CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI introduces three new taps, including NORTH ISLAND BEER
In a post dated August 22, CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI introduced three newly tapped beers: Sour Ale from NORTH ISLAND BEER, "Yoshano no Aooni feat. Indo no Aooni" from ASOBI BEER, and 30th PALE ALE from Minamishinshu Beer.
Hop BroFunabashi is looking lively today. CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI just put three new taps on at once.
MugiWhat! Three at once? That sounds like the tap list suddenly turned into a festival!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong: NORTH ISLAND BEER's Sour Ale, ASOBI BEER's Yosano no Aooni feat. Indo no Aooni, and Minamishinshu Beer's 30th PALE ALE. It's a summer-ready lineup.
MugiWhoa! But Sour Ale means a sour beer, right? If we're talking pickled-plum levels, I need a warning!
Hop BroNot that intense. A Sour Ale usually has a refreshing tartness, more like a crisp citrusy lift that's perfect for hot weather.
MugiWhat is that! If it's called a summer staple, I can already picture myself drinking it fast.
Hop BroThen there's ASOBI BEER's Yosano no Aooni feat. Indo no Aooni, a tribute project based on Yoho Brewing's Indo no Aooni, and they even invited the head brewer to help make it.
MugiHold on, a tribute project? Why does that sound like a beer impression contest?
Hop BroClose, but more respectful than silly. It means carrying over the spirit of the original recipe. And 30th PALE ALE is a single-hop beer, so you get the hop character nice and clearly.
MugiWait, single-hop beer means one hop doing all the work alone? That poor ingredient needs labor protection!
Hop BroNo exploitation here. Using just one hop makes its personality easier to taste, so Cascade comes through with full-on citrus character, kind of grapefruit-like and bright.
MugiOkay, now I get it! And if CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI does beer flights with pizza and spare ribs too, that's basically flight-tasting heaven.
Hop BroExactly. It's a 26-seat beer pub with more than 10 craft beers on tap, so on a day like this you just want to sit down and work through them all.
MugiI'm sold. Cool off with Sour Ale, get loud over the Aooni collab, then finish with 30th PALE ALE. That's the perfect drinking route and now I want it immediately!
CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, a beer pub in the Funabashi area, used its August 22 post to introduce three newly tapped beers. The update also noted that posting had been delayed on Friday and Saturday, then moved on to the current lineup.
The new taps are `Sour Ale` from `NORTH ISLAND BEER`, `Yoshano no Aooni feat. Indo no Aooni` from `ASOBI BEER` in the American IPA style, and `30th PALE ALE` from `Minamishinshu Beer` in the American Pale Ale style. `Sour Ale` is described as a summer staple with a bright, refreshing acidity. `Yoshano no Aooni feat. Indo no Aooni` is the first project in ASOBI BEER's homage series for legendary beers; the brewery says it was brewed with the original recipe and with the brewer present, so it should be interesting to compare it with `Indo no Aooni` from `Yo-Ho Brewing`. `30th PALE ALE` is a 30th-anniversary beer brewed as a single-hop pale ale with Cascade only, bringing out citrus character.
The shop itself sits on the second floor of a building in Honcho, Funabashi. It offers a relaxed beer-pub setting with counter and table seating, more than 10 rotating craft beers, a three-beer flight, and food such as pizza and spare ribs that pairs naturally with beer.
