WEST COAST BREWING tap takeover announced for Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Sumida, Tokyo will host a WEST COAST BREWING tap takeover on Saturday, August 22. All six regular taps are set to switch over, with the usual VIP all-you-can-drink plan and single-item orders available.
Hop BroNext Saturday is stacked, WEST COAST BREWING TTO lands at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on August 22.
MugiWait, what! all six taps going to one brewery sounds less like an event and more like a delicious takeover.
Hop BroPretty much, and WCB is based in Mochimune, Shizuoka, with the lineup still secret even though West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA are already being teased.
MugiHold on, tap takeover means beer taps get hijacked, right, or am I watching the wrong action movie?
Hop BroNo explosions here, it just means one brewery runs the board and every draft line gets handed over for the day.
MugiOkay, but West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA sound like cousins with very different personalities. What's the actual difference?
Hop BroSimple version: crisp bitter finish for West Coast IPA, while Hazy IPA goes softer, juicier, and cloudier, with hop aroma doing the heavy lifting.
MugiThat already sounds dangerous for my wallet, and then you add house-made pizza and expect me to stay calm?
Hop BroYou are not staying calm, because the VIP all-you-can-drink plan still works, single pours are fine too, and Shunta is scheduled to stop by.
MugiSo it is beer, pizza, and maybe brewery talk in a hidden-alley bar between Ryogoku and Kuramae? That's suspiciously perfect.
Hop BroExactly, and if you want the smooth route, book by DM or a gourmet site before everyone else gets the same idea.
MugiThen it's settled, I want juicy first, bitter second, and August 22 cannot come fast enough.
