CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi lines up 16 taps ahead of its 7th anniversary
CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi previewed a 16-tap lineup on July 30 ahead of its 7th-anniversary event, Small Summer Festival, running from July 31 to August 2. The board spans session IPA, lager, cider, and sour styles.
Hop BroTonight's topic is CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi. On the eve of its Little Summer Festival starting July 31, it unveiled 16 taps for the 7th anniversary.
MugiWhat! 16 draft taps? That's harder than picking festival snacks, and this is only the pre-party?
Hop BroEven the seven newly opened today are stacked: Gigantic's Wonder Crusher is a session IPA, Yokohama Bay's Tag Lager is there, and Isekadoya's Brown Ale too, so it runs from light to full-bodied.
MugiWait, what is a session IPA? It sounds like a beer for office meetings!
Hop BroNot that kind of session. It means a lower-alcohol IPA with the hop aroma still there, so you can keep chatting and sipping without getting wiped out.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds perfect for the first glass. And names like Oni Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale Strata and Vernish's Shine are intimidating in the best way!
Hop BroThen you've got Minoh's Plum Gose, Noble's Pineapple Cider, and Ushitora's Kiraboshi Summer Mikan Sour. They've covered the fruity side too, so even non-hop-heads can jump in.
MugiGose? That's a boss-battle sounding style. Is it a beer or a spell?
Hop BroA beer, thankfully. Gose has a gentle salty tang and some acidity, and plum makes it pop brighter, basically a salty tart refreshing combo for a summer festival eve.
MugiSo it's in the basement at Roppongi 5-1-5, and the festival runs from July 31 to August 2? If they even have anniversary toast bottles, I'm in: session IPA first, cider second!
Hop BroThat plan works. With weekday opening at 5 p.m. and food until 11, it's basically a one-stop beer mission. I'd start with Wonder Crusher and finish with the summer mikan sour.
MugiThat sounds perfect! I want to toast right now. You take the beer lane, I'll take the cider lane, and then we meet in the middle for the Plum Gose!
