The beer pub "Beer Tsukasa" in Uji, Kyoto, updated its Instagram on March 23. While showing that it values not only hop brightness but also the aroma and character derived from barley, the post introduced Oni Kaku TY's Imperial Red Ale, Mugi no Manimani, and several other labels shown in the image.
Hop BroUji beer pub Beer Tsukasa updated its post on March 23, and I like that it looks at barley aroma too, not just hops.
MugiWhoa! So putting emphasis on barley aroma really makes that much difference? It's not just about bitterness!
Hop BroExactly. For example, the recently tapped Oni Kaku TY Imperial Red Ale is the kind of beer where the malt depth and hop character fit together nicely.
MugiImperial Red Ale sounds strong just from the name! What does that malt depth actually feel like?
Hop BroSimply put, it means it has a solid malt-derived sweetness and toasty flavor. The article also mentioned Mugi no Manimani, and you can see that it values beers that really bring out the barley impression.
MugiHuh, I like the energy of the phrase saying it had just been drained by a group of Germans! So it's a pretty punchy beer.
Hop BroThe lineup in the image is interesting too, with labels like ISEKADO German Pilsner and Minoh Beer Bitter that make the malt backbone easy to see.
MugiWhat a spread! The range of styles is amazing. A pilsner and a bitter, with totally different personalities, all lined up together is great!
Hop BroAnd then there are Gangi Brewing New Chapter, TRADEMARK Brewing CODEBREAKER, and ISEKADO Another Cut, so I can't stop imagining side-by-side tastings.
MugiIf it ends with a Barrel Aged Ale too, my stomach is already growling... If you can savor something this carefully in Uji, I want to go right now!
Hop BroRight? It feels like a shop that chooses with an eye for the core of the flavor, and today makes me want to have a drink while checking out the malt aroma.
On March 23, the beer pub "Beer Tsukasa" (Urban Design Center, 22-2 Uji Myoraku, Uji City) in Uji, Kyoto, updated its post. Along with business information, the content made clear that what the shop values when choosing beer is not only the showiness of hops, but also the aroma and character that come from barley.
In the post text, it referred to the "Imperial Red Ale" from Oni Kaku TY, which had been tapped a little earlier, and praised how well the malt was used and how it harmonized with the hop character. It also mentioned "Mugi no Manimani", which had just been drained by a group of Germans, suggesting a strong interest in beers that clearly express barley character.
The lineup shown in the image includes a broad range of styles, such as `ISEKADO`'s `German Pilsner`, `Minoh Beer`'s `Bitter`, `Gangi Brewing`'s `New Chapter`, `TRADEMARK Brewing`'s `CODEBREAKER`, `ISEKADO`'s `Another Cut`, and `Firestone Walker`'s `Anniversary 29th Barrel Aged Ale`. Rather than pushing only flashy hop aroma, it is a setup to enjoy by comparing the depth of the malt and differences in drinkability.
"Beer Tsukasa" is a spot for people in Uji who want to take their time savoring beer character. The tone of the post also suggests that this is a shop that chooses beers by looking at the core of the flavor, not just by lining up unusual labels.
