Hop BroThe 4:50 p.m. lineup at Kawasaki Azalea is hot. On April 13, KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer recommended TKBREWING's "#443OnsightESB".
MugiWhoa! #443OnsightESB even has numbers in the name, so it sounds strong! But what is ESB, some kind of spell?
Hop BroIt stands for Extra Special Bitter. This one is all about the balance between malt and hops. At 5.0% alcohol, it lets you enjoy the calm bitterness and toasty character of a traditional British ESB.
MugiOhhh! Bitter but mellow sounds like the honor student of the beer world. And even though it's an ESB, it's not too bitter?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the malt sweetness supports it, so it's not just bitter. For example, the shop also has Tokaido BEER's core lineup, including IPA, Porter, Amber Ale, and Hazy IPA.
MugiWhat! So you can do an 18-beer comparison tasting? If I stop by after work, I'll probably spend 30 minutes just deciding!
Hop BroExactly. And it's not just Tokaido BEER. They also have guest taps like North Alps Brewery, Kyoto Brewing, and Yokohama Beer. It's a place where chasing the rotating kegs is part of the fun.
MugiWait, rotating kegs right in front of Kawasaki Station? That's too convenient! And outside food is okay too? That almost feels suspiciously free!
Hop BroNo need to worry. You can even stop by just for takeout, so it's easy to use even on days when you're not going all out. The appeal is that you can drop in for a quick drink while shopping or on the way home from work.
MugiI love that... it's the happiness of just one light drink. Drinking #443OnsightESB properly or comparing the staples and guest beers both sound great!
Hop BroBottom line: today it's ESB first, then a comparison tasting at KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand. As the guy who runs the place, I'd say a drink on a day like this is first-come, first-served, so my throat is already getting ready ahead of me.
