And Beer Taps "Chardonnay Piquette 2024"; Fruit-Forward Beers Abound in Koenji
The Koenji brewpub And Beer announced in its business notice for Saturday, March 21 that it had tapped "Chardonnay Piquette 2024." It also recommended "Bailey A 2025" and "Fukumikan," and ran an all-day service with a lineup centered on fruit beers.
Hop BroAt And Beer in Koenji, they’ve finally tapped Chardonnay Piquette 2024. There’s already a story in the fact that they opened a bottle that had been aging.
MugiHuh! What is piquette? It sounds grape-like, but is it beer or wine? My head is already spinning!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s an idea that gives it grape-derived nuances, and adds a mead-like softness on top of that. So it’s not just sweetness; it gives you a feeling where depth and lightness coexist.
MugiI see, so it’s basically a beer with a grape-like aftertaste. It sounds so stylish that my drinking pace can’t keep up!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Bailey A 2025 and Fukumikan are also recommended today. Fruit-driven beers are the stars here, so it’s a really fun lineup for fruit beer fans.
MugiWow, fruit party! But if it’s not just the sweet-tart direction, does that mean there are other options too?
Hop BroThat’s the nice part: they also have the very tasty pale ale and a stout. It’s a lineup that covers people who want to go after hop aroma and people who want to finish with roastiness.
MugiWait, I thought it was all fruit beers, but their range is huge! If they’ve got both hop character and roast character, I could bring all my friends!
Hop BroAnd And Beer is open straight through from lunch and also does takeout. You can take it home in bottles or growlers, and the terrace seating is dog- and cat-friendly, which feels very Koenji.
MugiThat’s amazing! If they’ve got curry and biryani too, it feels like I could finish everything here, from the first drink to the meal. I want to warp to Koenji right now!
Hop BroExactly, starting with a fruit-forward first glass and then finishing with a pale ale or stout sounds perfect. At this point, the only option is to go drink there.
MugiYeah, I’m in the mood to toast in Koenji today! Chardonnay Piquette 2024 is definitely going to be delicious.
