Two Beers Tapped at Once at UNDERGROUND Akabane, Featuring Distinctive Brews from Inkhorn and Kyoto Brewing
UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane announced "two beers on tap today" on March 19. Inkhorn Brewing's Black IPA "Jihi Shinchou" and Kyoto Brewing's "Rashikunai (Varley Wine)" were tapped at the same time. It's a tap update that lets you enjoy roasted character and heft, two different personalities at once.
Hop BroAt UNDERGROUND in Akabane, two beers were tapped at once today! It is the kind of round that beer comparison fans love.
MugiWhoa, two at the same time!? That is intriguing, the Akabane tap update kind of thing!
Hop BroOne is Inkhorn Brewing's Jihi Shinchou, a Black IPA at 7.0% with a bold hit of roasted character and hop aroma.
MugiWhat even is that! An IPA that is black? What is a Black IPA? The name itself is a paradox!
Hop BroThat is the interesting part. It is a style that layers IPA-like bitterness and aroma over the toasty character of roasted malt, which leans more toward dark beer.
MugiOhhh! So what about the other one, Kyoto Brewing's "Rashikunai"? A Varley Wine at 9.0% sounds strong!
Hop BroDefinitely a full-bodied one. It has unexpected twists, true to its name, and is a beer to enjoy slowly for its malt-led depth. The way it nods to Inkhorn's context is slick.
MugiThis lineup satisfies both bitterness lovers and heavy-body lovers at the same time. That is a wildly wide range! My stomach is holding a meeting!
Hop BroAnd the shop is only four minutes from Akabane Station, so it is perfect for a day when you can really feel the difference between glasses, and they even teased the indoor cherry blossom event on April 19.
MugiIt is decided! I want to start with Jihi Shinchou and finish with "Rashikunai". Let's go drink right now!
At UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane (1-66-5 Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo), two new beers were announced on tap on March 19.
The two beers added this time are as follows:
- Inkhorn Brewing "Jihi Shinchou"
Style: Black IPA / ABV 7.0%
- Kyoto Brewing "Rashikunai"
Style: Varley Wine / ABV 9.0%
The post also touched on the collaboration context between Inkhorn and Kyoto Brewing, presenting a simultaneous tap of a Black IPA with the toasty aroma of roasted malt and a Varley Wine that feels "unlike itself," true to its name. It is a lineup that appeals both to people who want to enjoy hop-driven bitterness and aroma, and to those looking for malt-led richness.
The shop is located a four-minute walk from Akabane Station, making it an easy beer pub to keep up with regular tap changes. It is also an easy place to stop by on a day when you want to compare beers seriously, and on a day like this, when two beers with a wide stylistic range arrive at once, it is a particularly good moment to appreciate the difference in each glass.
The post also mentioned a preview of the next event: an "indoor cherry blossom viewing event" planned for Sunday, April 19. Details are said to be announced later, so it may be worth keeping an eye out for the follow-up.
