At the beer pub "GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS" in Kameido, Tokyo, two taps were announced, including NOMCRAFT BREWING's "Mighty Dragon" and Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing's "Imperial Dark Saison." The counter-seat-focused shop is set up so you can enjoy them alongside fish and chips.
Hop BroThe 2-tap release in Kameido is pretty interesting. At GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, NOMCRAFT BREWING's "Mighty Dragon" and Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing's "Imperial Dark Saison" are on together.
MugiWait, a dragon and a dark saison!? Just the names sound strong! And being able to compare them on the same day is unfair!
Hop BroWhat's more, Mighty Dragon is described by the shop as cloudy-cloudy. It's the kind of beer you can imagine as hazy in appearance and soft on the palate.
MugiCloudy-cloudy means hazy, right? It's cute, but doesn't beer have too many sound-effect words?
Hop BroExactly, it basically means a cloudy beer. Yeast and hop-derived elements remain, so both the appearance and flavor tend to feel softer.
MugiOhhh! Then the other one, "Imperial Dark Saison," is labeled high-ABV black saison, and just reading that makes me feel tipsy!
Hop BroTo put it simply, think of it as a black saison with a solid body and a strong alcohol presence. When saison's dryness meets roasted or dark malt character, it gets a lot of expression.
MugiWhat a wide range! One is hazy and gentle, the other is dark and heavy. They're total opposites!
Hop BroAnd the location is great too. GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a small beer pub centered around counter seating, so it's perfect for dropping in and checking each beer one by one.
MugiAnd if fish & chips are there, it's a win! Crispy fish and a hazy beer sounds delicious just thinking about it!
Hop BroThat's exactly why this combo is so strong. As a Kameido must-check update, it's the kind of place you'd want to stop by whether you're there for the beer or for the food.
MugiAll right, decision made! Since it's a night for a tasting comparison, I'll start with Mighty Dragon and then settle in with the dark saison!
Hop BroNice. Finish it off with fish and beer. It really was the kind of update that makes you think, I want to go right now.
