PUB Karr in Kyoto lists Kyoto Brewing and FLORA FERMENTATION taps
PUB Karr, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Kawaramachi-Rokkaku area, posted its June 23 tap update. The lineup includes a new FLORA FERMENTATION coffee-cherry dunkel, plus two Kyoto Brewing beers and three more pours.
Hop BroKyoto has a perfect after-work story today: PUB Karr's fresh tap list is up for June 23, and they're opening at 6 p.m. with five beers on.
MugiWait, five beers on tap? At that Kawaramachi-Rokkaku beer pub? That sounds dangerously easy to "accidentally" walk into!
Hop BroThe headliner is FLORA FERMENTATION's Cascara, a coffee-cherry dunkel made with cascara selected by 2050coffee.
MugiWhat is that! Coffee cherry skin? So coffee beans just decided to start a second career in beer?
Hop BroThat's actually pretty close. Cascara means the fruit skin, not the bean itself, so you get roast depth with a subtle fruity nuance from the outer husk.
MugiWhoa, then what's a dunkel? The name alone sounds like a final boss.
Hop BroDunkel is basically a dark German-style beer with toasty malt and a calm, rounded richness. Adding cascara to that is the fun part.
MugiNo way, roast meets fruit skin? My brain is trying to file this under coffee, beer, and mystery at the same time!
Hop BroAnd it isn't alone. You've got Shukyu Muika and Ichigo Ichie, plus FLORA FERMENTATION's Utsurobone and even Asahi Maruefu.
MugiAnd you get records and music with it, right? That city beer-pub mood is already making me picture the first sip.
Hop BroThe stair lights may get a little dim for a bit, but service is normal. Chasing the 6 p.m. first pint almost makes the place sound like a secret hideout.
MugiThat's it, then. Tonight I want Cascara as pint one, and after that I'm going straight for the Kyoto Brewing taps!
PUB Karr, on the second floor of Anraku Building off Haramachi-dori Rokkaku in Kyoto, posted its June 23 tap update. The bar opens at 6 p.m., and while it notes a temporary issue with the staircase lights, service continues as usual. It has the feel of a neighborhood beer pub where a pint can be paired with records and a relaxed late-evening stop.
The new arrival is FLORA FERMENTATION’s Coffee Cherry Dunkel. The post says it uses cascara, the dried outer skin of coffee cherries selected by 2050coffee, which suggests a beer with roasty depth and a subtle fruit-skin character. For beer drinkers, it is a notable example of a brewery working with ingredients beyond the usual range.
Tap list:
- Kyoto Brewing Shukyu 6 Days
- Kyoto Brewing Ichigo Ichie
- FLORA FERMENTATION Cascara
- FLORA FERMENTATION Utsurobone
- Asahi Maruef
The lineup mixes two Kyoto Brewing staples, two FLORA FERMENTATION beers, and a familiar Asahi option, so the bar offers both discovery and an easy first round. It is a practical stop for anyone looking for craft beer in central Kyoto.
