FieldAles "Hard Boiled" tapped at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress

Hop BroAt Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, FieldAles "Hard Boiled" went on tap. It was a pour worth checking out, running from 16:00 to 23:00 on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
MugiWhoa! The name Hard Boiled makes me think of eggs for some reason! But it's a pale ale, huh? Nice!
Hop BroExactly. And it's a beer finished with decoction and a long boil, so the malt character really comes through cleanly. That kind of attention to detail really fits FieldAles, founded by Wakai from Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhat's decoction? That sounds like a spell! I get the part about the malt aroma, but it's a little hard to follow!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a process where part of the mash is pulled out and boiled again, which helps bring out a malty depth. Add solid bitterness and a dry finish, and the beer drinks really crisply.
MugiI see! So even at 5.5%, it shouldn't feel too heavy, and it sounds like something you could drink pretty quickly. That just-before-caramel note sounds tasty too!
Hop BroExactly, and on top of that there were three taps opening at once that day: Minoh Beer's "Papa Zaru Lager," FLORA FERMENTATION's "FLORA LAGER," and Kyoto Brewing's "Ichiryu Manbai."
MugiWait, that's an heaven-like lineup! If I hear 20% off on Wednesday and Thursday, there's no choice but to swing by!
Hop BroAnd since Progress also offers takeaway, you can have one there and, if you like it, carry it home for later. It's open from 16:00 on weekdays and from 13:00 on weekends and holidays, and cashless only feels very current too.
MugiWow, pet-friendly outdoor seating is great too. On a day like today, having a drink with some snacks would be pure happiness!
Hop BroBottom line, it's way too strong as a Thursday drinking option. Whether you drink Hard Boiled there or take it home by the measure, it's the kind of place that makes you want both.
MugiTotally! It's the kind of place where you seriously end up debating drink it there or take it home. Today, let's start at Progress with one drink, no, two!
FieldAles "Hard Boiled" at Progress in Musashi-Kosugi
At the craft beer bar "Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress" in Musashi-Kosugi, Kawasaki, a noteworthy pour went on tap on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 16:00 to 23:00. This time's recommendation is FieldAles' pale ale, "Hard Boiled".
The post introduces FieldAles as a "rising brewery & pub that has been brewing for just three months." It also touches on the background of its launch by Wakai, who came from Shiga Kogen Beer, as well as its approach to designing everything from brewing and tank management to shipping and even how the beer should be enjoyed. The beer itself is a well-boiled pale ale / 5.5% finished with decoction and a long boil. It is characterized by a crisp malt aroma, malty nuances just shy of caramel, firm bitterness, and a dry finish.
On this day, Progress offered more than draft beer. You can relax and drink in the shop, of course, but there is also the option to take it home through measured takeaway. There is also a notice that every Wednesday and Thursday is 20% off, making it an easy place to stop by on a Thursday.
The day's tap list also included three other pours.
- Minoh Beer "Papa Zaru Lager"
- FLORA FERMENTATION "FLORA LAGER"
- Kyoto Brewing "Ichiryu Manbai"
Progress opens at 16:00 on weekdays, and from 13:00 on weekends and holidays. It accepts cashless payments only, and outdoor seating allows pets. From a drink with food to takeaway for the way home, it is set up as an easy everyday stop.
