Craft Beer Market Kanda Announces Three New Guest Beer Taps
Craft Beer Market Kanda announced three new guest beers: Himitsu Beer’s Samatale, VOYAGER BREWING IPA, and Repubrew’s Coastal Crush Hazy IPA. The lineup offers an easy comparison of hop-forward styles at a casual beer pub in Kanda.
Hop BroKanda is dangerous today. Craft Beer Market Kanda just put on three new taps, and you can compare Himitsu Beer, VOYAGER BREWING, and Repubrew in one stop.
MugiWhat! three fresh kegs at once? My brain is already holding a draft meeting on which pint goes first!
Hop BroFirst up is Himitsu Beer's "Sametare" from Mie. It's an extra hoppy ale built with Citra, Krush, Galaxy, and Vic Secret, basically an aroma-first attack.
MugiWait, what is an extra hoppy ale? That sounds like somebody put hops on a gym program. How is it different from a regular ale?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it pushes hop aroma and definition further forward. Sametare is dry and clear, so it hits hard without leaving the finish heavy.
MugiOoh! Sametare sounds like a boss battle, but it actually drinks sharp and clean. As long as it doesn't jump out like a shark movie, I'm in!
Hop BroNext is VOYAGER BREWING IPA from Wakayama. This one's about straight-up hop character, perfect when you want classic IPA energy with no tricks.
MugiI like that! Having a classic IPA lane makes the comparison easier. My tongue is about to start grading everybody on a curve!
Hop BroThen there's Repubrew's "Coastal Crush Hazy IPA" from Shizuoka. It leads with tropical aroma but is designed not to drag sweetness across the finish.
MugiHold on, a hazy IPA that's not too heavy? That name already sounds like a tropical cloud vacation in a glass!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. Hazy styles spread aroma softly and feel smoother on the palate. At Kanda you can compare them side by side, so the hop differences really pop.
MugiThat rules! A post-work pint is how it starts, and five minutes later I'm running a serious hop research club at the table.
Hop BroI can absolutely see that. We start with Sametare, move to VOYAGER, then finish on Repubrew for a three-beer hop trip. After reading this, I just want to drink them.
New guest taps
