CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi Store Features Three Beers Including MATSURI BREWING
In a May 21 post from CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi, MATSURI BREWING's "Koujiko," Shonan Beer’s "Foeder-Aged Beer Grape," and Vector Brewing’s "TOMCAT HAZY IPA" were introduced. The post conveyed the wide range of guest beers that fits Tamachi’s style, with 30 rotating draft beers available each day.
Hop BroToday, the three new kegs at the Tamachi store are hot. At CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi, they lined up MATSURI BREWING’s "Koujiko," Shonan Beer’s "Foeder-Aged Beer Grape," and Vector Brewing’s "TOMCAT HAZY IPA."
MugiWhoa! Three taps opening at once means there’s no way to choose, right? And just from the names, they all sound way too distinctive!
Hop BroFirst, "Koujiko" is a Brut IPA, right? It’s the kind that’s crisp and clean, with reduced sweetness and a dry finish, so the beer’s outline really stands out.
MugiWhat even is a Brut IPA?! By crisp, do you mean it feels sharp and snappy going down?
Hop BroExactly. Put simply, it’s a clean-style IPA. You still get the hop aroma, but the finish is light, so it’s the kind of beer that makes you want the next sip right away.
MugiOhhh! Then Shonan Beer’s "Foeder-Aged Beer Grape" already has this mysterious upscale vibe just from the name. Wooden casks and grapes? It kind of feels like wine!
Hop BroExactly. A foeder is a large wooden cask. Since cask-derived aromas overlap with grape notes, it’s fun to slowly trace the aroma as you drink. It’s less like drinking and more like carefully decoding it.
MugiDecoding what?! But now I’m curious! Vector Brewing’s "TOMCAT HAZY IPA" sounds like it’s a beer that puts aroma first, right?
Hop BroYeah, as a Hazy IPA, its strengths are a soft mouthfeel and hop aroma. It’s cloudy and mellow, but the aroma still makes a strong statement, which is what makes it interesting next to the crispness of Koujiko.
MugiI see, so it’s made for comparison tasting. And Tamachi has 30 rotating taps every day, right? That’s basically a festival every day!
Hop BroExactly, and what makes Tamachi special is that you can enjoy it together with casual French cuisine. Line up the crispness, cask character, and hazy aroma, and you’ll want a pint at the counter right away.
MugiYeah, this is totally one for a drink in Tamachi! I want to start with Koujiko, get lost in Grape, or go flying into the aroma with TOMCAT. Now I want to drink them all!
Three guest beers at the Tamachi store on May 21
In CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi’s May 21 post, three craft beers were introduced as newly tapped offerings. The lineup was MATSURI BREWING / Matsuri Brewery's "Koujiko" (Brut IPA), Shonan Beer's "Foeder-Aged Beer Grape", and Vector Brewing's "TOMCAT HAZY IPA". Even though they are all rotating draft beers, the styles vary widely, making this a lineup that is easy to compare side by side.
"Koujiko" is a Brut IPA, so it is a beer to expect a clean, crisp drinking experience from. It is suited to people who want to enjoy a distinctly sharp beer character. Shonan Beer’s "Foeder-Aged Beer Grape" is an unconventional beer where notes from the wooden cask and grape elements overlap, making it the kind of beer you would want to sip slowly while following the aroma. Vector Brewing’s "TOMCAT HAZY IPA" is defined by the soft mouthfeel and hop aroma typical of a Hazy IPA, and it is a must-try for anyone who values aroma first.
Tamachi is a beer pub that promotes craft beer and casual French cuisine. It serves 30 craft beers on rotating taps every day, and both the beer and food lists are updated daily, so every visit brings a new combination. It also has counter seating, making it easy to visit alone or with a small group.
This is one of the places to keep in mind when you want to follow new rotating tap releases in the Shiba/Tamachi area. Paired with French-leaning dishes, it was a post that let you enjoy three different expressions at once: Brut IPA, foeder-aged beer, and Hazy IPA.
