CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI Newly Taps Iwate's 315 BEER "JOY"
At the beer pub "CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI" in Funabashi, "JOY" from Iwate's 315 BEER has been newly tapped. It is a drink that layers the aroma of cherry blossom onto a traditional Bitter, and it is being introduced as an evening guest beer to enjoy together with the lingering mood after a live show.
Hop BroAt CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, on the second floor near Funabashi Station's south exit, JOY from Iwate's 315 BEER has just been tapped. It's a Bitter layered with cherry blossom aroma, the kind of beer that settles in nicely for the evening.
MugiWhat! Cherry blossom in beer? That sounds like a hanami party in spring! But Bitter means bitter, right? Does cherry blossom even work with that?
Hop BroIt does work, actually. Bitter is a traditional British style where bitterness takes the lead, but it also has a solid malt body, which makes it easy to carry aroma.
MugiMalt body? What's that supposed to mean? Like bread or something? I feel like beer explanations just dropped me into a wheat field all of a sudden.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's the richness from the malt. So the fun of this one is following the balance of aroma and bitterness. It's easy to understand if you notice the aroma first, then the bitterness that comes in gradually.
MugiI get it! So it's better for a slow, relaxed night than chugging it down fast, right? It seems like it would be perfect with the afterglow of a live show!
Hop BroThat's part of the article's vibe too. With the lingering feeling from the Lady Honkerz show the day before, the place has this sense of music and beer gently blending together. JOY really shines on a night like that.
MugiAnd they have more than 10 beers available all the time! So many choices. I'd probably get lost at the entrance, but with all those counter seats, maybe I could go alone after all.
Hop BroExactly. Another good thing is the atmosphere that feels like it's welcoming solo drinkers. It's a bit hard to find since it's on the second floor, but that also means you can drink in peace, and it's easy to stop by after work.
MugiThen I'll go with the half-size dishes too and check the aroma first! Cherry blossom aroma plus Bitter bitterness? Just imagining it is making my stomach and my heart rumble!
Hop BroNice. If you're looking for guest beer in Funabashi, this is one you can't miss, and tonight I'd want to end with a glass of JOY. Or rather, it's the kind that makes you want one more after that.
MugiI can't take it anymore, now I want to drink it too! Let's go up to the second floor in Funabashi and chase down Iwate's JOY!
Newly tapped: Iwate's 315 BEER "JOY"
At "CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI," located on the second floor in the Funabashi Station south exit area, JOY has been newly connected as a guest beer. The brewery is 315 BEER, and the origin is Iwate. The style is Bitter, and the post describes it as "a spring-like beer with a faint cherry blossom aroma layered onto a traditional beer."
This announcement also refers to the Lady Honkerz live performance held the day before, conveying the atmosphere inside the shop, where music and beer can be enjoyed at the same time. Rather than the kind of beer you reach for to quench your thirst with the first sip, this is the sort of drink that makes you want to take your time, follow the flavor, and pay attention to the balance of aroma and bitterness.
"CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI" is known as a beer pub with more than 10 craft beers available at all times, and its many counter seats make it especially easy to drop in alone. Because it is on the second floor, it can be a little hard to find, but that also gives the interior a calm atmosphere, making it well suited for settling in with a drink after work.
The food is also arranged to match the beer, and the half-size options make it easy even for small groups to try several dishes. This "JOY" is a type that layers soft seasonal notes over a bitter Bitter, so it seems best to start by checking the aroma, then follow the malt depth and the outline of the hops. If you're looking for guest beer in Funabashi, this is one you won't want to miss.
