Little House's 'Busy Bee' is on tap at Ikebukuro's Two Fingers, ahead of the weekend TTO
At the beer pub Two Fingers in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Little House's Kölsch 'Busy Bee' is on tap. Brewed with strawberries, peaches, and honey, it's an easy-drinking, crisp, dry beer, offered ahead of the weekend tap takeover.
Hop BroThe Little House 'Busy Bee' that got an early tap at Ikebukuro's beer pub Two Fingers is interesting.
MugiWait, Busy Bee is a Kölsch!? That name makes it sound like a total workaholic!
Hop BroExactly. It's a crisp, dry Kölsch. Even though it uses strawberries, peaches, and honey, the trick is that it keeps things easy-drinking without getting cloying.
MugiHoney in it, but dry? Isn't that a total flavor meeting meltdown? How does that even happen!
Hop BroThat's where the brewer's skill shows up: if you bring out the fruitiness and aroma while fermenting the sugars out cleanly, the finish stays sharp. That's how you get that "fruit in there, but still light" gap.
MugiI see, it's the looks sweet, isn't sweet kind! And being able to check out a brewery making its Japan debut makes it feel kind of event-like too!
Hop BroAnd Two Fingers is strong on house beers too. With Highway to Helles and 'Garage,' plus collaborations with Tokyo Aleworks and NAMACHA, you can take a pretty solid beer trip without leaving the place.
MugiWait, not just domestic, but overseas too!? Fidens on tap too? The lineup is already like a festival venue!
Hop BroExactly. The ON TAP NOW lineup is stacked, and with domestic guests, imports, and backup beers all there, even thinking about the next pour while drinking Busy Bee is fun.
MugiI already really want to go! Before the weekend tap takeover, I want to do my homework with the current tap list, and I want to toast with Busy Bee too~!
At the beer pub Two Fingers in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Little House's Kölsch 'Busy Bee' was tapped ahead of schedule. In the post, it is introduced as a beer made with strawberries, peaches, and honey and finished to be "easy-drinking, crisp, and dry," making it a chance to check out a much-talked-about brewery making its Japan debut.
Looking at the `ON TAP NOW` lineup, Two Fingers' own house beers are also well stocked. In addition to the Helles 'Highway to Helles' and the APA 'Garage,' there are also 'Hop Gasoline' with Tokyo Aleworks and 'Witch's Smoothie' with NAMACHA. Among domestic guest beers, Oni Densetsu's 'Kinoni Pale Ale Comet' and WCB's 'Nemesis Nectar' are on tap, while the imports include Route + Branch's 'Propeller' and Fidens' 'Disconnected Realities.'
Backup beers also include Fidens' 'Alstroemeria,' 'Free From Doubt,' and 'QDH Jasper.' One of Two Fingers' strengths is that you can follow house beers, domestic breweries, and overseas breweries all in one place; as a beer pub in the RM Building in Nishi-Ikebukuro, it is an easy stop for comparison tastings. Ahead of the weekend tap takeover, it is worth checking the current tap list first to get a sense of the flavor direction.
