Teenage Brewing’s “Disk Echo” Tapped at NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro
At NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, the imperial stout “Disk Echo” from Saitama’s Teenage Brewing has been tapped. In cans, “SHOHEI Zen IPA” and “Disk Echo” have also arrived, widening the guest beer lineup.
Hop BroAt NAMACHA'n Stand in Kita-Ikebukuro, Teenage Brewing's Disk Echo is on tap. And it's their first imperial stout, so they're really bringing the heat.
MugiWhat! Just hearing imperial stout makes it sound dark and powerful! And with coffee in it too, it already feels like night before I even take a sip!
Hop BroExactly. And it's 11.0% ABV. This is Teenage Brewing's second collaboration with ONIW COFFEE, and it builds on coffee aroma while going all-in on a deep, powerful flavor.
MugiWhat is that, is double mash some kind of magic spell? If you mash twice, does the beer suddenly get smarter?
Hop BroNice one. It's a brewing method that creates a full-bodied character and really draws out the malt's flavor. That's why it doesn't end up thin on the palate, and why it gets that sturdy black-beer depth.
MugiWow! And the flavor being described as the depth of cacao and acidity like ripe fruit sounds so dark, stylish, and complex! Is this basically a dessert beer?
Hop BroPretty much. It doesn't lean too sweet, and it's for people who want a bold, substantial flavor. As it warms up, it seems like it would keep changing character.
MugiAnd it came in cans too!? If I can take home SHOHEI Zen IPA and Disk Echo, that's the kind of beer I sip little by little before bed!
Hop BroRight, the nice part is that it's not just available on tap, but the cans have arrived too. You can go light and crisp with the IPA, or sink into Disk Echo slowly, and that's what makes the choice great.
MugiI remember Kita-Ikebukuro now! If they open at 4 p.m. on weekdays and noon on weekends and holidays, I can have a drink from midday, and if a guest beer I'm curious about shows up, I'll want to go right away!
Hop BroIt's the kind of place that's fun because you can keep up with these frequent updates. So today, let's go deep with Disk Echo, and next time, maybe cleanse the palate with Zen IPA.
MugiLet's go! I can't stop wanting to drink it right now, and if there are dark, rich beers lined up with a refreshing IPA too, I definitely want to beer-hop!
