Himalaya table updates taps for April 7, featuring eight beers including Baeren and Hop Kotan
The beer pub Himalaya table in Tokyo's Kanda district released its tap lineup for April 7. The selection brings together eight beers with distinct personalities, including Baeren's Rauchbock, Hop Kotan's Session IPL, and Onidensetsu's Kinki Pale Ale.
Hop BroKanda's beer pub April 7 tap update is pretty bold. At Himalaya table, eight beers including Baeren and Hop Kotan are lined up.
MugiWhat, eight beers at once!? If I stopped by after work, I might hit closing time before I even decide!
Hop BroFirst thing to note is Baeren Brewery's RAUCH BOCK. It's a Rauchbock with smoky malt aroma, combining toasty character with the richness of a bock.
MugiWhat's a Rauchbock? Does smoky malt aroma mean the beer smells like barbecue?
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking, it's like smoky wort. On top of that, the bock's solid maltiness comes through, so when you drink it, your brain says, 'I can do one more tonight.'
MugiWhoa, that sounds interesting! And they even have Hop Kotan's Session IPL, right? Hop aroma front and center - the name alone is energetic!
Hop BroIgnition leans fully into hop aroma. Because it's a Session beer, it's lighter on the palate, and as an IPL, the nice part is you can enjoy both lager crispness and the hop expression.
MugiI see, so it's light but aromatic. Then the single-hop version of Onidensetsu's Kinki Pale Ale is like an experiment to observe hop individuality?
Hop BroExactly. Because it's single CGX Nelson, it's easier to take in the white-grape-like and tropical character of Nelson Sauvin. It's like fingerprint analysis for hops.
MugiThe fingerprint-analysis comparison is weird but easy to understand! And if they even have altbier and saison, you can compare yeast character too.
Hop BroExactly. Since they also have Swan Lake's altbier, Minoh's Honey Saison, and Minamishinshu's Hima Bitter, the range for comparison is really wide. It's a great tap lineup for going for one beer at a time after work in Kanda.
MugiThere's no way I'm not stopping by...! One drink at a time in Kanda sounds amazing. Today I want to drink at Himalaya table with you leading the way, hop bro!
The beer pub Himalaya table in Tokyo's Kanda district posted its April 7 tap lineup on Instagram. This time, the lineup spans a wide range of styles, from a Rauchbock with smoky malt nuances to an IPL that puts hop aroma front and center, along with classic pale ale and altbier, saison, and an anniversary beer.
The lineup includes these eight beers.
- Baeren Brewery "Onmenbroi (RAUCH BOCK)"
- Hop Kotan Brewery "Ignition (Session IPL)"
- T.Y. HARBOR Brewery "Pale Ale"
- Onidensetsu (Noboribetsu Beer) "Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson Single Ver."
- Swan Lake Beer "Album (Altbier)"
- Brasserie Knot "HARBOR (SIPA)"
- Minoh Beer "Honey Saison"
- Minamishinshu Beer Ogna "Hima Bitter"
For craft beer fans, a particularly noteworthy point is that smoky lager character, American-hop-driven drinkability, and yeast-derived expression in altbier and saison are all lined up on the same tap list. In particular, the single-hop version of "Kinki Pale Ale" and the SIPA notation on "HARBOR" are well suited for people who want to take their time and examine hop character closely.
