Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke Branch Newly Taps Four Beers on the 5/14 Tap List
The beer pub "Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke," located underground in Akasaka-Mitsuke, has published its tap list for May 14. Four beers from Himitsu Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION, Minoh Beer, and Ise Kadoya Beer are newly tapped, making for a lineup that ranges from lager to IPA to porter.
Hop BroToday's highlight is the four new taps in Akasaka-Mitsuke. Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke put out its May 14 tap list, and it features Himitsu Beer, FLORA FERMENTATION, Minoh Beer, and Ise Kadoya Beer.
MugiWhoa! Four beers added at once is a lot to take in! And the basement in Akasaka-Mitsuke sounds like a secret base, which is kind of exciting.
Hop BroThat's the appeal. The shop is a 31-tap beer pub with the strength to rotate craft beer from all over Japan. It also has menu items that take vegetarians and vegans into account, so it's easy to build a meal around the beer.
MugiWhat? I get that there are a bunch of taps, but with that many, wouldn't you get lost? I feel like I'd freeze at the counter and still be unable to decide after three minutes.
Hop BroGetting lost is part of the fun. This lineup spans everything from lager to IPA, so you can choose whether to start light or go with something that suits the meal. It's a lineup that makes it easy to plan how you'll drink.
MugiOhh! But what is Helles Bier? It sounds German and strong, but is it actually something gentle?
Hop BroGood question. Himitsu Beer's 'Ise-Shima Pearl Lager' is a crisp, easy-drinking lager, and Helles Bier is the kind with a bright, clean flavor. In other words, just remember that it's not too heavy and works well as a first beer.
MugiGot it! So FLORA FERMENTATION's 'Tayu' says Porter w/ Soba, but does that mean it's a black beer with buckwheat soba in it? Wait, can soba even go into beer!?
Hop BroIt can, and the toasty aroma from the buckwheat really works. Porter is a dark beer with roasted character, and when you layer in the soba notes, a gently roasted aroma spreads through it. It's the kind of beer that's interesting with food, too.
MugiThat's so interesting! And just the name Osaru IPA from Minoh Beer already makes me want to drink it, and Ise Kadoya Beer's 'Spring Whisper' has such a beautiful name, too.
Hop BroExactly. Enjoy the hops in the 'Osaru IPA,' then finish with the afterglow of a freestyle ale like 'Spring Whisper.' Drinking and comparing them while thinking through the order inside that open, underground space is the best.
MugiAll right, I've decided! I'll start with a lager to test the waters, then try the dark one next! A beer comparison in Akasaka sounds like it could be my whole plan for today!
Hop BroThat's the right call. Then let's go tackle the 31 taps. Tonight in Akasaka-Mitsuke, from a light, easy drink to something for the dedicated sippers, this is definitely the kind of place that makes both of us want to drink.
In a post on May 14, Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke announced today's tap list and revealed four new taps. The bar is a basement beer pub near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, with a lineup of 31 taps featuring craft beer from across Japan. It also offers menu items tailored for vegetarians and vegans, making it an easy place to build a meal around beer.
The four newly tapped beers that day each had a clearly different drinking direction. With lager, porter, IPA, and freestyle ale on offer, it was easy to choose everything from a refreshing first pint to something suited to a meal.
- ⑳ Himitsu Beer "Ise-Shima Pearl Lager" / Helles Bier (Mie)
- ㉖ FLORA FERMENTATION "Tayu" / Porter w/ Soba (Shiga)
- ⑱ Minoh Beer "Osaru IPA" (Osaka)
- ⑲ Ise Kadoya Beer "Spring Whisper" / Freestyle ale (Mie)
The basement interior feels open despite being underground, making it a good place to stop in for just one drink at the counter. Beyond the large number of taps, the appeal of the place is being able to follow the kegs as they rotate daily, and on a day like this, when four beers from different regions and styles are lined up, it is fun just thinking about the order in which to taste them. If you're looking for craft beer in Akasaka, this is a tap list worth checking first.
