GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS introduces Minami Shinshu Beer's "CHARDONNEY HOP" and "GNZ"
The beer pub "GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS" in Kameido, Tokyo, updated its Instagram to introduce Minami Shinshu Beer's "CHARDONNEY HOP" and "GNZ" as NEW TAP & BOTTLE. The fruit-forward lineup suits a shop where you can enjoy seafood dishes and craft beer together.
Hop BroThe Kameido beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS has brought in a guest release from Minami Shinshu Beer. It’s a shop where seafood and beer go well together, so this is definitely a compelling development.
MugiWhoa! Being able to enjoy beer at a fish and chips place is an absolutely perfect match, isn’t it! So what did they get in?
Hop BroThe lineup introduced as NEW TAP & BOTTLE includes two labels. First is Minami Shinshu Beer’s "CHARDONNEY HOP," a brew made with Chardonnay grape juice.
MugiChardonnay grape juice? Wait, is that like beer with wine in it? I’m super curious because it sounds extra fruity!
Hop BroThat’s a pretty close image. With the Chardonnay grape juice giving it a white-wine-like character, it can come across as fresher and more elegant when combined with hop aroma.
MugiOhh! Even the name sounds stylish, and if I drink it I might feel like I’m having a bit of a wine moment!
Hop BroThe other one, "GNZ," is a Sessions Brewery beer made in collaboration with Kumamoto creative cuisine numa. It has a full-on fruit profile, using peach, mango, dekopon mandarin, and berries.
MugiPeach, mango, mandarin, and berries? That’s basically the fruit basket of the beer world! I can’t even imagine what it tastes like!
Hop BroWith beers like this, it’s not just about sweetness. The key is how the acidity and aroma come forward. The fruit acidity helps cut through the oil from fried fish, so it should pair very well with the shop’s signature dish.
MugiI see, so that’s why it’s fun to pair it with fish and chips! Combinations like this in Kameido make me want to keep coming back!
Hop BroAnd the post also included business hours: open on Saturday the 23rd from 15:00 to 20:00, and closed on Sunday the 24th. The speed of rotation is part of the appeal of guest beers, so if you spot them, it’s best to go early.
MugiI want to go right now and try a fruit-forward glass with some seafood! This is absolutely the kind of thing that makes you want to drink!
