Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, Yatsugatake Takedown and RePubrew on the April 23 Tap List
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list for April 23. Centered on Yatsugatake Takedown, the lineup also includes a collaboration with Kyoto Brewing and a new canned beer from RePubrew. True to an Akihabara beer pub, the selection is built for both drinking in-house and taking home.
Hop BroAkihabara's beer pub has a seriously hot April 23 tap update. At Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, they've put together a tasting lineup centered on Yatsugatake Takedown.
MugiWhoa, centered on Yatsugatake Takedown? That alone is exciting! But why is the lineup so packed?
Hop BroBecause it spans everything from Pilsner, Dunkel, Kiyosato Lager, Rock Helles, and Fresh Yuzu Lager to lagers and wheat beers. It really shows the breadth of Yatsugatake Takedown's range.
MugiHuh! But does Rock Dry-Hopped mean it has rocks in it? That's suddenly sounding really wild!
Hop BroNo rocks involved, so you can relax. Dry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, and the Rock series is best understood as Takedown's more distinctive line.
MugiI see! Then Roggen Roll is interesting too! A three-way collaboration? That's so much information my brain is basically foaming over!
Hop BroExactly, that's the three-way collaboration. Serverland Akasaka-mitsuke, Scissors Akihabara, and Yatsugatake Takedown are all connected here, and the word Roggen evokes rye-like nuances, so it also has that tap-takeover kind of fun.
MugiThat's so cool! And Wanpaku Kozou is a collaboration with Kyoto Brewing too, right? The name sounds so lively, like a little troublemaker!
Hop BroYep, it's a collaboration beer with Kyoto Brewing, and what's interesting is that it shows a different face from the regular lineup. When a beer like this is added, it gives the tap list a story.
MugiAnd they even have a new RePubrew can! AGE AGE SAME AGE makes me want to toast just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. The key point is that they brought in a Czech-style dark lager in can form. It's great to drink there, and it's also perfect for taking home in a growler or plastic cup and opening slowly later.
MugiIt's amazing that you can choose so much in Akihabara, and both in-house drinking and takeout are available! At this point, I feel like one drink won't be enough...!
Hop BroI know. It's the kind of lineup that hits both for a post-work drink and for a weekend tasting session. So tonight, do we start with Yatsugatake Takedown or finish with RePubrew? Now I really want to go drinking.
Tap lineup for April 23
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has published its updated tap list for April 23. The main focus is Yatsugatake Takedown, with a wide range of beers on offer, from lagers to wheat beers and fruit-forward pours: Pilsner, Dunkel, Kiyosato Lager, Rock Weizen, Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen ver. 2, Weizenbock, Yamanashi Peach Weizen, Rock Helles, and Fresh Yuzu Lager.
Notable pairings
- Yatsugatake Takedown x Serverland Akasaka-mitsuke x Scissors Akihabara / 102 x 69 ~Roggen Roll~
- Yatsugatake Takedown x Kyoto Brewing / Wanpaku Kozou
- RePubrew / AGE AGE SAME AGE
The two beers released under collaboration credits, in particular, show connections that are uniquely meaningful to this shop. Roggen Roll is a three-way collaboration, and it also lends itself to tap-takeover-style enjoyment. Wanpaku Kozou is a collaboration with Kyoto Brewing, and is built to show a different side from Yatsugatake Takedown's standard lineup.
There is also a new arrival from RePubrew: AGE AGE SAME AGE. The post explains that the Czech-style dark lager, which had already been tapped early, has now arrived in cans, making it a beer craft fans will want to check out. The atmosphere of the post also conveyed that, despite it being a weekday, it was a dense and lively day, something that comes through in the heft of the tap list.
The shop is a beer pub in Taito 1-chome, Akihabara. It works well whether you're stopping in for just one drink after work or taking your time on a day off to compare beers. Along with the business hours, the post noted that the shop also supports takeout in growlers and plastic cups. That ability to choose both a pint enjoyed on-site and one opened later at home is one of this shop's strengths.
