Three Taps Open in Tokyo Otemachi: Featured Guest Beers for St Patrick's Day
CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch announced in a March 17 post that it would tap three guest beers for St Patrick's Day. The lineup features the distinct personalities of PAINT PALETTE BREWING, Y.Market Brewing, and Johana Beer, offering something for everyone from IPA fans to lovers of flavor-forward beers.
Hop BroToday's topic is three taps opened at once in Otemachi! CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch tapped a batch of guest beers all at once for St Patrick's Day.
MugiWhat! Three breweries in one place? That sounds so fun for after work, being able to stop by and taste them side by side!
Hop BroFirst up is PAINT PALETTE BREWING's Hypnotic Graffiti. It's a Kyoto Brewing collaboration Double IPA with terpene-like notes, berry character, and a resinous aroma.
MugiWhat is that! What even is terpene oil? Suddenly it sounds like a science lab word!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a component that emphasizes hop aroma. The aroma is dense, but the finish is surprisingly dry, so it doesn't feel too heavy even with the high ABV.
MugiOhhh! Then I'm also curious about Y.Market Brewing's Chou IPA! It sounds strong just from the name, and that's exciting!
Hop BroChou IPA is a WIPA with a one-two punch of bitterness and sweetness. Malt richness is layered with fruit notes of pineapple, peach, and citrus, giving it a full body.
MugiWow, that sounds like it has to be delicious! But the third one, Mukai no Sakura Peach Tea Flavor, suddenly sounds so gentle, and that contrast is huge!
Hop BroJohana Beer's one puts peach juice and tea aroma front and center. It's lightly sweet and refreshing, so it works well after an IPA or even with a meal.
MugiSo today, you can compare hoppy beers to aromatic flavor beers side by side in one place! Even the choosing part is a treat!
Hop BroExactly. That's what makes which one to drink first today the most luxurious dilemma. I want to start with Hypnotic Graffiti first!
MugiI'll start with Mukai no Sakura and then move on to Chou IPA! I seriously want to toast right now~!
At CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch (on the first floor of Tokiwabashi Tower) in Otemachi, Tokyo, three guest beers have been tapped at the same time. In an Instagram post on March 17, the shop introduced labels with clearly defined character as its St Patrick's Day pour.
One of the highlights this time is PAINT PALETTE BREWING's "Hypnotic Graffiti". The post describes it as a collaboration Double IPA with Kyoto Brewing, featuring a strong aroma suggestive of terpene oil, berries, and resin, along with a dry finish even at a high ABV. It is a must-try for IPA fans who want to enjoy rich layers of aroma.
The second is Y.Market Brewing's "Chou IPA". It is introduced as a WIPA built around firm bitterness, with malt sweetness and hop-driven fruitiness layered on top. With tropical notes reminiscent of pineapple, peach, and citrus, it suits those looking for a beer with a substantial body.
The third is Johana Beer "Mukai no Sakura Peach Tea Flavor". Using the know-how from its black tea series, it combines the juiciness of peach juice with the aroma of tea in a refreshing, lightly sweet design. In contrast to the bitterness-forward IPA lineup, it has a balanced profile that also works well with food.
Located in a corner of the central business district, the shop is an easy stop after work. Its appeal is that you can compare a high-ABV hoppy IPA and aromatically driven flavor beers all in one place. As a St Patrick's Day post, it is a tap update full of the simple pleasure of deciding, "Which one should I drink first today?"
