Restaurant BSB, the brewpub attached to Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery in Bifuka, Hokkaido, shared its current five-beer tap list. The lineup includes Wild Sheep Chase, BIFUKA LAGAR, Albireo, Rising Sun, and Yoru Asobi, with tasting sets and food pairings available.
Hop BroToday's story is Restaurant BSB in Bifuka, Hokkaido. You can drink Bifuka Shirakaba Brewery beers inside a 90-year-old red brick warehouse.
MugiWhat! A red brick warehouse for craft beer? That already sounds delicious before the first sip. So what are the five taps?
Hop BroThey've got Wild Sheep Chase, plus BIFUKA LAGAR with lemony hops, the collab beer Albireo with Shimokawa Mori no Brewery, the golden and bright Rising Sun, and the dark beer Yoru Asobi. It's a total brewpub showcase.
MugiHold on, brewpub? What is that? It sounds like a giant robot made by combining a brewery and a pub!
Hop BroHonestly, not far off. It means a brewery with a pub, so the place can serve its own beer with food right there. That's the charm of Restaurant BSB.
MugiOkay, then oats and lactose in Yoru Asobi means... a dark beer that turns into dessert?
Hop BroExactly. That gives it a silky dark beer texture. And BIFUKA LAGAR doesn't use lemon juice, it uses hops that smell lemony and keep the finish crisp.
MugiNo way, lemony hops sound like wizard herbs. And with Albireo in the mix, a tasting flight would totally show off each beer's personality!
Hop BroAnd they offer 3- or 4-beer flights, plus a 250ml half and a 420ml pint. Pair them with jingisukan or sturgeon fish and chips, and each beer stands out even more.
MugiI'm sold. Start me with the tasting flight, then give me a full pint of my favorite at the end!
Hop BroThat's the right move. Once you're drinking through all five taps with that birch-sap sense of place, you'll probably be planning your next glass before you leave.
