Hop BroKanamecho’s The Cat & Cask Tavern has revealed its September 16 tap list. This British-style pub in a house will be pouring four Japanese craft beers.
MugiWhoa! Four Japanese craft beers sounds like a perfectly focused lineup. What are they?
Hop BroThere’s a Brimmer Brewing Pale Ale, Shiga Kogen Beer’s limited House Lager, plus Minoh Beer’s limited Summer Lager and Osaru IPA.
MugiPale ale and IPA both sound hop-forward, but what’s the difference? I’m getting tipsy from the names alone!
Hop BroA pale ale tends to balance hop aroma and bitterness, while an IPA generally pushes hops more boldly. It’s a nice range of hop expression to explore.
MugiNice! If I compare Summer Lager and Osaru IPA from Minoh Beer, I can taste two totally different sides of one brewery.
Hop BroExactly. Lagers are often crisp and easygoing, so starting with a limited lager before moving to the IPA makes a great tasting order.
MugiHold on—real ale is served by hand pump? Is a hand-pulled beer some kind of workout for the beer?
Hop BroNo beer workouts required! A hand pump draws beer from the cask, often giving it gentler carbonation and a softer feel—such a classic British pub pour.
MugiThree real-ale taps and three draft taps, with beers changing as they go—so check before visiting if there’s one you really want.
Hop BroThey’re open Wednesday through Saturday, 6–10 p.m.; beer orders end at 9:30. Groups are limited to four, and the cash-on-delivery system makes ordering by the glass easy.
MugiA quiet British-style room, limited lagers, and Osaru IPA—just imagining tonight’s first pint makes me want to raise a glass!
