CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI taps Hoppu Kotan Brewing's 'Akaki wa Sake no To'
CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, a beer pub in Funabashi, has tapped Hoppu Kotan Brewing's Akaki wa Sake no To (Kamifuranian Rotbier). The beer is described as a red-amber Rotbier with malty aroma, gentle bitterness, and an easy-drinking profile that pairs well with pizza and fresh pasta.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap worth talking about in Funabashi: CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI just tapped Akaki wa Sake no Toga from Hoppukotan Brewery.
MugiWait, that name is intense! What kind of sin is this beer accusing me of before I even take a sip?
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but the beer is elegant. It’s a Kamifuranian Rotbier, a German-style red-copper beer with a really beautiful color.
MugiWhat is Rotbier? That sounds like I need to level up academically before I can order it!
Hop BroIt sounds fancy, but basically it’s a malt-forward red beer. Instead of loud hops, you get to enjoy toasty aroma and soft depth.
MugiHold on, what is malt? You dropped that like it was common knowledge and now I feel quizzed!
Hop BroIt’s grain that’s been germinated and dried, and it builds the beer’s aroma and sweetness. This one has gentle bitterness with a lighter body, so that toasty character really shows.
MugiOhh, so it’s a red beer that doesn’t make you brace for impact. And if it works with pizza and fresh pasta, my stomach is already cheering!
Hop BroExactly. CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI can have 10+ taps at once, so it’s the kind of place where pairing beer with food is easy and fun.
MugiAnd you can watch the pour itself from the counter in that bright space, right? That means the show starts before the first sip!
Hop BroRight, it’s not flashy, but it sticks with you, which makes it perfect for Funabashi. I’m already craving that first toasty sip.
MugiThen it’s settled! Tonight I want one glass of Akaki wa Sake no Toga with a slice of pizza in my hand.
