Yorocco Beer's 'Liberation Pils' Guest-Served at Niku to Mugi in Hatagaya
A post was published introducing Yorocco Beer’s German-style pilsner, 'Liberation Pils,' at the yakiniku stand 'Niku to Mugi' in Hatagaya, Tokyo. It is characterized by the refreshing character of German malt and hops, including Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and is being featured as a drink during the current spotlight week.
Hop BroAt Yakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi in Hatagaya, Yorocco Beer’s 'Liberation Pils' is being guest-served. It’s that wood-warmth kind of place where you take off your shoes to enter, and the fact that it has 10 taps plus yakiniku is just the best.
MugiWait, it’s a beer pub where you take off your shoes to go in!? It sounds like it might be even more relaxing than home, and I can’t tell if it’s a yakiniku place or a secret base!
Hop BroWhat makes it special is that it’s not just a place to drink: it has craft beer, natural wine, a DJ booth, and even a hibachi, so it’s a pretty playful space. This time it’s being framed as Yorocco Beer spotlight week, and if you drink a pint, you apparently get a rare sticker too.
MugiWhat is that, the kind of thing that makes you want to drink just for the rare sticker!? I don’t know whether the beer or the collection is the star, but my desire to collect things is about to run wild!
Hop BroAnd that 'Liberation Pils' is a German-style pilsner. It’s an orthodox brew made with German malt and German hops, and it has a clean bitterness and crisp finish.
MugiI hear 'pilsner' a lot, but what’s different about German-style? Just the name alone somehow makes me sit up straighter!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it’s the kind of beer that doesn’t aim for flashy aromatics, but instead clearly shows the richness of the malt and the outline of the hops. In particular, this beer’s key point is the menthol-like freshness from Hallertauer Mittelfrüh.
MugiWhat, hops can taste menthol-like!? The idea that a throat-lozenge-like freshness could come from beer is honestly too strange!
Hop BroExactly, and that’s why it pairs so well with yakiniku. Because it has the richness of malt and a crisp freshness, it sweeps away the fat and calls you in for the next bite, making it a seriously good food beer.
MugiPut it with lean meat or kimchi and it’d definitely be amazing! I’m dying to have a drink in Hatagaya today, Hop bro!
Hop BroExactly, you can’t miss a guest tap like this. If we chow down on yakiniku and wash it down with 'Liberation Pils,' I’m sure both of us will be grinning the whole time.
MugiYeah, we’re definitely in want beer and meat mode now! If we toast in Hatagaya, by the time we head home we’ll be overflowing with happiness!
