CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi Adds Four New Taps, Including KCBC
On June 11, CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi, a beer pub in Roppongi 5-chome, added four new beers from KCBC, Karuizawa Q, Onidensetsu, and Ushitora. The day's lineup spans watermelon gose, saison, pale ale, and West Coast IPA, with craft beer and cider available on draft.
Hop BroRoppongi has a good one today: at CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, June 11 brought four fresh taps, and the lineup looks seriously tempting.
MugiWhat! Four new kegs at once? If KCBC is in there too, I'm already grinning at the tap list.
Hop BroThe headline pour is KCBC's Vicious Crush, a watermelon gose that supposedly drinks like a watermelon margarita. That's unfairly perfect for summer.
MugiWait, what is gose? That sounds less like beer and more like a spell from wizard school.
Hop BroGose is a style with a little salt and acidity, often light and refreshing. Add watermelon and you get that margarita-like impression.
MugiOhhh! Then Karuizawa Q's Another Afternoon being an oak-chip saison is a whole different kind of fancy, right?
Hop BroExactly. Saison is dry and breezy, and the oak adds a woody edge. Then Oni Densetsu's KINNNONI Pale Ale Simcoe brings firm bitterness, while Ushitora's Chobi Hige IPA goes full nostalgic West Coast IPA with lovely citrus.
MugiThat is so much in the best way. Watermelon surprise, classy oak, then citrus on the finish... my taste buds are doing full emotional labor.
Hop BroAnd it's not just the new pours. With Isekado, Minoh, Sierra Nevada, COEDO, cider, and more, it's a wide tap lineup that works for a first pint or a tasting run.
MugiLager, IPA, sour, saison, even doburoku beer? That's basically flight heaven. A whole group could go and nobody would be bored.
Hop BroWeekdays start at 5 p.m., food goes to 11, drinks to 11:30, so it's an easy after-work detour. They even do reservations and party plans.
MugiI'm sold. I want to start with Vicious Crush, cool down, then finish on Chobi Hige IPA. You also want a pint now, don't you?
Hop BroCompletely. I'd sneak Another Afternoon into the middle too. This tonight's lineup is enough to make both of us thirsty just reading about it.
