Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji taps OUR BREWING anniversary collab
Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji introduced an 11th-anniversary collaboration beer brewed with OUR BREWING. The NZ Pilsner, Eleven To Eleven, is described as bright, crisp, and aromatic, with white-grape and tropical notes.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh tapping in Kichijoji worth talking about. As an 11th anniversary collab, Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji teamed up with OUR BREWING on Eleven To Eleven, and it’s an NZ Pilsner.
MugiWait, NZ Pilsner? What is that supposed to be? A pilsner that suddenly booked a flight to New Zealand?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a pilsner driven by New Zealand hops, and Eleven To Eleven gives you white grape and fresh grass on the nose, even a pineapple-like tropical note, while the sip stays light and crisp.
MugiNo way! White grape aroma makes it sound like they dumped fruit in the tank. They didn’t, right? My brain just slipped on a peel.
Hop BroNo fruit added, just smart hop design. With Motueka and Riwaka, plus Mega Motueka and Citra, it lands at 5.5% ABV and 23.6 IBU, so it’s aromatic without turning into a bitterness ambush.
MugiHold on, 23.6 IBU sounds weirdly specific, like beer took a math quiz. What does that number even mean?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness yardstick. At 23.6, it shouldn’t hit like a hop brick. The brewers also mentioned adding Riwaka in the whirlpool, so the aroma was already showing up before dry hopping.
MugiWhirlpool? A beer jacuzzi? Please tell me nobody is giving the lager a spa treatment.
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but it’s just a hot-side step for pulling out aroma from the hops. They also used Pilsen malt, Fukui-grown six-row barley malt, and Nova Lager yeast to keep the body clean but not flimsy.
MugiOkay, now I’m interested. And if it’s directly connected to Atre Kichijoji, pairing it with casual French food sounds dangerously easy. Fries, pate, I’m in trouble.
Hop BroExactly. It’s built to work with food, and the pub even has party plans with up to 30 beers, so it fits everything from pre-drinks to round two. Honestly, I want a pint right now.
MugiSame here, I’m fully sold. I want to toast the 11th anniversary with Eleven To Eleven, chase that white-grape note, and immediately plan the next round.
An anniversary collaboration
Craft Beer Market Atre Kichijoji shared its 11th-anniversary beer, Eleven To Eleven, brewed in collaboration with OUR BREWING. The beer is a New Zealand Pilsner.
