Tamsan to Hold June 20 7th Anniversary Event with YYG Brewing Beer 'Jet'
Tamsan, a beer pub in Tomigaya, Tokyo, will hold its 7th anniversary event on Saturday, June 20. The anniversary beer, made with YYG Brewing, is 'Jet,' a 5% Amasa Session IPA that will be available on tap and in cans.
Hop BroI want to talk about Tamusan's 7th anniversary event today. It's happening on June 20, and they're going all in with a special anniversary beer too.
MugiWait, really? I thought Tamusan did anniversary stuff in summer, but this year it's in June? That somehow makes me weirdly excited!
Hop BroThat's the smart part: they moved it up to avoid the heat. Their first business day was June 19, 2019, and while they usually do this in July or August, this time they're keeping it earlier and easier to enjoy.
MugiOooh, and that beer name is intense! The anniversary beer "๗Jet" sounds like something that launches my mood straight into orbit.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It's a collab brew with YYG Brewing, a sweet summer orange Session IPA at 5% ABV, and the name comes from the Thai word for seven, "jet."
MugiHold on, what is a Session IPA? You dropped that like it was obvious, but my brain just clocked out. Is it super bitter? Super heavy?
Hop BroBasically, it's an easy-drinking IPA. You still get the hop aroma, but at 5% it's lighter and built so you can enjoy a few glasses with food without getting wiped out.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! But it also has lemongrass and kaffir lime in it? This beer is starting to sound like it got recruited by a Thai kitchen.
Hop BroAnd they even add a touch of chili with the hops. The idea is to swap the lime-style brightness you get in Thai food and drinks for seasonal amanatsu, then tie Japanese and Thai elements into one glass.
MugiThat sounds so good. And if it's available both on tap and in cans, I can drink one there and still bring the afterglow home with me.
Hop BroIt gets better: from 11:00 a.m. there's Thai food from the start, plus three donuts from My Picnic Donut and a Red Velvet anniversary cake from Early Bird Morning Club. This is not a one-drink situation.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. Start me with beer and donuts, finish me with cake, and then pour one more. June 20 in Tomigaya sounds exactly right.
7th Anniversary Event on June 20
Tamsan, a beer pub in Tomigaya, Tokyo, will host its 7th anniversary event on Saturday, June 20. In the post, the venue says its first service day was June 19, 2019, and notes that the anniversary celebration, which used to be held in July or August, is being moved to June this year to avoid the summer heat. The timing should make it easier to enjoy the anniversary beer before midsummer arrives.
The Anniversary Beer: "Jet"
The featured beer is "Jet," brewed in collaboration with YYG Brewing. It is a 5% Amasa Session IPA. The name comes from the Thai word for the number seven, "เจ็ด" (Jet), tying the beer directly to the 7th anniversary. According to the post, the recipe replaces the lime commonly used in Thai food and drinks with seasonal Amasa, then layers in lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, a small amount of chili, and hops. The result is presented as a light, refreshing IPA that brings together Japanese and Thai flavors. It will be served both on tap and in cans.
Food Alongside the Beer
The event will also include Thai food from 11:00, plus three donuts from My Picnic Donut and a Red Velvet anniversary cake from Early Bird Morning Club. For a Tokyo neighborhood beer pub, the lineup suggests a day built around beer, food, and dessert rather than beer alone.
