Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke Branch: Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN TTO on 4/5
Starting at 5:00 p.m. on April 5, a tap takeover of Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN kicked off at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke. At the beer pub in Akasaka 3-chome, a diverse lineup including collaboration beers was on display.
Hop BroAt 5:00 p.m. on April 5, the Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN TTO started at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke. Being able to compare beers in the basement of Akasaka already sounds amazing just from the atmosphere.
MugiWait, does tap takeover connect that many things!? I've heard the name before, but I'm still kind of fuzzy on what actually happens at the event!
Hop BroSimply put, it's kind of like a spotlight on one brewery. This time, the lineup was built around Yatsugatake Brewery's beers, so you could enjoy a bunch of different styles all at once.
MugiOhhh! And the poster said 3-company collaboration, right? It already sounds like a beer-world cultural festival, so fun!
Hop BroExactly, the one to watch is the collaboration Roggen Roll / Rye Helles. It has the toasty character of rye and the lightness of a Helles, so even though it has that malty presence, it should go down really smoothly.
MugiRye Helles, what even is that? When you say malty presence, it suddenly sounds like a textbook! But that doesn't mean it's heavy, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it still keeps that light drinking finish. So it has the toasty notes, but it's the kind of beer that makes you reach for the next glass.
MugiThe lineup is amazing too! Having everything from Pilsner to Cold IPA means even the lager side alone is pretty broad. I'm so busy trying to decide where to start!
Hop BroAnd what's great is that it includes Smoked Helles and India Pale Lager too. From smoke, dark, wheat, to IPA styles, you can follow the whole range, so it's like walking through a map of flavors.
MugiBeing able to do a tasting like that in the basement of Akasaka-Mitsuke, and being able to stop by after work, is just too good! Now I want to make beer plans for tonight!
Hop BroRight? It was the kind of lineup that makes you wonder about the next pour, and with a TTO like this, the fun is in following each beer's character one by one. Reading this makes you want to go drinking together, doesn't it?
MugiYeah, totally! As I compare the character of Yatsugatake, I'm already in the mood to start with the lagers today!
At Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, which opened at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 5, a Tap Take Over centered on Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN was held. The shop is a beer pub in Akasaka 3-chome, Tokyo, located in the basement of the Akasaka Getsusekai Building, and is the kind of city-center spot that's easy to drop into after work.
In the caption of the Instagram post, the venue thanked the visitors who came to the TTO and also expressed gratitude to Yatsugatake Brewery, the brewery behind it. The poster read "3-Company Collaboration Tap Take Over," and at the venue the lineup included the collaboration beer Roggen Roll / Rye Helles, along with beers that showed the distinctive character of the Touchdown lineup.
The lineup on display ranged widely from Pilsner, Lager, Weizen, Dunkel, Japanese Pilsner, Smoked Helles, and India Pale Lager to Cold IPA, making it possible to enjoy a full range of flavors from lagers and Helles styles to wheat, dark, and IPA-style beers. The collaboration beer was Rye Helles, a beer that looked like it would let you enjoy both a rich malt presence and a light drinking finish.
One of the highlights of the day was being able to compare multiple styles in the calm underground space in Akasaka-Mitsuke. As befits a tap takeover, the event brought to the forefront the fun of working through beers one by one, each with a different personality.
