04&Beer in Niigata updates taps with Plank’s Pilserl and four others
Beer pub ...04&Beer in a side street in Niigata Furumachi updated its tap list in a June 24 post. The lineup includes Plank Brewery’s Pilserl, Swan Lake Beer, Ushitora Brewery, and other styles, with a 5 p.m. opening announced as well.
Hop BroToday's topic is 04&Beer's fresh tap list in Niigata. They updated it on June 24 and even posted the 5 p.m. opening time.
MugiWait, five beers on tap already sounds fun. What's pouring?
Hop BroThe headliner is Plank Brewery's Pilserl as a new pour, a German pilsner with great aroma and a crisp finish.
MugiGerman pilsner? What does that taste like? The name sounds kind of intense!
Hop BroBasically it's crisp, floral, and bitter, with a light lager body and hop aroma that carries cleanly.
MugiOhhh, and Plank is from Bavaria, right? Authentic pilsner energy suddenly sounds very drinkable.
Hop BroThen you've got Swan Lake Beer's Amber Swan Ale, Ushitora Brewery's Sen no Sake ni Natte, MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter, and Minoh Pale as Real Ale. That's a sharp lineup.
MugiHold on, what is Real Ale? That made it sound like regular ale has impostors!
Hop BroNothing shady there. It's more like soft carbonation, living flavor, with a gentler texture and pub-style charm.
MugiA quiet alley spot opening at 5 p.m. with that lineup? after-work first pint just became a reward system.
Hop BroAnd because it runs from pilsner to amber to bitter to pale ale, different angles of malt and hops come through so well that honestly, now I want a drink too.
MugiThen it's settled! We'll toast with Pilserl first and hit the Minoh Real Ale next. I want to go drink now so let's move!
...04&Beer, a beer pub at 1523 Nishi-bori Mae-dori 8-bancho in Niigata City’s central Furumachi area, updated its tap list in a June 24 post. The shop’s own profile line, which emphasizes enjoying craft beer "with someone, or something," fits the relaxed, side-street atmosphere well.
The five beers listed were:
- Pilserl / Plank Brewery (Bavaria) : new
- Amber Swan Ale / Swan Lake Beer (Niigata)
- Sennosake ni natte / Ushitora Brewery (Tochigi)
- MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter / MATSUMOTO BREWERY (Nagano)
- MINOHBEER PALE ALE (Real Ale) / Minoh Beer (Osaka) : new
In the caption, the bar says it will tap Plank’s Pilserl and recommends a fragrant German pilsner. It also switches the real ale slot to Minoh Beer Pale Ale. The list spans pilsner, amber ale, bitter, and pale ale, giving guests a range from crisp lager character to malt-forward and hop-bitter profiles.
The post also notes a 5 p.m. opening, making it an easy stop after work. In a quiet alley in central Niigata, this tap list is built for a slower, more attentive drinker who wants to compare styles one glass at a time.
