Ant'n Bee Roppongi adds Black Hops and El Segundo to a 10-beer tap list
CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi updated its tap list on July 11. Two fresh pours from Black Hops and El Segundo joined a lineup that also includes cider, pilsner, stout, black IPA, and fruit sour options.
Hop BroToday's topic is the July 11 tap list: at CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, tucked in a Roppongi 5-chome basement, Black Hops and El Segundo just came on tap.
MugiWait, 10 draft taps? That's the kind of lineup where I get happily lost! Cider to dark beer, all in one basement pub?
Hop BroOne of the new pours is East Coast Haze, a hazy pale from Black Hops that's light on the palate but still properly juicy.
MugiHold on, hazy pale means what exactly? It sounds cloudy but easy-drinking, which feels like beer wizardry!
Hop BroBasically, it's softness from the haze. Yeast and proteins stay in suspension, so the mouthfeel gets fluffy and the bitterness feels rounder.
MugiOhhh! Then what about Mayberry IPA from El Segundo? That name sounds like a neat, sharp overachiever.
Hop BroThat's the fun contrast: it has classic IPA character. The hop aroma really pops, and the finish is crisp enough to work with food or as a first pint.
MugiAnd the rest of the taps have ridiculous range too! Pivo Pils, White Stout, Black IPA, fruit sour, even cider and sidra? My drinking order needs a spreadsheet!
Hop BroExactly, it's built for first pour to finale. You could open with Golden Axe cider, then bounce through Cloud Cuddles, Over the Line, Hellfire, and Pressure Drop depending on your mood.
MugiWhat is this, a basement beer field trip? I want to start with East Coast Haze and make my way to Mayberry IPA right now.
Hop BroThat's a strong plan. Tonight, Anton Bee Roppongi is the kind of lineup that makes both juicy-beer fans and crisp-IPA fans want to raise a glass.
