Hop BroAt the beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido, the guest beers have changed. Joto Beer’s "EARL GREY," Minamishinshu Beer’s "DUNKEL WEIZEN," and even DD4D’s "Craft Gelato 4 varieties" are on, so they’re really pushing the lineup, huh?
MugiWhoa, what do you mean 2TAP update? Taps are the beer faucets, right? And just from the names, they already sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly, it means the draft spouts. This time the post was announced as NEW 2TAP, and what’s interesting is that EARL GREY is presented with a tea-like aroma, while DUNKEL WEIZEN is described with an image of banana aroma.
MugiA beer that tastes tea-like... does EARL GREY actually have tea in it? It sounds like a beer that showed up at a tea meeting in a beer suit.
Hop BroThat’s the clever part with Joto Beer: it’s designed to evoke the aroma of Earl Grey. By carefully steering the aroma profile, that tea-like nuance comes through smoothly.
MugiThen what exactly is DUNKEL WEIZEN? Just the name sounds strong, and hearing Weizen makes it feel like German suddenly dropped out of the sky!
Hop BroDunkel means dark, and Weizen means wheat beer. So it’s a dark wheat-style beer with a soft mouthfeel and the richness of roasted malt. On top of that, banana-like yeast aromas come through, making it sweet and easy to drink.
MugiI get it now! And having Craft Gelato 4 varieties too sounds super fun! A beer with gelato in the name is making my brain short-circuit!
Hop BroThat’s very DD4D for you. Lining up different directions of aroma and sweetness makes tasting side by side fun, and the differences in aroma and mouthfeel really stand out.
MugiAnd the place’s signature is fish and chips, right? Pairing herb-battered fish with beer sounds like happiness heading straight at you...!
Hop BroIt’s also great that they opened in 2019 and let you casually enjoy 4 to 5 kinds of domestic craft beer on draft. Building a drink in Kameido around fish dishes and guest beers feels really satisfying.
MugiYeah, this is definitely one of those I want to go right now nights! Start with fish and chips, then EARL GREY, and finish with DUNKEL WEIZEN—wouldn’t that be perfect?
Hop BroDefinitely, it’s perfect for a night of tasting side by side. If you line up herb-battered fish and distinctive guest beers in Kameido, both of you will probably end up wanting to drink so much you won’t want to go home.
