Craft Beer Market Kanda opens five new beers on 4/29, including Gangi Brewing
In a April 29 post, Craft Beer Market Kanda announced five new taps, including Gangi Brewing's "Homie Pils" and BLACK TIDE BREWING's "Gorilla Panic." OUR BREWING's Hazy IPA "Kickoff" also appeared, while the existing "Tamaya Radius" was said to be running low.
Hop BroThe five new taps in Kanda are moving in a really nice direction. On 4/29, Craft Beer Market Kanda rolled out everything from Gangi Brewing's "Homie Pils" to BLACK TIDE BREWING's "Gorilla Panic" all at once.
MugiWait, five additions at once!? Isn't the tap list going to be chaos if that many open up together?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. With Hoegaarden's "White," CRAFTROCK's "Ocean Avenue," OUR BREWING's "Kickoff," and BLACK TIDE BREWING's "Gorilla Panic," it's become a really varied lineup.
MugiHuh, wait, what exactly is a Hazy IPA? Is it the one that looks like it's wrapped in fog?
Hop BroThat's a pretty close description. A Hazy IPA is an IPA that pushes hop-driven aroma to the front while keeping the beer cloudy and the mouthfeel soft. This "Kickoff" is also introduced as having orange and pineapple aromas.
MugiWhoa, that's dangerous, like juice! And it even has a green, vegetal note on top of that, so it's not sweet only.
Hop BroExactly. When that comes with a smooth mouthfeel, it's easy to drink but never boring. It's the perfect balance of aroma and drinkability.
MugiWow, and the name "Gorilla Panic" is intense too! What else are they packing into a DDH Hazy IPA?
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hop, a method that adds more hops after fermentation to boost the aroma. So "Gorilla Panic" is interesting because it's packed with fruitiness while also carrying that dank nuance.
MugiI get it! And "Tamaya Radius" is running low, right? Then I have to hurry over!
Hop BroIt's easy to drop by from Kanda Station, and with about 30 beers on offer, today is definitely a great day for tasting side by side. I like that they've got everything from white beers to hazies.
MugiI've decided, I want a drink in Kanda! Hop bro, you go for "Kickoff" first, and I'll start with "Homie Pils"!
