KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer: 18 Beers on Tap on April 29
At the standing beer pub "KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer" in the underground mall directly connected to Kawasaki Station, the tap list for April 29 was released. From Tokaido BEER's staples to guest beers from Kita Alps Brewery and Kyoto Brewing, 18 varieties are lined up.
Hop BroToday’s tap info is from the standing beer spot directly connected to Kawasaki Station, KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand. As of April 29, it has an 18-beer lineup, and with Tokaido BEER's staples plus guest labels on top of that, there’s a lot to play with here.
MugiWait, 18 kinds!? If I drank that much in one place, I think even my memory would tap out!
Hop BroThe first thing to note is Kita Alps Brewery's Hazy IPA. It comes in at 6.5% ABV, and the key point is that it lets you enjoy a peach-like aroma for a long time while keeping the finish crisp and clean.
MugiHazy means the cloudy kind, right? So it looks fuzzy but drinks refreshing? That feels like a beer with a split personality, which is kind of funny!
Hop BroExactly. The cloudiness comes from hops, yeast, and barley components remaining in the beer. That tends to make the aroma fuller, and this Hazy IPA adds a refreshing finish on top of that, so it balances fruity sweetness with a light aftertaste.
MugiI see, then I want to check out the house beers too! Black Rikan and UTAMARO ALE sound less like drinks and more like literary works!
Hop BroThat’s one of the fun parts: they’ve got everything from IPA to stout. For example, "1623" is an IPA, "Black Rikan" is a Porter, "Usubeni no Koukai" is an Amber Ale, "Mugi no Deai" is a Belgian Wheat, and "Kuro ni Ukabu" is a Coffee Stout, so the flavor direction is really varied.
MugiHold on, this is a flavor world tour! If there are fruit beers and coffee beers too, my stomach is basically going to start a committee meeting!
Hop BroThe guest beers are strong too. You’ve got Kyoto Brewing's "Ichigo Ichie," TKBREWING's "#442 Hop Randezvous," REPUBREW's "Sake no Hitoshizuku, Chi no Hitoshizuku," and even Yellow Monkey Brewing and Yokohama Beer, so each glass feels like a trip to a different region.
MugiWait, outside food is allowed too!? If I can bring snacks I bought nearby, I can make my own strongest-ever pairing!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a really easy place to use for a drink in Kawasaki Azalea. You can stop by before or after shopping, or between meetups, and the strength of the place is that you can casually compare different beers.
MugiI’ve decided: I’m starting with the Hazy IPA! After that, if I chase the house beers and the guest beers too, today in Kawasaki might just become a happy little beer crawl!
