Hop Kotan's 'Umemigachi' Newly Tapped at Kichijoji's P2B Haus, with Plenty of Spring-Friendly Taps
At the beer pub P2B Haus in Kichijoji, Hop Kotan's newly tapped beer 'Umemigachi' has arrived. It's a saison made with ume and hops from Kamifurano, and the venue also offers a diverse tap list featuring CTO IPA and Nara Brewing's UNDERWATER.
Hop BroAt P2B Haus in Kichijoji, Hop Kotan's Umemigachi is newly on tap. It's the kind of story that fits spring into early summer, and it makes me want to drink it right away.
MugiWait, a plum beer!? And what's a Ume Saison? Even the name sounds too refreshing.
Hop BroSaison is originally a style that's like a seasonal beer for farm work, light and dry. What makes this interesting is that it layers in ume and 100% Kamifurano hops, bringing out the fresh sourness and aroma of green plums.
Mugi100% Kamifurano hops? Suddenly we're talking about the fields! Does a hop origin really show up that much in the flavor?
Hop BroIt does. Kamifurano hops have a clean aroma profile, and because they don't overpower the plum's ripe and green character, the result goes down smoothly.
MugiSo it's not just sour, it has fruitiness too! Just hearing that it's a spring-friendly pint makes me really curious~.
Hop BroAnd the tap list that day is amazing too, ranging from the bitter MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter to Nara Brewing's UNDERWATER and P2B's CTO IPA.
MugiWhoa, too many choices! That's basically a traffic jam of taps, right? Where do I even start?
Hop BroIf you want something light, go for 'HARBOR' or 'Golem'; if you want something more substantial, Kurikuro or Orange Chocolate Stout are good picks. They also have lagers, IPAs, stouts, and sake-yeast beers, so it's easy to build your mood.
MugiAnd they even do all-you-can-drink until 6:30 p.m. on weekdays? Kichijoji's trap is way too strong! And they even have reservation courses~ that's unfair!
Hop BroP2B Haus is open 4:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. on weekdays and 12:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, so it's ideal for taking your time and comparing beers. Why not start with 'Umemigachi' and, at the end, have one more drink together?
MugiLet's do it! Cheers with Umemigachi, then bar-hop through the taps. That's absolutely tonight's right answer!
On April 20, one more keg was tapped at the beer pub P2B Haus in Kichijoji. The addition this time is Hop Kotan's 'Umemigachi.' It's an Ume Saison made with 100% ume and Kamifurano-grown hops, and it is described as having the fresh tartness and aroma of green ume, plus fruitiness reminiscent of ripe ume. It's a light, easy-drinking beer suited to the season moving from spring into early summer.
That day's tap list at the bar is also wide-ranging, with something for everyone from classics to more distinctive options. The lineup includes the bitter MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter, the Munich Helles Jorurizaka Helles, P2B's CTO IPA, Knot's HARBOR, MARCA's COFFEE AMBER, Sankt Gallen's Orange Chocolate Stout, NOMCRAFT's Punky Duck, Miyazaki Hideji's Kurikuro, Nara Brewing's UNDERWATER and UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS, and FLORA's Golem.
