vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR Taps Inkhorn Brewing’s Woodpecker and Ushitora Brewery’s Aragoshi Mango
vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, has announced two new tap openings: Inkhorn Brewing’s Woodpecker and Ushitora Brewery’s Aragoshi Mango. The lineup spans bright citrus and resinous hop character, as well as a juicy mango-forward wheat beer aroma.
Hop Brovivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro has tapped two distinct new beers: Inkhorn Brewing’s “Woodpecker” and Ushitora Brewery’s “Aragoshi Mango.”
MugiWhoa! Those names are worlds apart! A woodpecker and a mango—what an unexpected beer pairing!
Hop Bro“Woodpecker” leads with bright lemon-like citrus, followed by a slightly spicy, resinous character. It’s the kind of beer whose aroma you want to keep chasing.
MugiResinous? What does that mean? Does it taste like wood? That would be almost too perfect for a beer called Woodpecker!
Hop BroNo lumber flavors, don’t worry. It describes a fresh, green hop character—think pine and citrus peel, with a crisp aromatic edge.
MugiI see! So “Woodpecker” is a grown-up hop showcase. I might feel fancy trying to analyze every aroma!
Hop BroThen there’s “Aragoshi Mango,” a mango-scented weissbier. Its fruity yeast aroma from the wheat beer base blends beautifully with mango.
MugiThat sounds delicious! If it has a mixed-juice-like aroma, I’ll be tempted to put a straw in the glass!
Hop BroLet’s leave the straw at home. The soft wheat-beer profile makes it approachable for fruit-beer newcomers, and sampling both contrasting beers is the real fun.
MugiStart with citrusy, resinous “Woodpecker,” then move to mango-filled “Aragoshi Mango”! At vivo!, open from 3 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, I want to toast with great food!
