Anton Beer Roppongi Uncorks 10 Drafts: DDH WC IPA and Hard Tea Too
CRAFT BEER Anton Beer Roppongi (Ryudocho branch) has released its draft lineup for April 1. The selection adds cider and hard tea to Japanese and overseas craft beer, and its weekday 5 p.m. opening makes it easy to stop by.
Hop BroA lineup of 10 draft beers lined up in the basement in Roppongi really feels like Anton Beer Roppongi.
MugiWait, there are that many underground? Going straight there after work is a huge plus!
Hop BroIt opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays, and with drinks served until 23:30, it works for both a quick one and a long tasting session.
MugiWhat, that sounds hard! What's the difference between a pilsner and a Hazy?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, a crisp, snappy pilsner like Onidensetsu's Aooni Pilsner is light and brisk, while Ise Kadoya's Boosted Hazy IPA is all about haze and juiciness.
MugiWhoa, haze and juiciness sounds like something you can drink almost like juice!
Hop BroExactly. Add Minoh's Nice na Bitter, Black Tide's Tea Time, Swan Lake's Miel Blanc, and overseas picks like Smog City's Kampai! From Torrance and Parrotdog's Birdseye, and you get a total IPA festival vibe.
MugiWait, is Tea Time tea? What even is hard tea?!
Hop BroHere, Black Tide's Tea Time is on the menu as a hard tea, OK, ADAM's Origin is a cider, and DDC!'s Solstice d'Ete Cerises is a cherry Belgian white, so you can also play around with acidity and fruitiness.
MugiThis lineup in Roppongi is cheating! I want to start with a lighter first pint and finish with something hop-bomb crazy!
Hop BroExactly. It makes you want to head underground after work and work your way through the well-balanced tap list one by one.
MugiJust reading this makes my throat dry up! Feels like Roppongi is the place tonight!
At CRAFT BEER Anton Beer Roppongi (5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, B1F), located underground in Tokyo's Roppongi, the draft lineup for April 1 was announced. On weekdays, the bar is open from 17:00 to 24:00, making it easy to drop in after work. Food last orders are at 23:00, and drinks are served until 23:30, so it also works for a late-night pint.
A total of 10 beers and drinks are on tap that day. From Japanese breweries, Minoh's "Nice na Bitter", Onidensetsu's "Aooni Pilsner", Ise Kadoya's "Boosted Hazy IPA", Black Tide's "Tea Time", and Swan Lake's "Miel Blanc" are featured. Overseas offerings include Smog City's "Kampai! From Torrance", Trademark's "Ocean Thunder", and Parrotdog's "Birdseye", giving the lineup a solid spread of IPAs and hazy styles.
Beyond beer, OK, ADAM's "Origin" appears as a cider, and DDC!'s "Solstice d'Ete Cerises" is listed as a cherry Belgian white. In addition, Black Tide's "Tea Time" is on tap as a hard tea. While the focus is on hop-forward IPAs, the lineup also offers acidity, fruitiness, and a light, easy-drinking feel.
Even in Roppongi, the appeal here is that you can casually compare multiple styles without putting on airs. It is easy to start with a lighter cider or pilsner, then move on to Hazy IPA or DDH WC IPA for the second round and beyond. On the night of April 1, this is the kind of place worth visiting for a well-balanced tap list.
