Green Neighbors and Minoh on Two Taps at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido
The beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido posted details of its NEW TAP & REAL ALE lineup on May 11. Green Neighbors Hard Cider's "ALL 18 Varieties of Apples" and Minoh Beer's "STOUT" have arrived, offering a lineup that pairs well with seafood dishes.
Hop BroThis time, Kameido's NEW TAP & REAL ALE update is at "GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS." Since it's a place designed for drinking with seafood, you really don't want to miss info like this.
MugiWow! It sounds delicious just from the name, but is a fish and chips shop really that strong on beer too?
Hop BroIt is. Of course, the signature is fish and chips. Add Green Neighbors' hard cider, "ALL 18 Varieties of Apples," and the fruitiness helps cut through the oil in a really nice way.
MugiEighteen varieties of apples? That's a lot of information. Does that mean it's an 18-apple blend?
Hop BroThat's an easy way to think about it. Even though it says cider, it's not a soft drink here. It's hard cider - in other words, alcohol made by fermenting apples.
MugiOh, I see! So even though it sounds sweet, it's definitely alcohol. That crisp, lively mouthfeel sounds like a great first drink!
Hop BroThe other one is Minoh Beer's STOUT. It has the roasty character you'd expect from a dark beer, with aroma and a calm profile living side by side.
MugiI always thought dark beer would be bitter, but when you say roasty character, it makes me think of coffee and makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. That aroma comes from the roasted malt, and it's great with fried foods. The saltiness of fish and chips and the toasty potatoes are both nicely supported by the stout.
MugiI get it, so the food and the glass don't clash with each other. A back-and-forth between beer and food sounds fun!
Hop BroRight. GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a place whose strength lies in being a small beer pub, rather than in flash. It's the kind of place where you can stop by after work and pair today's taps with seafood.
MugiWow, now I'm hungry. Today feels like a day to compare cider and stout in Kameido!
GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, in Kameido, Koto City, Tokyo, is a small beer pub centered around a counter, built around fish and chips and craft beer. The interior has an easygoing atmosphere that makes it comfortable to drop in without fuss, whether for a drink after work or a pint alongside a meal.
In the May 11 post, two labels were introduced as "NEW TAP & REAL ALE." One was Green Neighbors Hard Cider's "ALL 18 Varieties of Apples." It is a cider with apple-derived fruitiness, and a bottle that suggests a crisp, lively mouthfeel. The other was Minoh Beer's "STOUT." It should offer the roasty character typical of a dark beer and a calm, easy-drinking profile, and it also seems like a good match for fried foods.
As the name suggests, the shop's signature dish is fish and chips. When cider and stout are added to the mix, the salty fish, the crisply fried potatoes, and each beer's character connect beautifully. Rather than being a place that focuses only on beer, it is one to remember as a spot where you can enjoy the back-and-forth between food and glass.
When you're wondering where to start your first drink in Kameido, a tap update like this at a small beer pub is reassuring. Its appeal lies more in the shop's scale and its solid lineup than in flash. Drop in casually and pair today's taps with fish and chips. It's the kind of place that suits exactly that kind of visit.
