PUB Karr, five beers on tap on April 5 including Kyoto Brewing's 'Worion'
PUB Karr opened at 3 p.m. on April 5, after the rain cleared and the weather turned pleasant. With Kyoto Brewing's 'Worion', Minoh's 'Honey Saison', and three other beers on tap, it became a lineup that offered the kind of beer comparison you'd expect from a Kyoto beer pub.
Hop BroToday's topic is the tap list at the beer pub PUB Karr in Haramachi-Rokkaku, Kyoto. On April 5, it opened at 3 p.m. after the rain cleared, making it one of those days when even the air tasted good.
MugiWhat, you can already start drinking at 3 p.m.? Just that clear, post-rain weather alone makes me want a drink!
Hop BroThe taps were three Kyoto Brewing beers, plus Minoh and Asahi, for a total of five. Having three Kyoto Brewing beers lined up is irresistible for anyone who loves side-by-side tasting.
MugiWow. But 'Worion,' 'Tsubutsumu,' and 'Shukyu 6-Nichi' already sound like they'd get you drunk just from the names! Aren't those quirky names a little too strong?
Hop BroThat's what makes Kyoto Brewing interesting. For example, 'Worion' gives off a crisp impression, and 'Tsubutsumu' and 'Shukyu 6-Nichi' are the kind of beers whose names alone make side-by-side tasting fun.
MugiSide-by-side tasting, huh? What's a saison anyway? When I hear the light, brisk feel of a saison, it sounds like a beer that runs, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroA saison is a style originally brewed for the off-season, so it's light, dry, and often has fermentation-derived aromas. Minoh's 'Honey Saison' is like layering honey notes on top of that.
MugiThat sounds delicious! And ending with Maruef for a sense of reassurance means you get both attack and comfort at the same time - that's the best!
Hop BroExactly. It's not just the individuality of craft beer; having a calm pint on hand is part of what makes PUB Karr feel right, and that's the strength of a beer pub - it wins you over with the atmosphere of the place and the tap list.
MugiDrinking in a place with records playing and breathing in Kyoto's air feels kind of grown-up! A beer while looking at the cherry blossoms suits it perfectly!
Hop BroYeah, this is the kind of place that makes you want to go. A flow of drinking Kyoto Brewing side by side and then finishing with Maruef is something I want to do right now.
MugiMe too! I'm already in the mood to toast at PUB Karr today!
