Want a Beer lines up six draft beers for June 10
Want a Beer in Utsunomiya’s Motomiyazumi district posted its June 10 service hours, 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with last order at 9:30 p.m., along with a six-beer tap list. The lineup includes a Hoppokotan x BLACK TIDE BREWING collaboration, plus beers from Nara Brewing, Keika Brewing, and Want a Beer’s own collabs.
Hop BroWant a Beer is the topic today, and this six-tap lineup is seriously strong. On June 10 they are open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and they have a Hoppukotan Brewing x BLACK TIDE BREWING collab pouring too.
MugiWhoa! Hoppukotan x BTB already looks overpowered just from the name! A lineup like that in Utsunomiya is basically an after-work tractor beam.
Hop BroAnd leading things off is ONE LAP BEHIND, a yuzu saison. At 6.0% ABV it still sounds bright and lifted, which is a great way to open a collab tap list.
MugiOkay, but what is a saison? The name sounds classy, and I still cannot picture the flavor at all!
Hop BroA saison usually drinks light and spicy, and adding yuzu should make it even fresher. That gives you a very different kind of citrus expression from Nara Brewing's LOCOMOTION, which is an American IPA.
MugiWhat is that, light and spicy and somehow already competent? So Keika Brewing's Unite, the Hazy Pale Ale w/Apple, is even more of a fog-machine situation?
Hop BroExactly, because hazy means cloudy. Unite should bring apple nuance, Hotarubi is an easygoing pale ale, Fresh!!! is a fruits sour ale, and SPECIALS is a Belgian white, so all six taps have clearly different jobs.
MugiI love that the aroma directions really split apart! With both a sour and a Belgian white, even a friend group with totally different tastes can survive the night.
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too: sea bream carpaccio, fritters, corn peperoncino, pizza, even porchetta. They also do natural wine by the glass, and honestly I'd start with ONE LAP BEHIND and immediately turn it into a tasting run.
MugiAt this point it's basically tasting flight locked! If reservations are on LINE and it's pet-friendly too, I can already picture dropping by after a walk and going all in at Want a Beer.
