Chiitoko Shoten in Shimosuwa Adds Tsugaru Brewing’s “Arigatou!” Trio and Four Drafts
Chiitoko Shoten, a beer pub in Shimosuwa, Nagano, is open on June 18 from 10:00 to 22:00. The lineup includes three cans from newly launched Tsugaru Brewing plus drafts from Minoh Beer, Field Ales, Y.Market Brewing, and Kyoto Brewing.
Hop BroShimosuwa's Chiitoko Shoten has Tsugaru Brewing's first release in the spotlight today. Three Arigatou! cans plus four draft taps makes this a very serious day.
MugiWhat! A shop with dagashi, beer, and coffee is way too much information! And it's open from 10:00 to 22:00, so the temptation lasts all day!
Hop BroThe headline is the three-can lineup: Arigatou! Lager, Arigatou! Saison, and Arigatou! IPA. Getting to follow Tsugaru Brewing right as it starts up this spring is the fun part.
MugiWait, Saison sounds like a season word, so that's a beer? That is way too stylish for my beginner brain!
Hop BroHere's the thing, Saison is a farmhouse ale style that's light, spicy, and dry on the finish. In plain terms, it's the kind you can gulp happily while still getting great aroma.
MugiNo way! So lager is the comfy one, IPA is the hoppy punch, and Saison is the breezy one. That's basically the Arigatou trio!
Hop BroAnd Tsugaru Brewing is led by Chris, a Kyoto Brewing cofounder and its first head brewer, so it's a new brewery to watch. Drinking along while the brewery finds its stride is a pretty special treat.
MugiWhoa, now I want to root for them too! But with four drafts, I'd need a meeting at the taps before I could choose, right?
Hop BroOn draft you've got Minoh Beer's Kozaru IPA, Field Ales' Hardboiled, Y.Market Brewing's NEW Onigashima IX, and Kyoto Brewing's Ichigo Ichie, so the style range is huge. IPA, pale ale, an 8.0% bruiser, and a Kyoto staple all in one stop.
MugiAnd they have dagashi, light food, and coffee too? That's a grown-up field trip! You can go there for beer or just for a break, and both make sense.
Hop BroI'd start with Arigatou! Lager, then move to Kozaru IPA. The day-drinking route is perfect, and my throat's already reacting just imagining it.
MugiI'd grab some dagashi and start with Arigatou! Saison! I want a pint now, Chiitoko Shoten officially sounds dangerous!
