Kagurazaka's Craft Beer Server Land Announces Five Draft Beers for April 19
The beer pub Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, has released its draft lineup for Sunday, April 19. Five labels from Yatsugatake Touchdown, Ise Kadoya Beer, ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS, Oni Densetsu Jibeer, and Brewmaster are on the list, and it opens at noon.
Hop BroIn the basement of Kagurazaka, five draft beers for April 19 are all lined up at once. Craft Beer Server Land has 25 taps, and since it's open from 12 p.m. on Sunday, the temptation to start day drinking is way too strong.
MugiWhoa! Open from 12 p.m.? That's basically beer world right after waking up! And with five kinds, I feel like I'd pass out from happiness before I even choose!
Hop BroAnd this lineup is interesting too: Yatsugatake Touchdown's 'Torahachi Beer', Ise Kadoya Beer's 'West Coast Pilsner', and ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS' 'Makikaze IPA'.
MugiWhat! West Coast Pilsner has pilsner in the name, but is it hop-heavy? There's so much information just from the name that my head is turning into foam!
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it's a pilsner with a strong hop character. It uses a crisp, easy-drinking base and layers on citrusy aroma and bitterness, so it's nice in that 'light, but still makes a statement' kind of way.
MugiOhh! Then 'Makikaze IPA' and 'Shin Asahi Oni IPA' are basically a beer tasting showdown! It sounds like the IPAs each have totally different personalities, which is exciting!
Hop BroExactly. Oni Densetsu Jibeer's 'Shin Asahi Oni IPA' has a punchy name, and it really has the kind of power you'd expect from Oni Densetsu Jibeer. IPAs put hop aroma and bitterness front and center, so even within the same style it's fun to compare the shape of the flavor.
MugiWow, and they even have Blue Master's 'Kabosu & Honey'? Add a fruit-forward beer and it suddenly looks like a trendy cafe!
Hop BroThat name is almost unfair, isn't it? Having a distinctive beer like Kabosu & Honey means people who want bitterness and people who want aroma can all gather there, and it widens the food pairings too.
MugiSavoring beer and food at leisure in that calm underground space sounds incredible. Choosing a pint slowly in Kagurazaka really feels like an adult's reward.
Hop BroThen it's settled: for Sunday day drinking, we'll slip into Kagurazaka and either start with the pilsner styles or jump straight into an IPA. This is the kind of flow that makes both of us want to go out for drinks.
