At Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, a beer pub in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, a tasting set has been introduced that lets you enjoy around three beers by the glass at all times.

Hop BroToday’s topic is the three-beer tasting I found in Ichinomiya. The nice thing about Beer Cellar Ichinomiya is that you can sample guest beers a little at a time, by the glass.
MugiWait, you can drink three kinds at once? That sounds like a blessing for people who can’t choose!
Hop BroAnd since it’s three M-size beers for 1,500 yen, it’s easy to compare them casually. It’s also within walking distance of Meitetsu Myokoji Station, so it’s perfect for dropping by on a whim.
MugiHuh! But what is a Cold IPA? Is it an IPA that’s been chilled really cold?
Hop BroNot quite. It’s an IPA that prioritizes drinkability, with a light mouthfeel and a clean finish. In this case, Hop Kotan’s Tomei Tokkyu fits that style, and it’s the kind you can drink smoothly.
MugiWhat is that, even the name is speeding along! So is Tomei Tokkyu a gulp-it-down kind of beer?
Hop BroExactly. What’s interesting is that it has momentum without feeling heavy. Then there’s Blade Factory Brewing’s Whet Stone and Swan Lake Beer’s Agano Saison too, so there’s a real range of character.
MugiWhen I hear saison, it sounds classy, but honestly I don’t really get it... What does a light saison feel like?
Hop BroSaison is a beer that was originally drunk during breaks from farm work, so it’s aromatic and lively. Agano Saison is crisp yet leaves a pleasant aftertaste, and it’s fun how its expression changes within a tasting set.
MugiOh! And if White Blade Ale is said to have a banana-like flavor, that suddenly makes me curious!
Hop BroRight, this is a place where you can carefully explore the individual character of the beers rather than flashy presentation. If you can choose while talking with the owner and also browse souvenirs, you’ll end up wanting another drink, won’t you?
MugiYeah, I’m already way too excited about the next new keg! I want to drink while comparing them, then go back for one more refill at the end!
