PEPOWN in Chigasaki to Host Sun2Diner Pop-Up on August 5 with Three Pairing Beers
PEPOWN in Komyo, Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host a Sun2Diner pop-up on Wednesday, August 5, from 12:00 to 22:00. The event pairs burgers and jerk chicken with beers from West Coast Brewing, Georgetown Brewing Company, and Bellwoods Brewery.
Hop BroPEPOWN in Chigasaki is hosting a Sun2Diner pop-up on August 5. It runs from noon to 10 p.m., so this is basically engineered for daytime drinking.
MugiWhat! It's a first-Wednesday regular and it still goes that long? I could start with lunch and accidentally stay all day.
Hop BroThe food lineup is strong too. The stars are Chili Lasagna Burger and Jerk Chicken, which is a very obvious signal that beer pairing is the whole point.
MugiWhat even is that! Chimichurri Verde on top of that name makes the burger sound like it won both a food contest and a spelling bee.
Hop BroFor that burger, West Coast Brewing's Full Hop Alchemist makes sense. It's a Double Hazy IPA at 8.5%, with enough hop weight to stand up to a seriously rich bite.
MugiHold on, Double Hazy IPA sounds like a fantasy spell. So it's cloudy, super aromatic, and extra punchy?
Hop BroThat's basically it. Then Bellwoods Brewery brings Jelly King DDH Sour, and DDH means extra dry hopping, so you're getting bright aroma on top of the tartness.
MugiOhhh, so it's a sour reset button between bites of spicy jerk chicken. My taste buds are suddenly taking notes.
Hop BroAnd the bridge beer is Georgetown Brewing Company's Johnny Utah. It's an American Pale Ale at 5.6%, balanced enough to handle bold food without getting heavy.
MugiSo at PEPOWN I can bounce between three beers while switching from burger to jerk chicken? That is elite meal planning.
Hop BroHonestly, I want to go now. With three completely different flavor directions and takeaway on top, this event is dangerously efficient.
MugiThen it's settled: day drinking in Chigasaki with burger, chicken, and all three pairings. August 5 suddenly looks very busy.
