer stout lovers will be happy about!
Hop BroExactly. What is nice is that the lineup ranges from a heavy, rich dark beer to the fruity Hoptimus Prime and the crisp Kintama IPLager. You walk along the Meguro River, pick out a can, and in the end you will probably want to have a drink after all.
