Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD (Hamamatsucho, Minato Ward) shared its tap list on Instagram along with information for Friday, April 10. The lineup featured nine beers from Japan and abroad, including VOYAGER's "COPPER" and Minoh Beer's "Sansho W-IPA".
Hop BroToday, Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho put out its April 10 tap list, and it has a pretty lively lineup, with VOYAGER's "COPPER" and Minoh Beer's "Sansho W-IPA" on it.
MugiWhoa! Nine beers from Japan and abroad all at once? The names sound so strong that I'm already overwhelmed before I even order!
Hop BroExactly. It ranges from Ale to Oatmeal Stout, DDH IPA, and DIPA w/Sansho, so the spread of styles is what's interesting. SOUL BIRD is a place where you drink with food, so a lineup that isn't one-note really works.
MugiDDH IPA? The moment those acronyms that sound like a spell show up, my brain starts frothing!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hop, and it's a brewing method that really brings out hop aroma. So a beer like "Take A Hike" is the kind that lets you enjoy a full-on hop-aroma assault.
MugiSo aroma is the star! Then I guess "Sansho W-IPA" would give a prickly kick from the sansho spice? Just imagining it makes me want white rice too!
Hop BroThat's exactly what's interesting. Minoh Beer's "Sansho W-IPA" combines sansho with a DIPA, and the Japanese-style kick should collide deliciously with the IPA bitterness.
MugiThere's even the black "洒落" and Strawberry Whey Sour? Isn't that a total flavor roller coaster? Sweet or sour, my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's where SOUL BIRD is good: after the private event, they say regular service resumes around 9 p.m., so it's a place that shines for an evening drink. It also works well for banquets because it can handle semi-private rooms, full rentals, and even a projector.
MugiThen swinging by after work and choosing while looking at the taps with remaining-volume markers sounds so fun! Whether I finish with a dark beer or go bold with sansho, just deciding feels like the drinking party has already started!
Hop BroExactly. On a day like this, you just want to drink instead of think. It's the kind of night that makes you want a drink at SOUL BIRD - maybe even a second one.
MugiYeah, that's totally the mood! I'm feeling like I want to toast tonight, so I want to set a meetup in front of the taps in Hamamatsucho!
Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD announced its "Today's BEER on TAP" on Instagram on Friday, April 10. The post noted that the shop had a private booking that day and would reopen for regular service around 9 p.m.
As a beer pub in Hamamatsucho, the interior is set up to work well for drinking parties and welcome or farewell parties, with options such as semi-private room bookings, full venue rentals, a projector, and standing reception-style service. From a quick after-work pint to a large gathering, the place's flexibility is one of its defining strengths.
On that day's taps, `★` and `▲` were used as remaining-volume markers, making it easy to tell which kegs were still in good shape for drinking. The beers on the list were as follows:
- `COPPER` / `VOYAGER` - Ale
- `洒落` / `Kyoto Brewing` - Oatmeal Stout
- `もんすたぁ'ズP` / `BREWMIN'` - Pale Ale
- `Hodoku` / `Novoru` - Weizen Bock
- `ストロベリー ホエイサワー` / `サンクトガーレン` - Sour Ale
- `Diamond Lake` / `Burnt Mill` - New Zealand Pale Ale
- `Take A Hike` / `Range × Mountain Culture` - DDH IPA
- `山椒W-IPA` / `箕面ビール` - DIPA w/Sansho
- `Petite Morale` / `Dieu Du Ciel !` - IPA
There was also a new-tap slot marked `🆕` at number 7. From the dark-style `洒落`, to the tart `ストロベリー ホエイサワー`, to the sansho-infused `山椒W-IPA`, each beer had its own distinct personality. It was a tap lineup very much in SOUL BIRD's style, broad enough to enjoy alongside food.
