Hop BroBeer Pub Kirigirisu in Itabashi Ward's Takashimadaira has released its draft beers for March 31. Two Ushitora beers, COEDO Kyara, Ise Kado's Imperial Red, and Heartland to finish make this a tap list with plenty to enjoy.
MugiWait, four craft beers plus a standard one? That's pretty strong. If I drank them all at once, my beer brain would be in a traffic jam!
Hop BroWith Popopopo~ta~ and Favorite IPA, you can compare each hop's personality, which makes for a fun tasting. IPA brings out aroma and bitterness, so even beers in the same lineup can have totally different characters.
MugiHop personality? What is that! Is it like perfume, where it's 'citrus today' or something?
Hop BroPretty much. For example, Favorite IPA tends to lean toward citrus or tropical aromas, and it's interesting to see how that balances with the bitterness. It's a hop-forward Ushitora IPA.
MugiOhh, so COEDO's Kyara-Kyara- is a little calmer? The name alone makes it sound like brown armor, which is cool!
Hop BroExactly. Kyara's hallmark is its malty balance, with the toastiness of the malt and its drinkability coming together nicely. The hops don't push too far to the front, so it's the kind of beer that's quietly delicious.
MugiAnd Ise Kadoya's Imperial Red Ale! Just the name sounds powerful, and maybe if I drink it I'll level up too!
Hop BroThat's where the solid body stands out. It has the reddish character of a red ale and a rich malt depth, and if you take your time with it, it's the kind that makes you happy. If you finish with a Heartland, your palate resets and it flows naturally into a meal.
MugiAnd they even have baked cheese curry? That's basically an automatic win! Tonight I want to work through the taps one by one in Takashimadaira.
Hop BroExactly, it feels like the kind of place where you can linger comfortably, perfect for taking your time with a beer comparison. I want to stand in front of Kirigirisu's taps and seriously think about my order too.
MugiI'll start with one glass of Kyara, then hop over to Popopopo~ta~, and finish with Heartland! My throat has already arrived at the venue!
Tokyo's Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, posted "ON TAP TODAY" at 17:01 on March 31.
The business hours that day were 18:00 opening, 23:00 closing, with last orders at 22:20. New guests were accepted until 22:00, and the shop also asked people to refrain from visiting while heavily intoxicated or wearing strong perfume, suggesting a calm setting for savoring beer at a leisurely pace.
There were five draft beers. The lineup was:

Finish with Heartland, and the transition to a meal or a lingering drink comes naturally.
True to form for a beer pub, the shop also mentioned light fare such as #pizza and #baked cheese curry, making it suitable for both solo drinking and dining. It is one place worth checking out in the Takashimadaira area when you want to enjoy the day's draft beers exactly as they are.
