CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi taps Tsugaru wit, sets 7th anniversary event for July 31
CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, a beer pub in the basement at 5-1-5 Roppongi, shared its July 29 tap update. The new pour is Tsugaru's Tsugaru no Megumi Wit, and the venue also announced its 7th anniversary 'Small Summer Festival' starting on July 31.
Hop BroRoppongi's Craft Beer Anton Bee has a fun update today: on July 29 they tapped Tsugaru no Megumi Wit, and tomorrow, July 31, their 7th anniversary event, Small Summer Festival, kicks off.
MugiWait, so it's basically anniversary eve energy? And today's new tap is Tsugaru no Megumi Wit? That name already sounds refreshing!
Hop BroExactly. It's a local wheat wit from Tsugaru, a Belgian wit style, but built with no added spices and still keeping that breezy wit character.
MugiHold on, no-spice setup? What is that! It sounds like somebody forgot the seasoning!
Hop BroNope, not forgotten. Belgian wit often uses orange peel and coriander, but this one skips them and lets the soft wheat and easy-drinking body lead.
MugiOhhh, so it's a soft, airy mouthfeel kind of beer, the one you can gulp on a hot day. Sneaking a little Tsugaru into Roppongi is unfair!
Hop BroAnd the tap list runs from Pineapple Cider to Porter, with LOCOMOTION IPA, MINAWA Juicy IPA, a summer mikan sour, and more. That's basically a fridge doing festival cosplay.
MugiWhat is this, a ten-tap traffic jam? My brain is foaming already, and then they add simmered gizzards and eggs in garlic-chive miso?
Hop BroAnd the simmered chicken gizzards come chilled with red wine and rosemary notes, while the miso-marinated eggs are the quick snack that can keep up with the beer.
MugiSmall Summer Festival is a tiny-name huge-content situation! A place where regulars help prep the party sounds like the best kind of neighborhood chaos.
Hop BroPlus the weekday hours run 5 p.m. to midnight, so I'd start with Tsugaru no Megumi Wit, then wander into IPA and sour territory once the mood hits.
MugiThat settles it. I want miso eggs and one more while we toast the anniversary. This article made me thirsty on sight!
