SNOW MONKEY IPA and Minami Shinshu Beer PORTER Go on Tap at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido
At the beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido, Koto Ward, an Instagram post dated April 1 announced a NEW 2TAP lineup. Shiga Kogen Beer's 'SNOW MONKEY IPA' and Minami Shinshu Beer's 'PORTER' are on offer, creating a lineup that can be enjoyed alongside seafood dishes.
Hop BroKameido's NEW 2TAP at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS has SNOW MONKEY IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer and PORTER from Minami Shinshu Beer on tap. It's a lineup that already knows it's meant to go with seafood.
MugiWhoa! SNOW MONKEY IPA and PORTER are two beers with totally different personalities, aren't they? It's like my mood just got turned into a roller coaster!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. The IPA is all about hop aroma, while the porter is all about roasted malt character. In other words, it's a fragrant IPA and a rich PORTER, so you get to enjoy the range.
MugiBut wait, when you say hop aroma, what is 'hazy-hazy~' supposed to mean? Does that just mean bitter?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means the nuance of enjoying haze and hop-derived aroma. SNOW MONKEY IPA has a strong hop aroma on the nose, and it's the kind of beer that goes well with you from the start of the meal to the end.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds like it'd go with fried fish and fries! The shop name is Fish & Chips, so it already feels like a win for the pairing!
Hop BroExactly. The IPA cuts through the oil from the fried fish, and the PORTER catches the aftertaste of fried food with malt sweetness and roasted notes. It's a really sensible pairing.
MugiSo PORTER is a black beer, right? I used to think it was heavy and hard to approach, but maybe it works with food!
Hop BroExactly. This time it's Wednesday, April 1, from 17:00 to 23:00, L.O. 22:00, and real ale is on break. Since they've narrowed it down to two taps, it's actually easier to choose.
MugiThen today is a day when I don't have to hesitate! A two-tap focused service in Kameido is kind of admirably straightforward!
Hop BroGRANDPA FISH & CHIPS has that easygoing atmosphere where you can stop in without being formal and have a drink as part of everyday life. Today I'd start with SNOW MONKEY IPA, then move to PORTER, and build a tasting sequence.
MugiGot it, I'm going too! First I want to go 'wow' over the IPA, then end with PORTER and get all reflective. That's definitely a tonight's drink candidate, confirmed!
