Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke Adds Two New Taps on July 24
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke posted its tap list for July 24 on Instagram. The new additions are Grampa's Steam / California Common from Shiokaze Blue Lab and ORCA / Natsumikan Pale Ale from Himitsu Beer.
Hop BroToday's July 24 tap update is a good one. Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke just put two new beers on tap.
MugiWhat! Two fresh tappings? That is absolutely the kind of news that raises my heartbeat. Which beers are they?
Hop BroFirst, from Chiba's Shiofuu Blue Lab, Grampa's Steam, a California Common. The other is ORCA from Mie's Himitsu Beer, a Natsumikan Pale Ale.
MugiWait, what? California Common already sounds advanced. I feel like I'd look like a regular before I even order.
Hop BroHere's the thing, it's a classic beer style. Put simply, it's the kind of beer with a nice balance of toasty character and clean finish, so the style name already hints at the direction.
MugiOhhh! Then Natsumikan Pale Ale sounds like I can expect a bright summer-citrus vibe, right? My throat is reacting to the name alone.
Hop BroThat's basically it. The name suggests Japanese citrus, so it's easy to imagine a lighter aromatic profile, and it makes side-by-side tasting easier to plan.
MugiA Chiba beer and a Mie beer, on the same day in Akasaka? That's ridiculously strong after-work detour energy.
Hop BroAnd the bar is in a basement in Akasaka, so it's easy to get to. Following the daily tap updates and picking by mood is exactly what this place is good at.
MugiI've decided: I want both pours. One for a thoughtful sip, and one for a full-on 'summer is here!' moment.
Hop BroThat is the right move. A tasting comparison wins here, because the California Common's classic edge and the Natsumikan Pale Ale's bright feel both sound perfect today.
MugiThen it's settled, meet at Akasaka-Mitsuke. The second I see that tap list, I'm definitely smiling before the first sip.
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke shared its tap list for July 24 on Instagram, and highlighted two new additions. The newly tapped beers are No. 4, Grampa's Steam / California Common from Shiokaze Blue Lab in Chiba, and No. 14, ORCA / Natsumikan Pale Ale from Himitsu Beer in Mie.
The post makes it clear that these are the fresh taps of the day, and it also lists the beer style and prefecture alongside each name. That gives drinkers a straightforward way to choose: one beer is a California Common, while the other is a Natsumikan Pale Ale with a citrus-forward name that stands out immediately.
The venue itself is a beer pub located in the basement level of a building in Akasaka, Minato City, making it an easy stop around the Akasaka-Mitsuke area. As a downtown beer spot, it works well for checking the latest tap changes and ordering by the day’s lineup rather than by a fixed menu.
In this update, the focus is on two breweries with different regional backgrounds and different beer styles. For anyone following tap rotations in central Tokyo, this is the kind of post worth checking before heading out.
