KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer Announces 18-Tap Lineup
At KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer on April 25, an 18-beer lineup was announced as of 6:55 p.m. In addition to Tokaido BEER's regulars, the selection brought together a wide range of flavors in Kawasaki, including TKBREWING's "Hop Randezvous" and three Yellow Monkey Brewing labels.
Hop BroThis 18-tap lineup I found in Azalea in Kawasaki is what KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer had as of 6:55 p.m. on April 25.
MugiWhat! Eighteen kinds and you can still grab a quick drink in the station underground? That sounds like I’d get lost deciding before I even order!
Hop BroThat’s where it stands out. On top of Tokaido BEER's regulars, it has a wide range of flavors in Kawasaki. It's great that you can drop by for just one drink after shopping or after work.
MugiOhh, and outside food is okay too. So my potato chips can join the party?
Hop BroOf course, pairing matters. From Tokaido BEER, there were regulars like 1623 and Black Release, plus Light Red Excuse, Meeting of the Barley, Guava, Tama Peacock, Floating in Black, and UTAMARO ALE.
MugiWait, wait, Black Release already sounds sleepy just from the name. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe name is a little suspicious, but the beer itself is solid. For example, think of it as a glass that lets you enjoy the contrast between the impression it gives and the way it drinks, with a sense of dark depth.
MugiI get it! Then I’m curious about the guest taps too. Hop Randezvous alone makes me want to toast!
Hop BroThe guests were impressive too: Hazy IPA from North Alps Brewery, Once in a Lifetime from Kyoto Brewing, Hop Randezvous from TKBREWING, and Pilsner from Tazawako Brewery. On top of that, Yellow Monkey Brewing had three fruit beers, and there was even SuperSonicSpeedSour from Yokohama Beer.
MugiWow, the fruit-beer selection is strong too! Posumitsu Lemon and Hana Yuzu and all those names alone make me want another round...
Hop BroExactly. It was a day when the strength of always having 18 taps really showed through. Easy to drink in Kawasaki, but with plenty of fun choices.
MugiThen this is definitely a place for your first drink in Kawasaki! After work, I’ll go for something fruity, and Hop-bro can go for something more niche!
Lineup as of 6:55 p.m.
In a post on April 25, the shop announced a total of 18 taps as of 6:55 p.m. As a standing bar in the underground Azalea shopping arcade at Kawasaki Station, it is set up so customers can stop by after shopping or work and enjoy a drink from just one glass.
