Seven Kegs at Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka, Including Umenishiki and Gotenba Kogen
In a Sunday, May 17 post from Craft Beer Server Land (Kagurazaka), the 'Today’s Beer' lineup featured seven labels centered on two kinds of weissbier, along with wheat beer, helles, pilsner, amber lager, and British Pale Ale. As a basement beer pub, it offered a lineup with plenty of room for side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroDown in Kagurazaka, Craft Beer Server Land has set up a seven-keg tasting lineup.
MugiWhat! Seven kegs is basically a tiny beer festival! The sound of a basement beer pub is strong too!
Hop BroAnd the center is wheat beer, with Umenishiki Beer’s Weissbier and Gotenba Kogen Beer’s Weizenbock lined up together, which is what makes it exciting.
MugiWhat is that! I’ve kind of heard of Weissbier, but Weizenbock suddenly sounds really strong!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Weissbier is lighter, while Weizenbock has that rich flavor on top. It feels like the softness of wheat gets an added layer of depth.
MugiOhhh! Then comparing Umenishiki with its soft mouthfeel against the fuller-bodied Gotenba Kogen sounds really fun!
Hop BroExactly. Add Nagisa’s American Wheat, Shonan Beer’s Helles, and OIRASE BEER’s Pilsner, and the range you can choose from by mood gets amazing.
MugiWhat even is Helles!? It sounds like some magic spell, but being told it’s the one to choose if you’re not sure makes it sound way too reliable!
Hop BroHelles is a crisp lager, and its signature is a crisp finish. It pairs easily with food, and lining it up with a pilsner makes the differences in their character really interesting.
MugiI see! Then ending the night with amber lager and a British-style beer feels very much like the move of someone who knows their stuff!
Hop BroExactly. It feels like a night in the basement of Kagurazaka 2-chome spent enjoying the breadth of the taps. This is the kind of lineup that makes you want to go drink right now.
MugiYeah, I can’t hold back today! I want to debate my first glass, get lost on the second, and be happy by the third!
Seven different beers, each with its own character, prepared in the basement of Kagurazaka
In the 'Today’s Beer' lineup published by Craft Beer Server Land on Sunday, May 17, the draft selection was broad and well balanced. From wheat beers to lagers, amber, and pale ale, it was a lineup that made it easy to choose according to your mood.
The highlights were Umenishiki Beer’s Weissbier and Gotenba Kogen Beer’s Weizenbock. In the post, the former was described as having a "soft mouthfeel" and "little hop bitterness," while the latter was emphasized for its "rich flavor." Both are beers for days when you want to enjoy the mellow character of wheat, but tasting them side by side is interesting because of the difference between lightness and depth.
The lineup also included Nagisa Beer’s American Wheat, Shonan Beer’s Helles, and OIRASE BEER’s Pilsner. Helles was introduced as the one to choose "if you’re not sure," and it seems like a dependable reference point for anyone looking for a crisp, clean drinking experience. OIRASE BEER’s Pilsner brings to mind clean hop bitterness and a crisp finish, making it easy to pair with food.
On the darker side, MASTERS BREWING’s Adult Amber Lager and OUR BREWING’s Four Dimensions (British Pale Ale) also appeared. In a beer pub located underground in Kagurazaka 2-chome, this day’s lineup is especially worth seeing as a place to quietly enjoy the range of taps and the fun of comparing different beers, rather than flashy presentation.
Highlights of the taps that day
- The wheat beers let you enjoy different expressions from Umenishiki Beer and Gotenba Kogen Beer
- The crisp styles are easy to choose from with Helles and Pilsner
- Amber Lager and British Pale Ale make it easy to build a progression all the way to the final drink
The appeal of this place is that you can move from a light, lively beer to one with more body depending on your mood that day.
