Hop BroBEER OTAKU SPICE in Taito, Taito Ward, is having its 3rd anniversary service. And they're opening West Coast Brewing's Winter Wish as the guest beer too. That's such a cool, understated choice for an anniversary.
MugiWhat, no celebration cake for the anniversary, just Winter Wish!? Even the name already feels like a winter treat!
Hop BroAnd this isn't just any dark beer. It's a BA Imperial Stout. Aged 38 months in grain whiskey barrels, it's the kind of beer that makes you drink time itself.
MugiBA, what's that! Hearing barrel-aged makes it sound like the beer has just been napping inside a cask forever!
Hop BroExactly. BA is short for barrel aged, and it adds barrel aroma and whiskey-like depth. Winter Wish has that depth from the barrel in a big way, and it plays really well with the rich malt.
MugiWhoa, and cranberry, ginger, and all that too? That's way too much winter spice! It's basically a cinnamon roll committee in beer form!
Hop BroThat's the kind of playfulness West Coast Brewing does so well. The spice aromas really pop, so when you pair it with BEER OTAKU SPICE's food, it transforms completely.
MugiThe restaurant's biryani is chicken and tuna, so there's already a lot going on, and then they bring in an ideal pairing stout too? That's way too luxurious!
Hop BroLunch starts at 11:30 and they're open until 23:00 at night, so the fact that you can enjoy it both day and night is a big strength. They even have mazesoba, and you can feel how serious they are about the anniversary service.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me hungry! I want to slowly drink a deep, robust pour with spicy food!
Hop BroExactly. Today, the right move is to make some winter treat time at BEER OTAKU SPICE and really savor Winter Wish. Now I want to go right away too.
