Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae lists six taps with YMB and WCB
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Sumida, Tokyo posted its latest tap list on Instagram on September 2. The lineup features six beers from four breweries, including Yellow Monkey Brewing, West Coast Brewing, Black Tide Brewing, and Craft Bank.
Hop BroThe big news today is the new 6-tap lineup at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, and honestly, it looks seriously strong.
MugiWait, YMB and WCB too? That is a wild roster for Ryogoku. This feels less like a tap list and more like an incident!
Hop BroAnd GOHOBI IPA is a NZ IPA from Yellow Monkey Brewing, while Starwatcher is a West Coast IPA from West Coast Brewing, so the IPA core is stacked right from the start.
MugiHold on, what is NZ IPA? And now you're throwing in Hazy DIPA too. This suddenly sounds like a spell-casting contest.
Hop BroNZ IPA usually leans on New Zealand hops, so you often get white grape and bright citrus vibes. Hazy DIPA means cloudy and juicy, with more body and a bigger kick too.
MugiOhh! So Black Tide Brewing's Hoya Boya ver. 5.3, plus WCB's The Trial: Pomona and Pineapple Party, all have totally different personalities?
Hop BroExactly. Hoya Boya ver. 5.3 brings soft juicy fruit, The Trial: Pomona is a denser Hazy DIPA, and Pineapple Party is a lighter Session Hazy IPA. Then Craft Bank's 04-KOLSCH shows up as a reset, not an escape.
MugiWhat is that, like the hydration station in the middle of an IPA festival? If I kept getting blasted by hops, I'd probably start applauding by accident.
Hop BroAnd the place is only three minutes from Ryogoku Station on the Oedo Line, with 24 seats and standing room, so even one quick pint works without feeling awkward.
MugiA calm neighborhood spot with that lineup is already good, and then there's an open air brewing TAP TAKEOVER on September 12. The schedule ahead is loaded too?
Hop BroYeah, plus CAN SHARE NIGHT on September 26, a TAP TAKEOVER and second anniversary plan on October 11, and another one on November 7. Right now I want to start with Starwatcher.
MugiI want to open with GOHOBI IPA and finish clean with 04-KOLSCH. I want to head to Ryogoku now because my throat is making plans before my brain is.
