Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka Mitsuke Announces Seven New Taps for July 4
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka Mitsuke will open at 12:00 on Saturday, July 4, with seven new beers on tap, including releases from Bighand Bros. Beer and Ise Kadoya Beer. The lineup spans lager, stout, bitter, and DDH hazy IPA styles.
Hop BroDown in Akasaka Gessekai Building B1F, Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke is opening at noon on July 4 with seven fresh taps all at once.
MugiWait, seven at once!? If lagers and IPAs show up together, my first-pint decision is turning into a committee meeting!
Hop BroRight out of the gate, Bighand Bros. Beer's Mimetite is a British Lager, and Ichijoji Brewery's Terroir KYOTO Kuro Mame Lager brings toasty black-soybean notes on top of that crisp base.
MugiWhoa, that's basically snack-time energy in a glass. A lager that sounds like it wants edamame's seat at the table!
Hop BroThen FLORA FERMENTATION's Waldschrat is a Schwarz Weizen, and 52's Brewingexploration Kyoto Saiin's Nuregarasu is a Dry Stout, so you can roll straight into a roast-heavy one-two punch.
MugiHold on, Schwarz Weizen means dark wheat beer, right? Because the name sounds like a boss battle.
Hop BroExactly. Think soft wheat character plus the toasty edge of a dark beer, so it drinks dark but surprisingly light.
MugiOkay, then Oni Densetsu's Akkiyama Bitter III and Black Tide Brewing's #494 Six ESB are the malty detour part of the trip?
Hop BroThat's it. English Bitter and ESB are great when you want hops to step back and let full-on malt character do the talking.
MugiAnd then Isekadoya Beer drops Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet as a DDH Hazy IPA... what even is DDH!? Is that a cat rank or a hop supervillain?
Hop BroDDH means Double Dry Hopped: extra hops added in two rounds after fermentation to blow the aroma wide open. Save that for the end and it's an aroma rocket launch.
MugiYeah, that's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. We're both in Akasaka tasting mode now, and I want the full run from British Lager to DDH Hazy IPA.
Seven new taps for July 4
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka Mitsuke is a beer pub located on the B1F of Akasaka Getsusekai Building in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
