Beer O'clock taps Garage Beer Co. Mild and lines up June 27-28 events
Beer O'clock, a craft beer pub near Chiba Station, has introduced a Maruho Shoten-picked lineup of draft and bottled beers. The set is led by Garage Beer Co.'s mild Blissfully Arcane, alongside Behemoth, Whiplash, and Crossover Blendery pours, with related events planned for June 27 and 28.
Hop BroBeer O'clock near Chiba Station just dropped a Maruho Shoten selection, and the range on this lineup is wild.
MugiWait, that much variety in one pub list? The one grabbing me first is BLISSFULLY ARCANE. It already sounds like a spell.
Hop BroThat's Garage Beer Co.'s Mild at 3.6%, basically a light dark pint. Toast and caramel on the nose, but the finish stays easy and smooth.
MugiHold on, Mild means... a polite beer? This light dark pint situation sounds like it needs a committee meeting.
Hop BroMild is an old-school British style, less about sharp bitterness and more about malt. Think cozy malt ale rather than heavy dessert stout.
MugiOhhh, so dark-looking without the intimidation. And if they've got Behemoth doing Fresh Hop IPA, my nose is going to be doing overtime.
Hop BroExactly. You've got HE'S NOT A HOP, HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY as a WC IPA, Cheech&Chong as a Hazy IPA, and then Whiplash rolls in with Nitro Stout for a totally different lane.
MugiNitro? What is that, beer with a race car upgrade? If you tell me it means creamy tiny bubbles, I'm weirdly ready to believe you.
Hop BroThat's basically it. Nitrogen gives it a softer texture and a velvety head, and then Crossover Blendery plus A Tue Tete bring the tart blended side by the glass.
MugiAnd there are events on June 27 and 28, right? With galettes on the 28th? That's tasting-flight heaven. I want to start with the Mild and wander into the sour stuff.
Hop BroWith food pairings in the mix, it's a dangerous amount of temptation. At Beer O'clock, first pint strategy suddenly becomes a serious life decision.
MugiSerious? You already decided three pours ago. If it's walkable from Chiba Station, tonight's detour pretty much picked itself.
