Hop BroToday’s topic is RIOT BEER’s Salvation. Its flagship IPA got a Nitro pour at the brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya on June 22.
MugiWhat, a Nitro IPA? I was picturing some giant fizzy monster. What makes it different?
Hop BroNitro means it’s poured with nitrogen instead of CO2, so the foam gets finer and the mouthfeel turns smoother. Same Salvation, different personality.
MugiWhoa! But IPA usually means bitter to me, so does that smooth mouthfeel really work with it?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Salvation has citrus-hop aroma, solid malt character, and a measured bitterness, so Nitro rounds it out without wiping out the backbone.
MugiHold on, what even is malt character? That’s not just a tournament happening inside your beer brain, right!?
Hop BroIt’s the bready kind of richness from the malt. Think of it as the base that catches all the flashy hop aroma so it doesn’t go wild.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And if RIOT BEER usually has around 10 taps going, comparing Salvation with the others sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroExactly. It’s a calm brewpub near Soshigaya-Okura, and on June 22 they listed 3 PM to 9 PM, which is perfect for a casual stop after work.
MugiA neighborhood spot serving that? Unfair! Just thinking about the velvety fine foam is making me thirsty already.
Hop BroAnd now I’ve got a side-by-side tasting itch. I want the regular and Nitro versions together just to see how much softer it gets.
MugiYou say that like science, but that is absolutely just thirst. I also need a pint right now. Let’s run to RIOT BEER!
On June 22, RIOT BEER, a brewpub in Kinuta, Setagaya, opened Salvation in a Nitro version. The post also listed service hours from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., making it a same-day tap update for the brewery's Monday lineup.
According to RIOT BEER's official beer lineup, Salvation is the brewery's flagship IPA. It is built around citrus-forward hop aroma, a solid malt backbone, and a firm but balanced bitterness. In Nitro form, the beer should show a finer foam texture and a smoother mouthfeel, giving the familiar IPA a different, softer impression while keeping the hop character up front.
RIOT BEER operates as a brewpub in the Soshigaya-Okura area and regularly serves around 10 beers on tap. That makes it a place where you can compare the house IPA with whatever else is pouring that day. Its setting in a quieter residential part of Setagaya also suits a brewery where the focus is on fresh beer served close to the source.
