Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima adds new taps from KaruizawaQ and Y.MARKET
Evolve Beer&Kitchen, a beer pub in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, posted its July 14 tap list with two new additions. KaruizawaQ's `Glück` and Y.MARKET BREWING's `Masterpiec exceed` join a lineup that spans Minoh Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Sapporo.
Hop BroMukojima is looking very dangerous today, in the best way. Evolve Beer&Kitchen just dropped its July 14 tap list, and there are two fresh taps from KaruizawaQ and Y.MARKET BREWING.
MugiWhat! I need details immediately! What are the new beers, and are they really total opposites in style?
Hop BroThat is exactly the fun part. KaruizawaQ's Gluck is a Dortmunder, while Y.MARKET BREWING's Masterpiec exceed is a Hazy IPA. One leans clean and balanced, the other is juicy and aromatic, so the comparison basically builds itself.
MugiOkay but hold on, what even is Dortmunder? It sounds less like beer and more like a finishing move.
Hop BroSimple version: Dortmunder is a lager with malt-forward balance. Not too bitter, not too light, and it still has body. A Hazy IPA, on the other hand, throws out big aroma and can feel almost juice-like.
MugiOhh, so one is calm and steady, and the other is loud and flashy! And Minoh Beer's Coffee IPA is marked almost gone already? That is a panic button beer.
Hop BroExactly. The whole list is stacked too: Minoh Beer's Highkara Pils and Coffee IPA, Y.MARKET's THE PIONEERS, Dual Pepper Gyoza Sour, Jun Nama Alt, Bakushu no Ohsho, Hysteric IPA, and more. The style range is huge.
MugiThat lineup is absurdly deep! And there's Shiga Kogen Beer's House IPA in a nitro version too? What is nitro ver. exactly, beer whipped into a cloud?
Hop BroHonestly, not a bad guess. Nitro means it is poured with nitrogen, which gives it a creamy foam texture. Then add horse mackerel tataki with lots of herbs, mixed namul, corn tempura with snow salt, and chilled sudachi soba, and the food side is just as strong.
MugiThat is unfairly good. I want to start with Gluck, move to Masterpiec exceed, and do a full side-by-side tasting, with the corn tempura parked right next to me.
Hop BroThat route makes perfect sense. If any Coffee IPA is left, I want to wedge that in too, then maybe land softly with Sapporo Black Label. At this point it's straight to Mukojima, because now I absolutely need a pint.
Tap list for July 14
Evolve Beer&Kitchen, a beer pub in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, posted its July 14 tap list with two fresh additions. KaruizawaQ's `Glück` comes in as a Dortmunder, while Y.MARKET BREWING's `Masterpiec exceed` is a hazy IPA. The contrast makes the lineup easy to approach if you want to compare different malt and hop expressions in one visit.
The rest of the board leans into variety. Minoh Beer has `Haikara Pils` (Italian Pilsner) and `Coffee IPA` on tap, with the latter marked as almost gone. Y.MARKET BREWING also supplies `THE PIONEERS` (Yuzu Pale Ale), `Dual Pepper Gyoza Sour` (Sour Ale w/ Spice), `Junsei Alt` (Dusseldorf Altbier), `Bakushu no Osho` (Red Session IPA), and `Hysteric IPA` (American IPA). The list also includes Shiga Kogen Beer's `House IPA - Nitro ver.-` (Imperial IPA) and Sapporo's `Black Label` (Lager).
Food on the day matched the summer heat: herb-heavy horse mackerel tataki, mixed namul, corn tempura with snow salt, and chilled sudachi soba. With spice dishes, curry, and desserts also on offer, the pub gives drinkers plenty of ways to build a meal around the beer.
