BOUCHON CRAFTCOMPANY in Akebonobashi Publishes Latest Tap List, 12 Beers Including SIBEERIA
The beer pub BOUCHON CRAFTCOMPANY in Sumiyoshicho, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, has shared its latest beer list on Instagram. The lineup spans everything from SIBEERIA's NE DIPA and Barleywine to domestic HAZY IPA, plus standards like Pilsner and Weissbier.
Hop BroAkebonobashi's BOUCHON CRAFTCOMPANY has put out its latest tap list on Instagram. It's only 40 seconds on foot from the station, so this is no longer a detour, it's the destination.
MugiWait, 40 seconds on foot!? That's way too close! And 12 beers lined up? This is the kind of place that's fun before you even choose!
Hop BroThe first things that catch your eye are two SIBEERIA beers: RAINTOWN is a NE DIPA, and Nostalgie 70S is an American Barleywine. Both are built to bring out the thickness of the malt and the presence of the hops.
MugiWhat's a NE DIPA? That sounds like a spell! When you say things like malt thickness, it already sounds delicious, but I still want to know what it actually is~.
Hop BroRoughly speaking, a NE DIPA is a hazy, rich IPA that tends to emphasize juiciness. Barleywine uses a lot of malt, so the sweetness and depth are rich, which makes it interesting to sip slowly.
MugiI see, so it's basically a slow-sipping beer! And with names like GRANDLINE BREWING and OKEI BREWERY, it already sounds exciting!
Hop BroWhat's great is that they've also got a solid hazy selection. Since there's also a West Coast IPA like BasquelandBrewing's SCORPION BAY, the lineup lets you play around depending on whether you want aroma or crispness.
MugiWait, wait, saying crispness like that is basically a drinking pun!? It's too much of a tasting paradise for my brain to keep up!
Hop BroThe domestic lineup is strong too, with MINOH BEER's Osaru IPA, Johana Beer's La France, and Double Vision's Snake Pit all on tap. In particular, Distant Shores Brewing's Saku no Yoru is introduced as No. 1 at the Japan Brewers Cup, so dark beer fans won't want to miss it.
MugiWhoa, if it's No. 1, I feel like I have to drink it! And rich dark beer sounds perfect for a cold night!
Hop BroThe final regulars are FULLERS's LONDON PRIDE, Paulaner Weissbier, and SAPPORO's Edelpils, so the classic lineup is solid too. It's exactly the kind of place for a night of eating well and working your way through different styles one by one.
MugiWow, if there's food too, that's the best. Let's make this tonight's first stop, and have a toast before we think about anything else!
