Hop BroKanda just got a fun new tapping at Craft Beer Market Kanda, with two total opposites going on at the same time.
MugiWhat! That already sounds good. Which two pours are we talking about?
Hop BroIt's CLIFF GARO BREWING's sour ale Dragon Mee from Okinawa, plus a stout from Minoh Beer.
MugiWow, one sounds tropical and the other sounds pitch-black. That range is wild for one pub!
Hop BroDragon Mee layers dragon fruit and blueberry with the fruity character from Saison yeast, and that's the clever part.
MugiHold on, Saison yeast sounds like homework. What does that even taste like?
Hop BroIt just means the fermentation gives it a bright, fruity lift, so you get gentle tartness and sweetness and it goes down easy.
MugiOooh, that sounds dangerous in hot weather. That's the kind of beer where the first glass vanishes.
Hop BroThen if you switch to the Minoh stout, you get coffee and bitter chocolate roast notes with a smooth mouthfeel, so the whole mood flips.
MugiWhat is this, a perfect route? Right by Kanda Station, this feels like a straight shot to a tasting flight.
Hop BroAnd Craft Beer Market Kanda keeps around 30 craft beers, so it's an easy spot for after-work detours and side-by-side comparisons.
MugiThat's unfair, now I want both. Tonight's mission is sour ale first, stout second, and no hesitation.
New taps
Craft Beer Market Kanda, a beer pub near Kanda Station, announced its June 17 fresh taps. The update features two beers: `Dragon Me` from `CLIFF GARO Brewing` in Okinawa and `Stout` from `Minoh Beer`. The pair offers a clear contrast between a bright, fruit-forward sour ale and a classic dark beer.
`Dragon Me` is described as a sour ale with lively berry character from dragon fruit and blueberry, layered with the fruity notes typical of saison yeast. It also carries a gentle acidity and a touch of sweetness, making it an easy-drinking choice and a natural first pour on a warm day.
The other tap, `Stout`, brings a different profile. Minoh Beer’s stout is a dark beer known for its roast aroma, with coffee and bittersweet chocolate notes and a smooth mouthfeel. It gives the lineup a grounded counterpoint to the more playful fruit character of Dragon Me.
The venue itself is set up for relaxed beer drinking: weekday lunch and dinner service, all-day hours on weekends and holidays, and around 30 craft beers on tap. With drinks ranging from beer to sour, whiskey, and soft drinks, it works well for a quick stop after work or a slower tasting session with food in central Kanda.
