Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara Opens a Collaboration Tap with Yatsugatake Touchdown
In an April 4 Instagram post, Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara introduced the collaboration beer "102×69~Roggen Roll~" with Yatsugatake Touchdown and Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke. The lineup also includes new HINO Brewing cans, plus taps from Fifty Fifty Brewing and Jungle Juice.
Hop BroThe collaboration tap opening in Akihabara is seriously hot. Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has rolled out "102×69~Roggen Roll~" with Yatsugatake Touchdown and Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke.
MugiWhoa! "102×69~Roggen Roll~" sounds way too strong, even just as a name. It feels like a code name, and I'm already curious before even tasting it!
Hop BroWhat’s nice is that it has a rye-beer vibe. Roggen means rye, you know. It tends to bring out toasty, slightly spicy edges, and the collaboration's special feel comes through too.
MugiOhh! But the tap list is so luxurious that I'd already be lost just from that. What else is there?
Hop BroFirst, Yatsugatake Touchdown's "Cold Brew Coffee Lager" is the one that grabs you. Then there’s Fifty Fifty Brewing's "Eclipse 2024 -Garrison Brothers® Bourbon" and Jungle Juice's "Feel Your Monster," so you can have fun with a broad range of sweet, toasty, and bold picks.
MugiWait, a "Cold Brew Coffee Lager"!? Beer with coffee sounds like something you'd have with breakfast!
Hop BroIf you drank it in the morning, that'd be pretty free-spirited, but what's interesting is how the coffee character and lager character coexist. The lager's crisp finish carries the coffee aroma lightly, so it's often more drinkable than you'd expect.
MugiWhat is that! And there are new HINO Brewing cans too, right? Strong cans too means my wallet is in danger on the way home!
Hop BroThey're not cutting corners there either. "Baccarat Lager," "Kudari Stout," "Yare Yare Ale," and "Dont Yare IPA" are in, and growlers and plastic cups are welcome for takeout, so you can enjoy it in two stages: drink there and take some home.
MugiWhoa, takeout is welcome too? Being able to savor the afterglow at home is the best.
Hop BroAnd the post also noted that it will be closed on April 6, so checking the schedule is important if you're going. If you're aiming for the limited collaboration, the smart move is to look at both the taps and the cans.
MugiAll right, now I want a drink in Akihabara! I'm interested in both the taps and the cans, and today I want to plan things on the assumption that I'm already drinking!
April 4 Tap List
The beer pub Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara in Akihabara, Taito Ward, Tokyo announced the details of its collaboration event in an Instagram post on April 4. The post mentioned that Yatsugatake Touchdown brewmaster Tentsu-san would be visiting, and introduced plans to enjoy collaboration beer and food the following day. It also noted that the shop would be closed on April 6 due to participation in another event.
A Standout Pour
The first thing that stands out on this day's tap list is "102×69~Roggen Roll~," a collaboration among Yatsugatake Touchdown, Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke, and Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara. Also on tap are Yatsugatake Touchdown's "Cold Brew Coffee Lager," Fifty Fifty Brewing's "Eclipse 2024 -Garrison Brothers® Bourbon," and Jungle Juice's "Feel Your Monster," offering a wide-ranging lineup.
New Cans Too
The post also announced newly arrived canned beers from HINO Brewing. "Baccarat Lager," "Kudari Stout," "Yare Yare Ale," and "Dont Yare IPA" were introduced, showing that the regular beers have been refreshed for enjoyment in cans. The shop also welcomes growlers and plastic cups for takeout, so in addition to enjoying a slow drink in the store, there is also the option to buy it and enjoy it later.
The key point here is that the limited-edition feel of the collaboration and the chance to compare standard beers are both available at once. If you're looking for today's drink in Akihabara, this is something to check both on tap and in cans.
