Craft Beer Moonlight in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, announced its seasonal Amanatsu Ale in the May 13 "Today's Beer & Takeout & Delivery" lineup. In addition to in-house service, it also offers takeout and delivery, along with its regular beers and bottled beer lineup.
Hop BroToday at Craft Beer Moonlight in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, the seasonal Amanatsu Ale starts being released on May 13. It's nice that you can enjoy it both in the taproom and to go.
MugiWow! Amanatsu Ale already sounds delicious just from the name! What kind of taste should I imagine when you say seasonal fruit character?
Hop BroWhen the aroma of amanatsu and a moderate bitterness come together, it becomes really easy to drink. And this time they're offering it in S size for 600 yen, so it's easy to try.
MugiWhat? You can build that much of a story from just the S size? I'm curious what else there is if the regular lineup is this full!
Hop BroThey have Tama no Izumi, Spica, and Tama no Nagare, plus Kawasaki Shinshu, Masugata Castle, and Noborito no Watashi. And because of the small-batch, many-variety setup, it's fun to compare them a little at a time.
MugiOhh! But isn't a 3-tsubo brewing space way too small? I like that beer can be born from a place that feels like a workshop!
Hop BroBeing small is exactly what gives it that handcrafted feel. Moonlight started in Kawasaki in 2009, and while using the Uni-Keg system, it values traditional European and American brewing methods.
MugiUni-Keg, what!? That term got serious out of nowhere there, Hop!
Hop BroIn short, it's a kind of container system for handling beer cleanly. That makes it easier to preserve flavor and enjoy it at peak freshness.
MugiI get it! And it even has bottled beer for takeout and delivery. If there's even support for drinking at home, then the weekend is basically a win!
Hop BroExactly. They also have 330 ml bottles like Tama no Nagare Lager and Tsukui-do Pilsner, so it's the kind of place where you hesitate between drinking in the shop or taking your time at home. Today, you just want to toast with Amanatsu Ale.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back anymore! This seasonal drink from Kawasaki makes me want to go drink right now too!
