KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer at Kawasaki Azalea, 18 taps centered on Tokaido BEER
KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer inside Kawasaki Azalea has released its tap list as of 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 9. Centered on Tokaido BEER's own brews, the lineup also includes guest beers from Kyoto Brewing and West Coast Brewing, making for a broad selection.
Hop BroThat 18-tap lineup right by Kawasaki Station is hot today. It’s built around Tokaido BEER’s own brews, and the guest beers are lined up too, so it’s the kind of selection that’s fun just to look at.
MugiWait, 18 beers at once!? With that many, I’d be tipsy just from looking at the menu!
Hop BroEven the house beers alone give you nine distinct personalities. There’s the IPA `1623`, the Porter `Black Slackening`, and the Amber Ale `Pale Pink Pretext`, so the colors, aromas, and flavors are all clearly different.
MugiWhat is that, Porter and Amber Ale? Just the names already sound like the world of grown-ups. I can still only say “tasty”!
Hop BroA Porter like `Black Slackening` tends to bring out roasted notes, while a Belgian Wheat like `Meeting of Barley` has the appeal of soft wheat character. In other words, it’s a day where you can compare toasty richness and lightness.
MugiOhhh! So something like the Hazy IPA `Kawasaki Big Beer Toning Ale` is the kind that’s fluffy and juicy? That name is already too funny!
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPA is the style that brings the hop aroma forward while using haze and a soft mouthfeel to make it easy to drink. Today there’s even one called `Bar Bar 2nd Anniversary Kinako-colored Fluffy Hazy`, so there’s a real soft, hazy happiness here.
MugiAnd the guest beers are strong too! `One-Track Dedication` and `McKenzie Pils` make it feel like a traveling tap list. I’m getting excited!
Hop BroThat `One-Track Dedication` is Kyoto Brewing’s Belgian IPA, a 6% beer where the fruity character of Belgian yeast meets the tropical notes of New Zealand hops. It’s a beer where the duet of yeast and hops lands beautifully.
MugiWhoa, tasting that side by side would be so much fun! If food is allowed in and takeout is available too, you could even do an Azalea beer stroll.
Hop BroExactly. The best part is being able to drop by casually near the station and work your way from IPA to pilsner to fruit beer. Today is definitely a good day for a first drink in Kawasaki.
MugiI’m in! I’ll start with something easy to drink, and Hop-bro can go after the more niche stuff. Today is perfect for a toast!
