Guest beers from West Coast Brewing, VERTERE, and Totopia Brewery arrive at UNDERGROUND Akabane
At UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane, West Coast Brewing's "The Gateway", "The Gateway: Eternal", "Project: NZ04", and "The Lupulin Tree", VERTERE's "Collectiophobia", and Totopia Brewery's "Diffusiophilia" have arrived. A VERTERE TTO is also planned from May 22 to 24.
Hop BroUNDERGROUND in Akabane has a huge wave of guest beers right now. West Coast Brewing, VERTERE, and Totopia Brewery are all lined up at once, which is a pretty hot development for beer fans.
MugiWhoa! Three breweries all at once? My brain can't even keep up! That's the kind of good problem where you don't know what to drink first.
Hop BroThe first thing to watch is West Coast Brewing's Gateway series. They have "The Gateway", "The Gateway: Eternal", "Project: NZ04", and "The Lupulin Tree" on deck, and just seeing those names is enough to make IPA fans perk up.
MugiWhat is that? Project: NZ04 sounds like something from a lab. I thought beer names were usually a little more dreamy!
Hop BroThat impression isn't too far off. Names that sound like codes often suggest a focus on exploring hop character. Especially with NZ hops, you can get tropical notes or even white grape-like aromas, which makes it fun.
MugiOhhh! So "The Gateway: Eternal" is a can-only release, right? If I can compare the keg and the can, I might feel a little more like a beer insider!
Hop BroExactly, and it sounds like the keg-only original is also going to be tapped at a good time, so there's something fun about following the same family of beers. Study the can first, then check your answer with the tap pour. That's the best kind of flow.
MugiWait, hold on! What does VERTERE TTO mean? It sounds like a spell, and I feel like I'm being left behind!
Hop BroTTO stands for tap takeover. VERTERE is scheduled to take over the taps from May 22 to 24, so the idea is that the brewery basically dominates the bar's taps for that period.
MugiGot it! Then VERTERE's Collectiophobia and Totopia Brewery's Diffusiophilia are both must-checks too. Even the names are full of attitude, and I feel like one sip would pull me even deeper into the rabbit hole!
Hop BroAnd since UNDERGROUND has 12 or more taps plus over 100 bottles, it's an excellent place for comparisons. It's within walking distance of Akabane Station, and the relaxed interior makes it a great spot for a slow drinking night.
MugiAnd they even have craft gyoza? That's almost unfair. If I can drink beer, snack on gyoza, and even take bottles home if I like them, I might never want to leave!
Hop BroExactly. Tonight is officially a beer comparison night. Whether you start with West Coast Brewing, wait for VERTERE's TTO, or just do both, I'm already getting thirsty just thinking about it.
MugiYeah, this is the kind of night that goes beyond just one drink in Akabane! I'll start with cans to do my homework, and then I want to toast with gyoza at the end!
At UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane, guest beers from multiple breweries have lined up. The post announces West Coast Brewing's "The Gateway", "The Gateway: Eternal", "Project: NZ04", and "The Lupulin Tree", as well as VERTERE's "Collectiophobia" and Totopia Brewery's "Diffusiophilia".
Guest Beers Arrived
- West Coast Brewing "The Gateway"
- West Coast Brewing "The Gateway: Eternal"
- West Coast Brewing "Project: NZ04"
- West Coast Brewing "The Lupulin Tree"
- VERTERE "Collectiophobia"
- Totopia Brewery "Diffusiophilia"
In this post, in addition to West Coast Brewing's "Gateway" series, the can-only "The Gateway: Eternal" is also introduced. The barrel-only original of "The Gateway" is also expected to be opened at a good time, so it looks like you can enjoy following the same lineup both on tap and in cans. VERTERE's barrels will be connected during this TTO period, and Totopia Brewery is scheduled to come on tap the following week. The flow is to compare the cans first, then wait for the tap pour.
The shop is a beer pub within walking distance of Akabane Station, and its strengths are more than 12 taps and over 100 bottles. The interior has a calm atmosphere, making it easy to visit for just one drink or for a night of careful comparisons. It also offers bottle takeout, so you can bring home a bottle you liked at the shop and enjoy it later.
On the food side, craft gyoza are the signature item. They are easy to pair with beer, making them a great match for tasting the guest beers side by side. A moment like this, with multiple breweries lined up, makes it easy to see the shop's stock depth and how quickly it updates, making it a place beer lovers will want to keep an eye on.
