Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke updated its tap list on May 15. The new additions are four beers: Hansharo Beer, GROUNDTAP BREWERY, Kyoto Brewing, and MIROC BEER. At the beer pub in the basement of Akasaka-Mitsuke, this lineup lets you compare beers with distinct personalities side by side.
Hop BroThe May 15 update brings four new beers to Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke. Seeing Hansharo Beer, GROUNDTAP BREWERY, Kyoto Brewing, and MIROC BEER all lined up at once is a pretty impressive sight.
MugiWhoa! Four at once!? If that many are on the board, I’d panic trying to figure out which one to start with!
Hop BroStart with Hansharo Beer from Shizuoka, the "Agari Red Lager / Japanese Tea Red Lager." The tea leaves in the recipe give the red lager a really interesting layer, with a gentle tea aroma floating over it.
MugiTea and beer mix together!? Just hearing Japanese-style lager makes my brain turn into a tea ceremony!
Hop BroAnd since we're on lagers, Ehime's GROUNDTAP BREWERY has the "GROUNDTAP LAGER / Light Lager" too. It has an easygoing drinkability for everyday use, so it's the kind of beer that fits perfectly as an after-work pint.
MugiNice! Starting with something light is helpful! But now I’m also curious about a heavier beer next.
Hop BroThen Kyoto Brewing's "Sweet Expectation" is the one to try. It's a Dessert Stout at Alc. 8%, so it has real body, and it's the kind of beer where you can enjoy a sweet, lingering finish.
MugiEight percent alcohol!? So even though it’s called a dessert stout, it looks like a sweet treat on the outside and is very much an adult beer on the inside!
Hop BroAnd MIROC BEER from Kagawa, "Hannya / Red Rye IPA," is interesting too. It has the feel of malt depth colliding with hops, and the rye-derived spice comes through afterward. Tasting all four side by side in a basement beer pub makes for a pretty fun lineup.
MugiIf it’s easy to get to from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, that’s perfect! Today I want to drop in after work and start with the lagers, one by one.
