The beer pub Want a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on May 22. The tap list will feature six beers in all, including selections from Ushi Tora Brewery, Be easy Brewing, and Karuizawa Q, plus two collaboration beers with Romantic Village.
Hop BroThe Utsunomiya beer pub Want a Beer is opening for a one-day-only run on May 22, from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. And the tap lineup is only six beers, which is a pretty bold setup.
MugiWait, only six taps and they are going that hard? That makes me even more curious!
Hop BroThe main attraction is Want a Beer’s 5th-anniversary originals, two collaboration brews with Romantic Village. The first one, 'Fresh!!!', is a Fruits Sour Ale made with hand-squeezed juice from five kinds of citrus, and even the name feels super lively.
MugiWhat is that! Hand-squeezed citrus? That sounds like a juice stand. But when you say sour ale, I have no idea what it tastes like!
Hop BroA Fruits Sour Ale puts tartness in the spotlight and brings out the fruit character. The other one, 'SPECIALS', is a Belgian White made with amanatsu, Kiyomi orange, hassaku, mikan, and lemon peel, so it leans toward a bright, fragrant profile.
MugiOhhh! So it is good for comparing side by side. What else is on tap?
Hop BroThe rest are Ushi Tora Brewery’s American IPA 'Adult Can Beer, draft ver.', Be easy Brewing’s Hazy IPA 'Tohoku 6 Hop', and Karuizawa Q’s Irish Red 'Along the Way' and Kolsch 'Tomerigi'. The IPA brings bitterness, the hazy brings juiciness, the red brings malt sweetness, and the Kolsch brings crispness.
MugiWow, it feels like a map of flavors! And since the styles are all different, drinking them in order would feel like a trip for your mouth.
Hop BroThe food is solid too, and the new spring menu is especially strong. From bonito and smoked mackerel carpaccio to spring rolls with hairy crab and asparagus, and even Tosa Akaushi ichibo tagliata, it is the kind of lineup that keeps the beer flowing.
MugiNow I am hungry! If they even have pistachio ice cream, then they have covered everything, and tonight there is nothing left to do but go out for drinks.
