Ureshii Crepes and Craft Beer Shop Taps Craft Bank 04-KOLSCH
On August 7, the Aobadai shop in Meguro announced a guest beer from Craft Bank of Kyoto Fukuchiyama: 04-KOLSCH. The beer is being served at a venue where crepes and craft beer can be enjoyed together.
Hop BroBig news today: crepes-meet-craft update. At Happy Crepes and Craft Beer in Aobadai, Craft Bank from Fukuchiyama, Kyoto is bringing in its guest beer '04-KOLSCH' from around 5 p.m. on August 7.
MugiWait, crepes and beer together actually works!? And they get guest beers too? Okay, now I really want to know this place.
Hop BroThat is exactly the charm. It has casual and geeky appeal at the same time. You can stop in for one quick drink or stay and take it slow with food.
MugiOooh. But with '04-KOLSCH,' beyond a Kolsch-style beer, what kind of flavor am I supposed to picture?
Hop BroThe easiest way to put it is a clean, crisp sip. It is balanced and not too heavy, so it can sit next to something like a crepe without bullying the food.
MugiWhat does doesn't fight the food even mean? Is this beer the polite friend who always lets everyone else talk first!?
Hop BroHonestly, kind of. Kolsch is fun because it is ale roots, light feel. If I go full beer nerd, it uses top fermentation, but in the glass it comes off super clean and friendly.
MugiHold on, what is top fermentation!? I am picturing beer floating upward like, 'Yes, I am excellent,' and I know that cannot be right.
Hop BroAmazing image, wrong science. It is a yeast behavior thing. Very roughly, that process can build aroma, and Kolsch is one of those beers that still keeps everything smooth and easy to drink.
MugiOkay, now I get it. That sounds like a dangerously tempting pairing in Aobadai with a crepe in one hand and a beer in the other. My feet might just head there at 5.
Hop BroAnd this kind of guest beer with personality tells you a lot about the shop. It keeps crepes as the star, but still gives craft beer fans something to grin about.
MugiThen it is settled. I want crepes and 04-KOLSCH for a little reward session, and I want to be the first one to take a sip and yell, 'So crisp!'
