A photo showing HIMITSU BEER INC.'s tap list at Canal Brewing in Oi, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, has been posted. From two KAWAUSO series beers to a dark sour, a mango wheat, and a grapefruit IPA, five glasses with distinct personalities are lined up.
Hop BroAt Canal Brewing in Shinagawa, a tap list with five HIMITSU BEER selections showed up. It ranges from fruit styles to IPA and sour beers, so it is a pretty fun lineup.
MugiWait, five kinds? From fruit styles to IPA? My brain can barely keep up. Which one am I supposed to drink first?
Hop BroStart with `KAWAUSO Enya`. It is a farmhouse ale with peach and thyme, a beer that pushes aroma forward with the softness of peach and the scent of thyme.
MugiThyme like the herb used in cooking? Peach and thyme sounds like I am not sure whether this is a dessert or an herbal tea!
Hop BroThat is the interesting part. A farmhouse ale has charm in its rustic feel and fermentation-derived complexity, and when you add peach fruitiness and thyme's refreshing character, it becomes much more layered.
MugiOh, I see! Then next should be `KAWAUSO Kiyari`? `NOBLE IPA` sounds like it has a certain dignity, almost like it means business!
Hop BroExactly, the key is its refined bitterness. A NOBLE IPA tends to show hop character cleanly, and when it is lined up on tap at a place like Canal Brewing, it becomes a great reference point for tasting side by side.
MugiBut `Himitsu no・・・` sounds like it is hiding something already! `spirulina dark sour`? Spirulina is that blue-green stuff, right?
Hop BroThat's right, it is a beer with a strong dark-sour personality. When the acidity of a sour beer, the depth of dark malt, and even the visual impression from spirulina come together, it should leave a strong mark.
MugiWow, I am curious about the mango-and-wheat combination too, and I want to go all-in on citrus with `Gyugyutto Grefru IPA`! Today, I guess I just have to choose based on my mood!
Hop BroExactly. With five beers to choose from based on your mood, tasting them one by one at Canal Brewing in Shinagawa would be ideal. Even I am starting to want a drink today.
