Hop BroI've got a PEPOWN pairing story for you today. The brewery in Chigasaki is hosting a Sun2Diner POP UP CHEF on Wednesday, September 2, from 12:00 to 22:00.
MugiWait, a beer-and-food team-up? My schedule suddenly looks delicious.
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is serious. The Mac'n'Pork Burger packs smoky caramel mac'n'pork with pulled pork, and Jerk Chicken starts from noon too. You can even get it to go.
MugiWhat is this, a meat overload event? My brain just turned into a burger bun.
Hop BroFirst up is Arrogant Bastard. It's a 7.2% American Strong Ale from Arrogant Consortia, made to handle the weight of a juicy burger.
MugiOkay but American Strong Ale sounds like a beer that does push-ups. Should I be intimidated?
Hop BroNot like that. It means big malt backbone and enough bitterness to stand up to rich, fatty food without disappearing.
Hop BroThen there's Bird the Pale Ale from Brasserie Knot at 5.0%. It's the balanced pick, really easy to pair with a classic burger.
MugiSo that's the quietly competent pint. Nice. Then who's taking on the spicy Jerk Chicken?
Hop BroThat job goes to Curious from Passific Brewing, a cucumber-jalapeno sour at 4.5%. It's designed to sit right alongside the spice of the jerk chicken.
MugiNo way, salad-sounding ingredients in a beer, and it works with chicken? Now I need to taste that for myself.
Hop BroExactly, it's basically a three-beer pairing run. PEPOWN makes me want burgers, chicken, and the whole flight in one go.
Three pairings for the pop-up
PEPOWN is a brewery at 1-6-9 Tomoe, Chigasaki, Kanagawa. In its Instagram post, the brewery announced a Sun2Diner POP UP CHEF session on Wednesday, September 2, from 12:00 to 22:00. The menu includes Mac'n'Pork Burger, built with smoky mac and cheese and pulled pork, plus Jerk Chicken. Service starts at 12:00, and takeout is available.
The post also listed three pairing beers. Arrogant Bastard from Arrogant Consortia is an American Strong Ale at 7.2%, suggested for the burger's rich body and bitterness. Bird from Brasserie Knot is a Pale Ale at 5.0%, positioned as a balanced choice for a classic burger. Curious from Passific Brewing is a Sour Ale with cucumber and jalapeño at 4.5%, chosen to match the spice of the jerk chicken.
The result is a straightforward food-and-beer pairing menu rather than a vague event notice. For beer fans, the appeal is that the brewery spells out which beer goes with which dish.
