Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono-tsuki posts June 20 tap list with Garden Path and Fort George
The Yokohama beer pub Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono-tsuki announced a June 20 tap update, featuring two new beers: Garden Path Fermentation's The Little Horse Around and, once it arrives, Fort George Brewery's Sherman IPA. The day's lineup totals six beers.
Hop BroNoge is looking good today, with two fresh taps at Kokoro no Tsuki. Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki is lining up Garden Path and Fort George.
MugiWait, six taps total and two newcomers on top of that? I'm going to freeze in front of the menu!
Hop BroFirst up is Garden Path Fermentation's The Little Horse Around. It's a saison made with local wild yeast, oak-barrel fermented, dry-hopped, then secondary-fermented with honey.
MugiWhat is that, wild yeast exactly? I'm picturing yeast sprinting through a forest!
Hop BroNothing that dramatic, it's basically naturally occurring yeast. Brewers use local microbes to pull out a place-specific character, so you get spice and fruit layered together.
MugiWhoa, and oak-barrel fermentation makes it sound like fancy wine now. If it picks up wood aroma too, I might need to sit up straighter to drink it.
Hop BroThat's the fun part: the barrel note and dry-hop aroma land together, so oak and fruit notes sit side by side. The honey refermentation adds extra depth too.
MugiThen what about Fort George Brewery's Sherman IPA? That name sounds like it enters the room wearing a cape made of hops!
Hop BroSherman IPA, once it arrives, is a bright tropical IPA built on Strata, Ekuanot, and Luminosa. It has a citrus snap, and it makes me want Chinese dishes like mapo tofu or drool wontons immediately.
MugiThat's it, I'm charging in at 2 p.m.. Start with The Little Horse Around, then chase Sherman IPA the second it hits the tap!
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono-tsuki, a beer pub on the second floor in Miyakawacho, Noge, Yokohama, opened at 14:00 on June 20. In the post, the shop described the mood as enjoying "beautiful beer and Chinese food together" and shared its tap update for the day.
The two beers highlighted as new pours were Garden Path Fermentation's The Little Horse Around and, upon arrival, Fort George Brewery's Sherman IPA. The former is described as a saison built around local wild yeast, oak-barrel fermentation, dry hopping, and secondary fermentation with honey, giving it layers of barrel character, spice, and fruit. Sherman IPA is presented as a hop-forward, refreshing IPA using Strata, Ekuanot, and Luminosa, with tropical and citrus notes.
