BeerMa Kitasenju taps three Kyoto Brewing guest beers, including "Six Days Off" and other new arrivals
At BeerMa Kitasenju, a beer pub in Kitasenju, Tokyo, three guest beers from Kyoto Brewing have just started pouring. From a session IPA to a wheat beer and an oatmeal stout, the lineup lets you enjoy several very different styles at once. Because tap capacity is limited, getting there early is the smart move.
Hop BroAt BeerMa Kitasenju in Kitasenju, three Kyoto Brewing guest beers have just opened up at once. Having a session IPA, a wheat beer, and a stout all on the board is seriously fun.
MugiWhoa! A single brewery with such a wide flavor range? That makes it sound extra worth comparing. My brain is already turning into a beer shelf!
Hop BroAnd the star of the show is first up Six Days Off. It’s a session IPA with tropical citrus notes layered with pine-resin character, so it stays light while the aroma really speaks up.
MugiPine resin? What is that, like the smell of a forest!? Now I’m nervous because it already sounds so aromatic before I even drink it!
Hop BroYeah, basically it means a resinous hop aroma. When you get not just bitterness but grapefruit and conifer-like notes, it really brings out that IPA character.
MugiOhh! So then Baijitsumuchu is totally a different vibe, right? A wheat beer with kuro-moji sounds way too stylish!
Hop BroExactly. What’s interesting is how it layers kuro-moji’s Japanese aroma over the foundation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer. In that soft mouthfeel, you should get a clean herbal lift.
MugiJapanese herbs too!? Then this isn’t some sweet beer after all. It feels more like a beer that plays with aroma. I bet it sparks conversation the moment you taste it!
Hop BroWrapping things up is Sharare Oatmeal Stout-hen. With caramel- and chocolate-like flavors, plus the smoothness you’d expect from oats, it’s the kind of beer made for the night.
MugiWow, it goes from light to dark all in one lineup. This is totally delicious in three directions! And if tap 1 is running low, I’m starting to really want to go today!
Hop BroExactly, now is the time to drink it while you can find it. Let’s swing by Kitasenju and enjoy Kyoto Brewing’s full range as it is.
MugiI’m in! My urge to compare beers is already out of control today, and one glass each for me and Hop Bro definitely won’t be enough!
