Ten taps in a Mitaka beer pub, including fruit-focused beers

Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, Tokyo, has announced its lineup for Thursday, April 16, from 17:00 to 23:00. The tap list for the day spans a wide range, from fruit beers to German styles, IPA, and sour IPA. It is a lineup that balances springlike lightness with the familiar appeal that pairs easily with food.

Recently tapped are three beers: Hideji Beer / Kyushu Craft Kinkan, Sankt Gallen / Shonan Gold, and Yokohama Beer / Alt. Kyushu Craft Kinkan is a fruit beer where the bitterness of the kinkan peel stands out, while Shonan Gold is centered on the sweetness of citrus, making them likely candidates for side-by-side comparison. Alt is characterized by its gentle caramel notes, and its ease as a food beer is another attraction.

The rest of the lineup is as follows.

- Ogna x Himalaya Table / Hima Bitter
- KIX BEER / Weizenbock
- Y Market / HYSTERIC IPA
- Plank Brewery / Festbier
- Yokohama Beer / Pale Ale
- CYCAD BREWING / Buzz Honey
- Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing / OLLIE

The food menu includes beer motsuni, beer curry (chicken and tomato), nanohana with mustard dressing, and cold tofu topped with plenty of condiments. With everything from hearty snacks to lighter plates, it is a setup well suited to a day when you want to sample several taps at a relaxed pace.

They have also added phone reservations, and SNS message reservations are accepted until the day before. It looks like it will be an appealing day for anyone in Mitaka who wants to drink widely, from fruit-forward beers to classic styles.
