Umegaoka's 'Neko no Shukaijo' announces six taps, including CRAFTROCK and VERTERE
The beer pub Neko no Shukaijo in Umegaoka, Setagaya Ward, unveiled its current tap list on March 24. It features six beers from CRAFTROCK, Shiga Kogen, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, NOMCRAFT, and Isekado × VERTERE, and cans and bottles can also be enjoyed inside the shop.
Hop BroUmegaoka's six taps at Neko no Shukaijo are a pretty interesting lineup. They've got CRAFTROCK, Shiga Kogen, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, NOMCRAFT, and Isekado × VERTERE all in one place, so just like the shop name says, it makes you want to gather there.
MugiWhoa! Isekado × VERTERE alone sounds strong! But West Coast Pilsner and Grisette are throwing around words I don't know, and my brain is in cat-toy mode!
Hop BroThe thing is, a West Coast Pilsner has a pronounced hop aroma, but it still keeps a crisp, lager-like edge. Something like Mountain Beach is easy to drink while still delivering a solid aroma, so it gives you the best of both worlds.
MugiOhhh! So what is a Grisette? I get that it's like a cousin of Saison, but the name sounds a little like it's trying to be fancy in a French movie kind of way!
Hop BroExactly, it's a light Grisette. It tends to bring out the grain's rustic character and a dry finish, and a Fresh Hop Grisette also adds that fresh green hop character. It's the kind of beer you can sip slowly and still feel great with.
MugiWhat is that, spring-like and perfect! And they tried making a new snack menu but put it on hold because they weren't satisfied? That's almost too honest, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the good part. They call it their first-ever mistake, but even with their third anniversary just around the corner, they aren't cutting corners and are reworking it properly. And the nice thing about Neko no Shukaijo is that it's not just beer; you can enjoy spice food plus cans and bottles inside the shop too.
MugiWait, cans and bottles are okay inside the shop too?! That's way too convenient! You can do more than just grab one after work; you can take home the ones you liked!
Hop BroAnd because the hours are 3:00 p.m. to midnight, you can go for an early drink, a second stop, or even a third. You can dive into hops with a Dip Hop IPA like Knight Fisherman, or settle in with a WEISEN DOPPELBOCK and be fully satisfied.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to stop by in Umegaoka! Tonight I'm going to have a drink at Neko no Shukaijo and seriously debate whether to go with CRAFTROCK or VERTERE!
