Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, New Taps on May 16 from FLORA FERMENTATION and SAPPORO
The beer pub in the basement near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, has published its tap list for May 16. The new openings are FLORA FERMENTATION's "Palis / Hazy IPA" and SAPPORO's "Edelpils." Built around domestic craft beer, the lineup for the day ranges widely from lagers to barley wine.
Hop BroToday, the May 16 tap update at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, the basement beer pub in Akasaka-Mitsuke, is heating up. The new taps are FLORA FERMENTATION's Palis / Hazy IPA and SAPPORO's Edelpils, a lineup that really makes you hesitate over the first pour.
MugiWhoa! A basement beer pub already feels like a secret base, and now there's a Hazy IPA too!? And there's Edelpils as well, so suddenly the lineup is seriously strong!
Hop BroExactly, and what's fun here is that it's centered on domestic craft beer, with everything from lagers to barley wine on the board. For example, Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN's 102 x 69 Roggen Roll / Rye Helles and Hansharo Beer's Agari Red Lager are there too, so you can really see the wide range of styles.
MugiHuh? Wait, what even is a Rye Helles? That sounds like a spell. I've heard of Helles, but I have no idea what changes when rye is added!
Hop BroGood question. Helles is a crisp German lager, and when rye is added, it brings a little spiciness and a clearer grain character. In other words, it adds a bit of personality to a smooth drinking profile, like the beer suddenly starts telling you a story.
MugiI get it now! Then FLORA FERMENTATION's Cascara / Dunkel w/ Coffee Cherry already has too much information in the name alone! Coffee cherry added? I'm confused whether this is dessert or beer!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Dunkel is a darker lager style, and when coffee cherry is added, fruit-like notes and toastiness start layering together. And the dark-beer section also has FLORA FERMENTATION's Tayu / Porter w/ Soba and Kyoto Brewing's Sweet Expectation, so there's a traffic jam of roasted aromas going on.
MugiThat's amazing! A soba porter sounds like the beer and the snacks are holding hands. And the name Sweet Expectation is the kind that makes you grin before you even drink it!
Hop BroWhat I like is that even the closing candidates aren't neglected. Black Tide Brewing's #473 Melty Honey / Barley Wine with Honey is there, so from a light pour to a dark, high-alcohol one, it's a lineup that never gets boring.
MugiWow, that sounds dangerous in Akasaka-Mitsuke! You could walk in after work for a quick drink and before you know it, you're on a tasting route!
Hop BroExactly. It's great for just one drink at the counter, and it's also fun to line up a few and compare them with friends. Today, I feel like heading to the basement in Akasaka-Mitsuke to decide on the first pour.
MugiLet's go, let's go! I'll start with the Edelpils, and Hop-bro can take the Palis. Today is basically a toast waiting to happen!
