Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN taps Daylight and Awesome! Pale Ale on July 4
Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN in Nagoya opened at 11:30 on July 4 and announced two guest beers: Daylight from Wuchawtengbrew and Awesome! Pale Ale from Matsumoto Brewery. The beer pub paired the lineup with burgers and food-friendly drinking from lunchtime.
Hop BroToday's topic is GRILLMAN's lunchtime taps. At Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN in Nagoya's Nishiki, Uchoten Brewing's "Daylight" and Matsumoto Brewery's "Awesome! Pale Ale" were tapped as guest beers from 11:30 on July 4.
MugiWhat! Beer and burgers at lunch sounds like a championship-level day off. And there are two guest taps? How am I supposed to choose?
Hop BroFirst up, Uchoten Brewing's Daylight sounds perfect for that first glass of the day. Light on its feet, easy to start with, and unlikely to stomp all over your meal.
MugiWhoa, so a first-pint beer is an actual thing? Beers have opening-batter roles now?
Hop BroAbsolutely. People call that a food-friendly beer. It means the beer doesn't fight the meal, and both the food and the drink keep getting better sip by sip.
MugiNo way, that's the reliable sidekick of a drinking session. It doesn't steal the spotlight, but suddenly it's gone and you want another.
Hop BroThen there's Awesome! Pale Ale from Matsumoto Brewery. Since it's a classic pale ale, you can expect easy drinkability, with gentle malt sweetness and a hop character that should work great with burgers and grilled food.
MugiHold on, the shape of the hops? Did this beer just turn into an art class sketch?
Hop BroBasically, it's a clearly defined aroma. Citrusy or fresh green notes come through without getting muddy, so they can stand up to savory meat.
MugiWow, a place between Fushimi and Marunouchi where you can start drinking at lunch is honestly dangerous information. The first Saturday of July didn't need to get this tempting.
Hop BroAnd GRILLMAN is built for pairing with food. They do cider and Japanese wine too, but with these two guest beers, I want to start with a beer and a burger.
MugiSold. I want a lunchtime beer crawl with Daylight first and Awesome! Pale Ale second. I'm thirsty just reading this!
