Bar FUKURO taps four beers from TIELS Brewing, with a half TTO on June 5
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has added four new beers from TIELS Brewing of Mishima, Shizuoka. The lineup spans an American Pale Ale, a fruit-forward Saison, a hazy IPA made with local mikan, and a 9% Imperial Stout. A half tap takeover is also scheduled for June 5, from 6:00 p.m. to midnight.
Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata just tapped four TIELS beers. The range is so good it makes you thirsty just reading the list.
MugiWhat! Four new taps at once? From pale ale to stout? My emotions are already doing laps!
Hop BroFirst up, the American Pale Ale balances bright citrus hops with real malt flavor. The carbonation is a little softer too, so it doesn't just bulldoze you with aroma.
MugiWait, softer carbonation means less fizzy, right? That still feels exciting and not flat?
Hop BroIt does. When the bubbles step back a bit, malt and hops show their shape more clearly. It's like lowering the background music so you can hear the band better.
MugiOooh! Then what's Harumi Saison like? The name already sounds like a citrus pop star!
Hop BroThat one uses harumi citrus from Dekopon and Kiyomi orange, and it layers in saison yeast character with wheat malt. Fresh, but not thin.
MugiThere it is, the science word! What is saison yeast? Why do I suddenly feel like I need safety goggles?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's a fermentation personality that makes the aroma feel lively and the finish drier. Add soft harumi citrus on top, and you get fruitiness with depth.
MugiOkay, then Tekika Jutaro Hazy IPA must be full-on mikan mode, right? The kind that's dangerously easy to drink? And then an Imperial Stout shows up at the end too?
Hop BroVery dangerous. The early-picked Jutaro mikan brings bright young acidity, and the Imperial Stout hits 9% with deep roast and Maris Otter richness. Plus on June 5 there's a half TTO night from 18:00 to 24:00, so you can chase TIELS properly.
MugiThat settles it. Start with pale ale, bounce into mikan haze, then land on stout for the finish. This Kamata beer run sounds way too drinkable to ignore!
Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has put four new TIELS Brewing beers on tap. The brewery is based in Mishima, Shizuoka, and the post introduces the lineup under the heading "New Tap Beer!!".
The four beers are:
- American Pale Ale
- Harumi Saison
- Tekika Jutaro Hazy IPA
- Imperial Stout
The American Pale Ale focuses on bright citrus-hop aroma and a balanced malt backbone. The carbonation is kept on the softer side, so the hop character and malt flavor can be picked up gradually as you drink.
Harumi Saison is a fruit saison made with Harumi, a citrus variety born from Dekopon and Kiyomi orange. Its soft, orange-like aroma is paired with wheat malt and saison yeast, making it a refreshing beer with some depth.
Tekika Jutaro Hazy IPA uses Numazu's local Jutaro mikan in generous amounts. It brings together the fresh, early-picked citrus character with hop harmony, giving the beer a vivid fruit expression.
Imperial Stout is the dark, slow-sipping option in the set. It highlights roasted malt character, layered malt sweetness, and a floral finish, with the kind of depth that rewards a more relaxed pace.
Bar FUKURO continues to serve as an approachable craft-beer stop in Kamata, where tap changes are part of the appeal. On June 5, the bar is also scheduled to host a half tap takeover, "fumika birthday half TTO w/ TIELS Brewing," from 6:00 p.m. to midnight in its usual service style. The post also notes a Black Tide Brewing TTO planned for June 19 and 20, suggesting more tap changes are on the way.
