CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi Opens 10 Kegs on GW Opening Day, Including Ise Kadoya and Deschutes
CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi announced a lineup of 10 draft beers for business on May 2, the first day of Golden Week. The selection ranges widely, from Ise Kadoya's Italian Pils and Hazy IPA to Bootstrap, Burnish, and Deschutes black beer.
Hop BroOn the first day of Golden Week in Roppongi, opening 10 kegs at once is pretty hot. CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi is coming in with a lineup that works from noon.
MugiWait, 10 kegs!? A place that opens from noon for drinking already has me mentally on vacation!
Hop BroThe main attraction is definitely the Black Butte Porter. It's Deschutes' black beer, and the post says it's light and easy to drink, so even though it has roast character, it's not the heavy kind.
MugiA porter that's light!? I thought black beer meant big and heavy. That's way more surprising than I expected!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It has the aroma and toasty character of roasted malt, but the body is kept lighter, so it feels like a smooth-drinking black beer.
MugiWow, I like that you can choose based on your mood! And an Italian pils sounds cool and stylish too!
Hop BroIse Kadoya's Memory Bouquet is the kind of Italian pils that has crispness and lets you enjoy hop aroma. And with DDH Citra Hazy IPA there too, hop aroma fans are in for a treat.
MugiHey, what's DDH!? DDH Citra sounds like a spell, and my head is getting all floaty!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hopping. Instead of adding hops during the boil, hops are added later to greatly boost the aroma. That's why it pairs so well with Hazy IPA.
MugiGot it, it's like a spell that amplifies aroma! If they have sours and ciders too, then today could go well with something sweet and tart!
Hop BroExactly. They've got Burnish's Blue Raz Gelato, Tekikaka's cider, and even NARA's Belgian white, so you can go from something light and lively to black beer and everything in between. Golden Week is open from 2 p.m. from May 2 through May 6, so the reason to drink in Roppongi is pretty strong.
MugiIt's decided! On this warm holiday break, I want to try one glass at a time at that underground beer pub!
Hop BroAnd in the end, it's really about how impressive the tap lineup is. I'm already getting ready to toast and enjoy the time spent deciding what to drink today.
The beer pub "CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi," located underground at B1F, 5-1-5 Roppongi, released its draft lineup for May 2. In the post, the shop announced it would be open from midday on the first day of Golden Week, when temperatures were rising, and showed a row of 10 taps.
The highlight of the day is Deschutes' Black Butte Porter. The post describes it as "light and easy to drink," suggesting a porter with roast character that is not too heavy on the palate. Other offerings include Ise Kadoya's Memory Bouquet (Italian Pils), DDH Citra Hazy IPA, Bootstrap's Boat Snack (Hazy IPA) and Rush Puppy Juicy IPA, Burnish's One Trick Pony: Blue Raz Gelato (Sour), Tekikaka's Dolgo (Cider), NARA's Philharmonie (Belgian White w/ tachibana), Bootstrap's Chillax Pineapple Gold, and Societe's The Coachman (Session IPA).
With a lineup covering IPA, pilsner, sour, cider, Belgian white, and porter, it is also very much the kind of place where you can easily choose based on your mood, from a light drink to a solid black beer. The post also says new staff will join from May 3, and during Golden Week the shop will be open from 2 p.m. from May 2 through May 6. On weekdays in between, it opens at 5 p.m., while Saturdays are from 2 p.m. and Sundays and holidays from 2 p.m., meeting the demand for daytime drinking.
