GUINNESS tapped at Vector Beer Omori, with 10 taps of domestic and imported staples
GUINNESS has been tapped at Vector Beer Omori. At the time of posting, the taps included all 10 beers, such as Triple Nama, VECTOR BREWING's IPA, Sankt Gallen's "Sakura," and Minoh Beer's "Sansho W-IPA," creating a lineup where you can enjoy a wide range of comparison tastings.
Hop BroToday it's about the GUINNESS tapping. At Vector Beer Omori in Omori, all 10 taps are lined up at once, so it's a pretty fun scene.
MugiWhoa, a 10-tap lineup is a lot, isn't it? And with GUINNESS too, stout lovers are going to get pulled right in!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is good. You've got Suntory's "Triple Nama," VECTOR BREWING's "Tom Cat Hazy IPA" and "Baka Umai HAZY," and even Sankt Gallen's "Sakura."
MugiWow, just the names alone are a lot to take in... Why are Hazy IPAs all so hazy? Are they trapping fog or something?
Hop BroGood catch. A Hazy IPA is characterized by its cloudy appearance; it brings hop aroma to the front while keeping bitterness softer, and it tends to have a more juice-like character.
MugiOhhh! So Japanese-ingredient styles like Minoh Beer's Sansho W-IPA are also the kind that play around with aroma? That sounds tasty, and dangerous!
Hop BroExactly. There are also Arinomi Brewery's "Hoji-cha Ale" and "Blitz Ale," Pilsner Urquell, and Baird Brewing's "Public House Bitter," so the range of flavors is huge.
MugiHaving everything from lager to bitter all in one place is basically a beer expo! And even on a rainy day during farewell-party season, being able to choose from the taps freely is absurdly strong!
Hop BroThe location is great too. It's a 3-minute walk from Omori Station, with 10 taps always on, plus 5 house-brewed taps, so even if you just drop in casually, a comparison tasting is easy.
MugiAnd if they have rotisserie chicken, shungiku salad, and shellfish steamed in craft beer, then this is basically a total rabbit hole... I'm in the mood to finish with chicken today!
Hop BroRight? Glasses from 600 yen and pints from 1,000 yen make it easy to get in, and it's just right for having a drink while chasing GUINNESS and 10 staple beers.
MugiAll right, today I want to do a tasting in Omori! If they have stout, IPA, and Japanese ingredients all together, we might end up staying long at the first stop rather than heading to a second one!
At Vector Beer Omori, the tapping of GUINNESS was announced. The post also noted, "It's raining," and said that the venue was at the peak of farewell-party season, with one table and counter seat available that day.
That day's tap list was made up of 10 beers. Suntory's "Triple Nama," VECTOR BREWING's "Tom Cat Hazy IPA" and "Baka Umai HAZY," Sankt Gallen's "Sakura," Arinomi Brewery's "Hoji-cha Ale" and "Blitz Ale," Minoh Beer's "Sansho W-IPA," Pilsner Urquell, Baird Brewing's "Public House Bitter," and GUINNESS. From classic lagers to aromatic Hazy IPAs, beers brewed with Japanese ingredients, and dark beer, the appeal is that styles with very different directions are all lined up at once.
The shop is a three-minute walk from Omori Station. Its official site promotes a constant lineup of 10 craft beers on tap, with 5 of them being house-brewed beers. Seating capacity is 30, including 6 counter seats, 12 table seats, and 14 semi-private table seats. It's a scale that works whether you're stopping by for just one drink after work or settling in with a few people for a proper tasting.
The food highlight is rotisserie chicken blended with 20 kinds of spices. There are also dishes that pair easily with beer, such as shungiku salad and shellfish steamed in craft beer. The price range is straightforward too, with glasses from 600 yen and pints from 1,000 yen, making it easy to build a flow of a light first drink, then a tasting round, and finally ending with the chicken.
With GUINNESS tapped, stout fans have one more reason to drop in. Being able to follow domestic breweries' individuality and imported classics from the same counter is a strength that really shows the beer-pub character of the place. It's a spot worth remembering on days when you want to enjoy changing taps in Omori.
