Hop BroBeer Kise in Matsubara, Setagaya has Korpokkur on Tap 3 right now. It’s a collab from flora fermentation and NOMCRAFT Brewing, which already sounds like trouble in the best way.
MugiWhat, that name is adorable but also weirdly powerful! What kind of beer is Korpokkur?
Hop BroIt’s a Saison w/ Spruce Tips at 5% ABV. They used fresh Akaezomatsu shoots from Hokkaido, so it’s basically aiming to pour a forest into your glass.
MugiWait, Spruce Tips sounds like a spell from a wizard cookbook! We’re still talking about beer, right?
Hop BroWe are, and here’s the simple version: fresh spruce shoots. They use the young tips to add that crisp, conifer-like freshness to the beer.
MugiNo way, so it’s like drinking a forest breeze? And then it also has a faint strawberry note? This beer has layers!
Hop BroThat’s the clever bit, the soft strawberry note floats over the evergreen aroma. With saison yeast keeping it light, it should drink really clean.
MugiHonestly, that sounds like Hokkaido in a glass. Getting that at Beer Kise on the third floor in Matsubara feels like a pretty great find.
Hop BroEven the name comes from an Ainu legend about a tiny spirit. Once you know that, it really feels like the kind of guest beer you want to sit with and savor.
MugiThen it’s settled, straight to Tap 3. I want forest vibes, strawberry whispers, and tiny-legend energy in one glass right now!
