Shiga Kogen Beer DPA newly tapped at UNDERGROUND Akabane, noodle POP UP announced for June 14
In a May 30 post, UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane announced that it had newly tapped Shiga Kogen Beer’s DPA (Draft Pale Ale). The shop, which bills itself as Akabane’s “hydration station,” is also promoting a Kiriwo Noodles POP UP event on June 14.
Hop BroA new keg just got tapped at UNDERGROUND Akabane, the beer pub in Akabane. This time it’s Shiga Kogen Beer’s DPA, and it’s a pretty reliable choice on a hot day.
MugiHuh! What even is DPA? It sounds strong, but is it easy to drink?
Hop BroDPA stands for Draft Pale Ale. In other words, it’s a pale ale served on draft, with a fragrance that really comes through but a light, easy drinking feel.
MugiOhhh! With 5.0% alcohol, it sounds perfect as a first pint. Sounds like one you could just keep sipping!
Hop BroExactly. The post described it as refreshing and not the kind of beer you get tired of drinking. On really hot days, this kind of crisp style is a big help.
MugiBut what’s the difference between a pale ale and an IPA? Saying it has a balance of aroma and lightness still feels a little fuzzy to me!
Hop BroIn broad terms, it usually means the bitterness doesn’t run wild as much as in an IPA, and you can enjoy a good balance of malt lightness and hop aroma. Its strength is that it pairs well with food too.
MugiI see! And I kind of love that the shop calls itself Akabane’s hydration station. That makes me want to go on a hot day!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this place has more than 12 draft beers and over 100 bottles. It’s IPA-focused, with a wide range of domestic and international picks, and it’s also great because you can relax and compare beers at your own pace.
MugiWait, that many? And it’s only a 4-minute walk from Akabane Station? Isn’t that almost unfair? I kind of want to live there!
Hop BroWhat’s more, they’re already announcing a noodle POP UP on June 14, which feels very on brand for them. It’s not just beer, because they also make food pairings part of the fun. One pint clearly isn’t enough here.
MugiYeah, having Shiga Kogen Beer’s DPA and noodles waiting too sounds amazing! Now I really, really want to go.
At the beer pub UNDERGROUND Craft Beer Akabane, a four-minute walk from Akabane Station, a May 30 Instagram post announced a new keg had been tapped. This time on tap is Shiga Kogen Beer’s DPA (Draft Pale Ale). With an alcohol content of 5.0%, the post describes it as “a refreshing pint you won’t get tired of drinking.”
On especially hot days, a crisp, easy-drinking pale ale like this is reassuring. DPA balances aroma with a light, clean drinking feel, making it a style that works well as a first pint or alongside food. The post also describes the shop as Akabane’s “hydration station,” and it is striking how it presents the beer as one that suits the season as temperatures rise.
The shop is a craft beer beer pub with more than 12 draft beers and over 100 bottled beers. In addition to a wide selection of domestic and international labels centered on IPAs, its calm location a little away from Akabane Ichibangai is part of its appeal, making it a good choice for days when you want to take your time comparing beers. Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, just right for beer lovers who want to settle in and face each pint one by one.
What’s more, the post also announced a “Kiriwo Noodles POP UP event” for Sunday, June 14. It shows an attitude of making things enjoyable not only through beer but also through food pairings. The way it opens a Shiga Kogen Beer DPA on a hot Saturday and promotes the next event reflects the nimble spirit that feels characteristic of this place.
