Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo, announced a tap list themed around "water eggplant season" in a post on April 22. The lineup includes distinct beers such as Shiga Kogen Beer and Hitachino Nest, along with suggestions for what will be tapped next.
Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo, put out a tap list with a "Water Eggplant Season" theme. It is the kind of place that knows how to let people enjoy both the seasonal atmosphere and the rotation of the kegs.
MugiWait, "Water Eggplant Season" and beer?! I thought this was going to be about pickles, but the pub's presentation is way too stylish!
Hop BroThe start lineup is Shiga Kogen Beer's "African Pale Ale," Let's Beer Works' PUPPY LOVE, Sankt Gallen's Yokohama XPA, and Kanpai! Brewing's Jorurizaka Helles.
MugiHold on, that lineup is suddenly packed with jargon like pale ale, XPA, and Helles!
Hop BroIn simple terms, pale ale has a good balance of aroma and bitterness, XPA is a "slightly brighter pale ale," and Helles is a German-style easy-drinking lager.
MugiI see, if it's an easy-drinking lager, I might actually be able to go for that! But just the name "African Pale Ale" makes me feel like I'm heading off on a trip!
Hop BroAnd the beers waiting to be tapped are Hitachino Nest's White Ale, Oni Densetsu Beer's Kinki Pale Ale, Hoppu Kodan Brewing's upopo, and Ushitora's Abe Farm Pear Saison, so the range of character is really broad.
MugiWhat, even a pear saison?! That means the fun of choosing never stops, depending on what kind of beer you feel like today!
Hop BroExactly. Because the lineup runs from light, refreshing styles like White Ale and Saison to a fruit-forward beer, it's interesting just to follow the movement of the kegs. They're open from 15:00 to 22:00 from May 4 to 6, and last orders are at 21:30.
MugiAll right, let's go chase the keg rotation! First round: I'll have the Helles, and you take the African Pale Ale, Hop!
