BEER SPACE on Tap in Kobe Motomachi has tapped KUNITACHI BREWERY’s micro IPA “Shirokujichu.” The 3% beer won bronze at the 2024 International Beer Cup, and the lineup also includes beers from FUKUOKA CRAFT, Minoh Beer, and BLACK TIDE.
Hop BroOver in Kobe Motomachi, Beer Space Ontap just put KUNITACHI BREWERY's Shirokujichu on tap.
MugiWait, the name already sounds like an all-day beer! And a 3% micro IPA is still an IPA?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A micro IPA keeps the hop character while staying low-ABV, and this one still drinks with real body. Low alcohol, real payoff.
MugiYou're doing beer engineering again! Also, hop aroma and dry finish sounds like chemistry class.
Hop BroBasically, it smells like passion fruit and mango with a floral edge, and it finishes crisp instead of sweet. Plus toasty malt underneath keeps it from tasting watery.
MugiWhoa, at 3% that's packed with flavor. Tropical fruit, flowers, berries, toast... and a 2024 bronze medal too?
Hop BroYep, it won bronze at the International Beer Cup. Great first pint, great long-night pint. And today's tap list is stacked.
MugiWhat else is pouring? I'm ready to overreact professionally. But if Hazy Wave is almost gone, I will sprint.
Hop BroThey've got FUKUOKA CRAFT's Lemon Ale, Minoh Beer's Hoppy Weizen, BLACK TIDE's KESENNUMA PRIDE, Repubrew's Mr.GREEN TACKLE N2Ver., and SORACHI 1984 too. Choice overload is real.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. In Motomachi, that lineup turns one quick drink into three, easy.
Hop BroIt's in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel, and the whole vibe sounds relaxed and easygoing. There's even a Japan vs Tunisia live broadcast at noon on June 21, and now I want Shirokujichu first.
MugiSame! And if Hazy Wave is still there, I'm chasing that too. At this point take me to Ontap right now!
New tap: “Shirokujichu”
At BEER SPACE on Tap in Motomachi, Kobe, KUNITACHI BREWERY’s `Shirokujichu` has been added as a new tap. The beer is a 3% micro IPA and won a bronze medal at the 2024 International Beer Cup.
According to the post, it is a beer that goes beyond the usual expectation of a light low-alcohol pour. The aroma leans tropical, with notes reminiscent of passion fruit and mango, alongside a floral edge and a subtle berry nuance. The palate is described as dry rather than watery, with bread- and toast-like malt character and a pleasant bitterness holding the whole beer together.
Today's on Tap
The tap list also includes `FUKUOKA CRAFT / Lemon Ale`, `Repubrew / Mr.GREEN TACKLE (N2Ver.)`, `BLACK TIDE / KESENNNUMA PRIDE`, `Minoh Beer / Hoppy Weizen`, `SORACHI 1984`, and `BLACK TIDE BREWING / Hazy Wave`. The post notes that `Hazy Wave` and `SORACHI 1984` are close to kicking.
A laid-back beer pub in Kobe
The bar is located in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel, making it an easy stop in the Motomachi area.
