Six taps on at Umegaoka's 'Neko no Shūkaijo', including Shiga Kogen HOUSE LAGER
The craft beer and spice food spot Neko no Shūkaijo in Umegaoka has released today's tap list. Six beers are lined up, including Shiga Kogen's HOUSE LAGER, MINOH's 'Saruyama Shikao,' and NOMCRAFT's 'Mistic Tiger,' with cans and bottles also available to enjoy inside the shop.
Hop BroUmegaoka's six taps open is pretty bold. Having Shiga Kogen's HOUSE LAGER on the lineup at Neko no Shūkaijo is the kind of setup that means they're coming in to get you drinking from the start.
MugiWhat! The name Neko no Shūkaijo is already intriguing, and they even have Shiga Kogen's HOUSE LAGER? That's too much information for my brain to keep up with!
Hop BroAnd the beer itself is good too. HOUSE LAGER has the crisp snap you want from a lager, so it's perfect for the first pour. It's not too heavy, but it still keeps you honest, which is exactly what you'd expect.
MugiI get lager, but isn't Hard Cider not even beer? Wait, a different genre sneaking in wearing a beer face is confusingly adorable!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: Green Neighbours' SOUR is one you enjoy for its apple-derived tartness. Because it goes down clean and refreshing, it pairs well with rich spice food too.
MugiI see! Then Saruyama Shikao has a name with huge impact too, but what does it taste like? I can't help picturing a monkey and a deer clinking glasses!
Hop BroMINOH's is a Sake Yeast Saison, a saison made with sake yeast. It tends to pick up a slight Japanese nuance in the aroma, and it's fun because it's crisp yet still has depth.
MugiWhat, even the yeast is Japanese-themed!? And with Mistic Tiger and Boxphobia in the lineup, it's a beer jungle just from the names alone!
Hop BroNOMCRAFT's Hazy IPA leans juicy, while TOTOPIA's West Coast DIPA is the kind with sharper bitterness and definition. On top of that, you can choose from three sizes, so being able to compare them in small pours is one of the shop's smartest features.
MugiAnd if you can drink cans and bottles in the shop and also take them home, being able to taste them side by side is the best thing ever! This is definitely one of those days when you settle in from 3 p.m. and keep drinking, because my throat is already starting to remember beer!
Hop BroThey also take reservations and private booking inquiries, so being a place where you can drink at a leisurely pace in Umegaoka is a strong point. All right, let's start with HOUSE LAGER and finish with Boxphobia.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want a drink right now! I want to snack on spice food and bring home lager, saison, and IPA all at once!
