Beer Pub Ishii lines up jalapeño pickles and four craft beers
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo shared its latest starting lineup, featuring jalapeño pickles alongside four beers from Hitachino Nest, Ushitora Brewery, Let's Beer Works, and Sankt Gallen. The selection leans toward crisp, summery drinking.
Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi just rolled out four summer taps all at once. And with jalapeno pickles on the side, this lineup is clearly trying to make us drink.
MugiWhat! Spicy pickles with craft beer already sounds like a winning combo! What beers are on the board?
Hop BroFirst up is Hitachino Nest's Grapefruit Lager. Just from the name, you expect bright citrus on a clean lager base, which makes it a strong first pour.
MugiOoh, that sounds like the first glass for sure! I heard "grapefruit" and my mouth already feels refreshed.
Hop BroThen there's Ushitora Brewery's Babababa Weizen, a weizen with soft wheat character. The fun part is the yeast-driven esters that float through it.
MugiHold on, yeast-driven esters sounds like you switched from beer talk to chemistry class! Do I need goggles for this pint?
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but think banana-like aroma or soft fruity notes from the yeast. A weizen also has a gentle texture, so it can cushion spicy food really well.
MugiNo way, cushioning the heat is such a heroic job! So if the jalapenos go wild, the beer jumps in like a bodyguard?
Hop BroPretty much. Then you add Let's Beer Works' light feel of meow and the summery vibe of Sankt Gallen's Suika Wheat, and suddenly the whole lineup becomes perfect for comparing styles.
MugiI love that the flavor directions are clearly different! Crisp, soft, playful, and summery all in one stop is dangerously convenient.
Hop BroAnd Beer Pub Ishii is the kind of place where food pairings matter, so bold-edged snacks can bounce off four very different beers in the best way. That's the kind of tap list that gets beer people worked up fast.
MugiThat's it, straight to Sendagi. I want to start with the Grapefruit Lager and make sure I end up drinking the Suika Wheat too!
