Sakazuki Lab to Tap Fumino's Graduation Beer 《hangover!》 on March 26 for 'Fumi no Lab Last Day'
Sakazuki Lab in Adachi, Tokyo will hold a special business day on March 26 as "Fumi no Lab Last Day." It will open at 5:00 p.m., tap Fumino's graduation beer《hangover!》, and serve it with a sharp pour.
Hop BroMarch 26 is Sakazuki Lab's Last Day in Tokyo's Adachi Ward. They're planning to tap Fumino's graduation beer《hangover!》when they open at 5:00 p.m., and just the way that sounds makes you want a drink already, doesn't it?
MugiWait, a Last Day is that special? And there's even a graduation beer? It feels like a send-off party and a beer festival got combined!
Hop BroExactly.《hangover!》was born from an order for an IPA that's just plain bitter. The key is that it puts bitterness at the center and really makes the hops' heavy aroma stand out.
MugiHold on, what does heavy hop aroma even mean? You mean it smells really strong? Does it come at you like perfume?
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking, it means the aroma is thick. Think layers of citrus, grassy notes, and tropical character piled on top of each other, giving it the presence of an IPA you can smell before you even take a sip.
MugiWow! And on top of that, they're serving it with a sharp pour, right? Just changing the pouring style changes the taste? Beer is way deeper than I thought!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The creamy foam traps the carbonation and bitterness, so the flavor's edges stand out cleanly. Roughly speaking, it's bitter but still drinks smoothly.
MugiSo it's bitter but smooth? That's almost unfair! And Fumino is doing a one-day mama shift too? It's her final shift, but it feels way too event-like!
Hop BroExactly. What makes Sakazuki Lab feel like Sakazuki Lab is that it really turns the send-off toast into an occasion. And since it has everyday faces like the regular beers《shy daddy》《shy boy》and《nagi》, the warmth comes through even more.
MugiHonestly, the fact that they can make such a wonderful farewell feel like an extension of everyday life is amazing. On March 26, I kind of want to toast along with《hangover!》too!
Tokyo's Adachi Ward Sakazuki Lab is announcing a special day on Thursday, March 26, under the name “Fumi no Lab Last Day.” The bar will open at 5:00 p.m. and, as a send-off event for Fumino, whose final shift as a staff member at the bar ends that day, it will tap the graduation beer《hangover!》.
According to the post, the day will feature Fumino taking on what is being called her “first and last!?” “one-day mama shift at the Lab.” Turning the situation of being called in to the Lab because of a staffing shortage on its head, the event is being set up as a place to commemorate her final shift. In addition, the pour style chosen by Koba is “sharp pour.” The aim is to highlight the well-defined flavor of《hangover!》, a style that traps carbonation and bitterness in a creamy head.
《hangover!》 is a beer completed after being ordered as “an IPA that is just plain bitter” during the brewing of the graduation beer. The post describes it as featuring a crisp, clear flavor and the weighty aroma of hops, making it especially interesting to fans of IPAs built around strong bitterness.
Sakazuki Lab is a brewery/taproom in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, and its appeal lies in its locally rooted operation and in events that make you feel the ties between the staff and sister locations. In this post as well, while referencing the regular staff beers《shy daddy》《shy boy》and《nagi》, it conveys the atmosphere of creating a “send-off toast” as an extension of everyday service.
March 26 looks set to be a day to enjoy a glass that feels very much like Sakazuki Lab while tasting《hangover!》, the star of the last day.
