Beer shop Llama, a beer pub in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, announced new taps on Instagram. The post also said that major-brand beers may be connected irregularly going forward, and that those pours will be offered in a blind format without revealing the manufacturer. The current taps feature a wide range of styles from domestic breweries.
Hop BroA new tap opening announcement went up at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka. And they're even doing blind pours, which is pretty playful.
MugiWhat! You mean the manufacturer is not disclosed? That sounds like a guessing game, and it's exciting!
Hop BroExactly. When they hook up major-brand beer irregularly, it looks like they'll serve it in a blind challenge format with the brand hidden. It's fun to identify it by taste alone.
MugiBut does the influence of supply and materials conditions change the beer's taste too? That sounds complicated...!
Hop BroNot the taste itself so much as the procurement and keg logistics. So for now it's mainly domestic breweries, and the TAP list has a wide variety of faces.
MugiWow! Having everything from a smoothie sour to stout is such a huge range!
Hop BroFor example, there's Kanpai!'s Berry Berry Slope, Let's Beer Works' HEFE WEISSE and TIMEFLOW Imperial Sour, Uchoten Brewing's Excursions and Jazz, and DD4D's Showstopper.
MugiJust the names start a taste-imagining contest! I have no idea what Jazz would smell like!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They also have Shiga Kogen Beer's Kind of Gold, open air's warm up, and NORTH ISLAND's Gin ZY, so it's a lineup that will leave both IPA fans and sour fans lost for choice.
MugiHaving West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, and Imperial IPA is amazing! If I did some switch-up drinking, my taste buds would be busy the whole time, and it would be fun!
Hop BroExactly. Start with a sweet sour, switch to IPA, and finish with an Irish stout, a Mitaka night like that really makes you want to go out for a drink.
MugiI definitely want to go! I'd love to try a cup at Llama and take on the blind guess challenge!
Beer shop Llama, a beer pub in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, Tokyo, announced a new tap opening on Instagram. The post explained that, due to supply and materials-related conditions, major-brand beers may be tapped irregularly in the future, and that those pours will be served in a blind challenge format with the manufacturer name and brand hidden.
The current TAP list spans a wide range, from sweet-tart smoothie sours to Hefeweizen, imperial sour, Irish red ale, West Coast IPA, imperial IPA, hazy IPA, and Irish stout. Specifically, the lineup includes Kanpai!'s 'Berry Berry Slope Acai Bowl Smoothie Sour,' Let's Beer Works' 'HEFE WEISSE' and 'TIMEFLOW Imperial Sour,' Uchoten Brewing's 'Excursions' and 'Jazz,' DD4D's 'Showstopper,' Shiga Kogen Beer's 'Kind of Gold,' open air's 'warm up,' and NORTH ISLAND's 'Gin ZY.'
Beer shop Llama is known as a place in the Mitaka Station South Exit area where you can drink while following changes on tap. A lineup like this, which crosses a range of taps with very different personalities while also including a deliberately unidentified pour, is the kind of setup that makes beer lovers want to take their time and really taste each beer. It is a noteworthy selection that could easily support a drinking flow that starts with a sweet sour, shifts to IPA, and ends with stout.
