The beer pub Bar Malt Road in Kanda, Tokyo, has published its tap list for May 30. Newly added are Czech Sibeeria Bohemian Helles and Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA from the U.S., bringing the lineup to seven draft beers including Kanda Ale 2026, London Pride, and Saison Dupont.
Hop BroBar Malt Road in Kanda has put out its tap list for May 30. There are two new beers on tap today, and the lineup is really strong.
MugiWhoa, two new taps! That's enough to get me excited already, and there are seven beers in Kanda?
Hop BroThere are. The highlight is Bohemian Helles from Sibeeria Brewery in the Czech Republic, with a gentle aroma from Saaz hops and a bready grain character.
MugiSaaz hops, huh! Even bready grain character? Beer descriptions are getting way too delicious.
Hop BroSaaz is a classic Czech hop. Its bitterness is elegant and not harsh. In other words, it's crisp and easy to drink, while still keeping the malt's flavor.
MugiI see! So the other new one, Firestone Walker's Union Jack IPA, is a grapefruit-y, punchy kind of beer?
Hop BroExactly. As a West Coast IPA, it puts citrus and pineapple aromas up front, then finishes with a sharp, clean bitterness.
MugiNice. But are there more? Kanda Ale 2026, London Pride... just the names make it sound like a tasting showdown is about to start!
Hop BroThat's right. Saison Dupont, KEIKA, and Hideji Beer Kuri Kuro are all on the list too, so you can choose according to your mood, from light lagers to dark beers.
MugiAnd if they've got homemade quiche, beer-braised beef tendon, and tomato pizza too, then tonight we're meeting in Kanda. My throat is already waiting for the taps to open!
