Black Tide Brewing's "Sakura" Is Newly Tapped at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae
At "Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae" in Sumida, Tokyo, Black Tide Brewing's "Sakura" was added today as a new tap. A fruit saison that fits the cherry blossom season, it joins a lineup on the in-house taps that ranges widely from wheat to IPA, hazy, and bitter beers.
Hop BroSakura has been newly tapped in Ryogoku-Kuramae. It's a fruit saison from Black Tide Brewing, and it's the perfect beer for early spring.
MugiWait, cherries and hibiscus!? That sounds like a beer you could even enjoy during cherry blossom viewing!
Hop BroExactly. It looks cute too, with that pale pink color, but it still has the spice notes you expect from a saison.
MugiI hear the word saison a lot, but what do you mean by "spice notes"? Is there pepper in the beer?
Hop BroNot always, but yeast-derived aromas can create a pepper-like nuance. When that combines with the sweet-tartness of cherry and the acidity of hibiscus, it really brings out the spring vibes.
MugiWhoa, and the taps are lined up with such a wide range of styles, that's way too dangerous for anyone who loves comparing beers!
Hop BroThat day's lineup had Ishinomaki HOP WORKS's Maki Kaze WHEAT, U.B.P Brewing's Drop Kick and Hazy Celebration, and even OKEY BREWERY's Arakawa HAZY EUREKA! It's a tasting paradise.
MugiWow, having both Hazy IPA and bitter on tap is strong! That's the kind of place where you can choose whether you're in the mood for "hazy today" or "finish with bitterness"!
Hop BroAnd Black Tide Brewing is really good at weaving Kesennuma's scenery and local feel into its names and designs, so you can sense Kesennuma's character too. The BLACK TIDE BREWING TAP TAKEOVER on April 4 is also something to keep an eye on.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink Sakura as my spring beer! Big bro, let's make sure we enjoy the foam too today!
