Yonezawa Jacks Brewery's Shirataka Cascade Pilsner Tapped at Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, 19L Keg-Emptying Prize Campaign Also Starts

Hop BroAt Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, Shirataka Cascade Pilsner has been tapped. It's a guest beer from Yonezawa Jacks Brewery, and just having a Yamagata place name in the beer already makes me excited.
MugiWhoa! A pilsner with Cascade in the name sounds pretty powerful! What's different from an ordinary pilsner?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. You get the clean, crisp drinkability of a pilsner, with the shape of Cascade hop aroma and bitterness layered on top. It tends to bring out a citrusy brightness, so it has a little individuality within a familiar style.
MugiHuh! But if you suddenly talk about the shape of the hops, that sounds kind of scary! Does having defined contours mean it's rough when you drink it?
Hop BroNo, no, it doesn't mean the mouthfeel turns into a rock. Here it means the flavor impression isn't blurry, and the bitterness and aroma are clearly noticeable. Drinking it at DRY-DOCK, it sounds like the kind of beer that leaves an impression even after a post-work pint.
MugiI see! And Shimbashi DRY-DOCK is a beer pub under the elevated tracks, right? That sounds romantic, like drinking while listening to the trains go by!
Hop BroExactly. The first floor is standing room only, the second floor has table seating, and it's fine for just a quick drink or for settling in over a few beers. That unpretentious feel suits a place where beer is the star.
MugiWait, there's even a campaign!? A 19L keg-emptying prize sounds like a challenge has already begun just from the name!
Hop BroIf you empty an Asahi Super Dry 19L keg, you can get three historical coasters at random. The campaign runs from May 18 to June 18, and the idea of about three winners a day makes it feel like something worth aiming for.
MugiWow, that makes me want to go there! It sounds fun to chase guest beers, and I want the coasters too. Now I really want to make a detour to Shimbashi tonight!
Hop BroRight? Places like this leave a memory with every glass. I want to slowly savor Shirataka Cascade Pilsner under those elevated tracks too.
MugiI want to go too! When I hear a drink in Shimbashi, it makes me want to pull my post-work self out the door already!
