Craftbeer & Cafe Kura Taps Brasserie Knot x TY Harbor Session IPA
The beer pub Craftbeer & Cafe Kura in Moto-Komagome, Tokyo, announced a new tap in a March 27 post. The featured beer is Brasserie Knot's Session IPA, introduced as a collaboration beer with TY Harbor. It is described as light and easy to drink.
Hop BroAt the beer pub "Craftbeer & Cafe Kura" in Bunkyo Ward, Brasserie Knot's Session IPA has been newly tapped. And the TY Harbor collaboration makes it even more exciting.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing "collaboration beer" makes it sound delicious! But what's the difference between a Session IPA and a regular IPA?
Hop BroIn short, a Session IPA is light and easy to drink. It still has proper hop aroma, but the alcohol presence is moderate, so it's designed to be easy to keep drinking a few glasses in a row.
MugiOhhh! So it's like the ideal student, with hops as the star but not going overboard?
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it interesting. It brings out the individual character of the hops while keeping the body light, so you can enjoy the aroma and drink it smoothly.
MugiI see! Then it sounds great as a first beer too. And the shop itself seems like the kind of place you can drop by casually, right?
Hop BroYeah, Kura is a place with a cafe side too, so the nice thing is that you can go in without feeling formal. Being on the first floor of Foresta Rikugien, it's also a perfect stop during a walk.
MugiWow, a beer after a walk sounds amazing! And the post was from March 27, so it feels really current!
Hop BroExactly. And the fact that they're also selling butterbur sprout miso is a clever combination too. When a bitter beer is lined up with a springlike aromatic snack, it suddenly makes you want to drink.
MugiWow, that really feels like a spring beer. If it's Brasserie Knot's Session IPA and a TY Harbor collaboration, I might not be able to resist!
Hop BroRight? This is definitely something to check out now. Sip the lively Session IPA and snack on some butterbur sprout miso, and you're basically guaranteed happiness.
MugiAll right, let's have a drink in Bunkyo Ward today! Following these new tap openings is way too much fun!
The beer pub Craftbeer & Cafe Kura, located in Moto-Komagome, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, shared new tap information in an Instagram post on March 27.
The newly tapped beer this time is Brasserie Knot's Session IPA. In the post, it is introduced as a collaboration with TY Harbor, and is described as "light and easy to drink." Even from the style name alone, this looks like a beer that lets you enjoy hop character while still being balanced enough to keep reaching for another glass.
Kura is a beer pub inside Foresta Rikugien 1F. As the name suggests, it has both craft beer and cafe sides, making it an easy place to drop by without any fuss. A Session IPA like this one seems well suited both for lingering over a few drinks and for enjoying as a light first pour.
The post also noted that butterbur sprout miso is on sale, adding another small enjoyment to pair with the beer. If you're following tap changes around the Bunkyo area, this is one of Kura's latest posts worth checking.
