Nagoya's BEER PUB BRICK LANE lines up eight Totopia taps for Golden Week peak
BEER PUB BRICK LANE announced its Golden Week tap list in a post on May 2. Centered on Totopia Brewery labels, eight beers are lined up, and a Golden Week-limited one-coin mini smash burger is also on offer. For anyone looking for a drink in the Fushimi area over the holiday, this is one to watch.
Hop BroNagoya's BEER PUB BRICK LANE has rolled out a really strong tap list for the main Golden Week run. It's centered on Totopia Brewery with eight beers, and there's even a one-coin mini smash burger.
MugiWhoa! Eight all from Totopia? That's basically a Totopia festival! Names like Keyphobia and Biasphobia sound kind of intense, which makes me excited and nervous!
Hop BroExactly. The eight Totopia Brewery beers on tap were Keyphobia, Biasphobia, Quartzphobia, Boxphobia, Kodamaphobia, Loopphobia, Duskphobia, and Sirenphobia. The fun part about this kind of lineup is being able to taste a brewery's character side by side.
MugiBut what exactly makes a tap list such a big deal? I get that there are a lot of beers, but I still only vaguely understand what to look for when reading it.
Hop BroA tap list is basically a map of the beers you can drink there today. This time there were also "Coming soon..." notices at taps 4 and 10, which makes the rotation-in-progress feel part of the appeal.
MugiI see! So the view changes the moment you walk in. It feels like a place with live energy! And a craft-beer journey using reusable cups is kind of thrilling.
Hop BroThat's what's so BRICK LANE about it. Since it's a street-level shop in Nagoya's Naka Ward, Nishiki area, it's easy to drop by, and you can enjoy beer and burgers at the same time. The GW-limited one-coin burger adds just the right amount of guilty pleasure to daytime drinking.
MugiWow! You can have a burger while drinking beer? That's the ultimate combo. If you can choose from across the counter even on a first visit, I'd feel comfortable too!
Hop BroExactly. And because it has just the right lightness for a first stop on a Golden Week bar crawl, it's an easy starting point for a drinking route. If you're going to work through Totopia, it's a pretty efficient place.
MugiJust reading this makes me thirsty! If we're drinking in Nagoya during Golden Week, let's add a Totopia tasting lineup and a burger and go ourselves!
